1-

 

Before switching on pool heater, activate the pump of the filter and ensure that no air remains 

inside the water heater.  This can be checked when no more bubbles appear at the pool when water 
recycles back to the surface. 

 

2-

 

Adjust the thermostat to the desired temperature level.  The time to reach the desired 

temperature varies, depending on initial temperature of the water, weather conditions, etc... 
 
3-

 

For security, two reset buttons protect the machine against high temperature elevation 120 C°, 

the reset button shot off automatically the circuit, so you have to restart by pushing the red button.  
The third security, It’s a pressure switch for the lower water pressure in the water thank. This unit 
require a minimum flow of 35 gallons per minute. 

 

4-

 

Maintain proper water chemical balance: pH level: 7.4, alkalinity: 120, salinity: 180-260, 

otherwise internal parts may deteriorate prematurely, those damages are bit covered by the 
warranty. Do not send water through the water heater until it is balanced (see bypass diagram) 
Test the water and balance it every week. 

 

5-

 

Tank should

 

be full of water before starting up, otherwise permanent damage to parts occurs.  

Such damage is not covered by the warranty. 
 

 

 

WINTERIZING 

 

Empty heater tank draining plug to prevent water freezing inside tank during winter. 
 

 
 

SAFETY 

 

Before opening the pool heater, make sure it is not plugged in. 
 
This unit require a minimum flow of 35 gallons per minute. 
 
Part replacement with original only 
 
Do not install two heaters on the same line because it could lower the water pressure and cause 
damage. 
 
If you install a timer on the pump and/or the filter, there needs to be a 240 volts timer on the water 
heater do that this one shuts down 30 minutes before the one on the pump and/or filter
