STEP 3
Connect the power cable provided with your iCool to a standard power outlet capable of providing at least 12
amps in countries with a 220 V supply and 24 amps in countries with a 110 V supply. Although the system
requires much less power than this in normal operation, all heat pump compressor motors need considerably
more power for a minute or so each time they starts up.
FOR SAFETY, ThE POWER OUTLET YOU USE MUST BE EARThED CORRECTLY.
The main power switch is also part of the electrical safety circuit that prevents the
possibility of electric shock.
it is a good idea to test this system each time you use
the iCool by turning on the main switch and then pressing the test button above the
switch. if the safety system is working normally, pressing the test button will cause
the main power switch to shut down instantly.
After this test, reset the main switch to ON to begin normal operation.
The Water Flow Warning Screen also
provides an option to over ride the flow
protection system in the rare situation
of a false alarm.

Once you use this function to disarm the flow safety monitor nothing will stop the system even if water is not flowing and
this can seriously damage the pump as it will have no lubrication or cooling from the water.
This over ride function is only to be used for short
periods where it is essential to keep your system operating until the reason for the false
alarm can be determined and corrected.
WATER FLOW CAN ALSO STOP iF ThE hEAT EXChANGER TANK iS FROZEN SOLiD!
if you set the temperature below about 7ºC or 45ºF it is occasionally possible in certain climatic condi-
tions for the heat exchange tank to freeze solid which will block most , but not all, of the flow of water.
A small amount of water may still be flowing through the automatic air bleed system which bypasses
the heat exchanger, but the safety system monitors the heat exchanger tank flow only and if no water
is flowing through the tank the system will stop.
in order to cool the pool water to these extremely low temperatures the system must cool to at least
5 to 7ºC below the set temperature and this takes it very close to the temperature that water freezes
solid.
Following international safety standards your iCool will not accept water temperature settings below
6ºC or 42ºF as this would put athletes using the system unattended at risk of hypothermia. however,
the iCool is easily powerful enough to freeze the water inside the system itself and if this happens the
safety screen above will appear and the system will stop.
Please be aware that the tank can only freeze if your setting is below 7 to 8ºC and this can only hap-
pen in certain conditions. if your set temperature is above this then it is much more likely that the
system has stopped because of a lack of water flow caused by either a hose or filter obstruction, or
an air leak in the hoses, or trapped air in the system.
if there is a possibilty that the heat exchanger tank is frozen, then you must allow the system to warm
up for about 30 minutes to thaw the ice. Leave the power switched on so that the fan can operate if
necessary to thaw out the tank. Set a new temperature no lower than 8 or 9ºC before restarting so that
the tank does not freeze again.
