LOCATING THE HEATSTAR UNIT
The Heatstar unit can be located either outside or within a plant room.
It does not matter if the unit is sited in sunlight or in shade.
All that is required is a free flow of fresh air and that the air already used by the Heatstar unit is discouraged from
re-cycling back into the unit.
Please also consider that regular access would be required to the internals of the Heatstar unit for servicing and
maintenance. Therefore the chosen location must be large enough to accommodate the Heatstar unit and to
enable sufficient access to the unit for essential maintenance.
Under certain conditions, a limited amount of water may be produced from the base of the Heatstar unit.
If the Heatstar unit is to be located at a level lower than that of the pool, then wiring may be required for an
electrical interlock with the pool filtration pump.
The Heatstar unit will produce noise when operating and would normally be available to run both day and night.
Therefore, do not position the unit near to a bed room or where neighbours may be disturbed.
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENT SUMMARY
The Heatstar unit would require :
-
A mains electricity supply.
-
Pipe work connections from the pool water filtration circuit.
-
A waste drain for water condensed from the fresh air.
-
A free flow of fresh air.
APPLICATION NOTES
If a salt chlorination or electrolytic system is to be used on the pool then contact Heatstar immediately.
It should be noted that swimming pool liners can be damaged if the pool water temperature is too high. If a pool
liner is used, then the maximum temperature which the liner will stand should be confirmed and the pool water
temperature maintained and monitored below that temperature.
OFF LOADING & MANOEUVRING
The Heatstar unit is heavy and the use of lifting apparatus is strongly recommended to off load the unit from the
delivering lorry and to manoeuvre the unit into position.
A minimum of two people will be necessary to sensibly manoeuvre the unit.
Do not drop or jar the unit from any height - not even two or three inches. Move it gently and progressively.
Do not lean the unit by more the 60°. The unit contains heavy motors which are mounted from the base.
The Heatstar unit can be damaged if due care is not taken, particularly the refrigeration system which may be
fractured resulting in refrigerant loss.
Do not attempt to lift the Heatstar unit by the pipe out lets or the electrics tray handles - this will cause damage
and leaks.
The Heatstar unit will pass through a standard door opening.
