POOL TEMPERATURE
Figure 5-8. Pool Temperature Set Point Change Screen
For pool water temperature set point, use the arrow keys to change the set point and then press Enter. The RIU
will automatically return to the status screen display.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
• Air Temperature (Range 70˚F to 95˚F) The air temperature should normally be set about 2˚F above the pool
water temperature to minimize the pool water evaporation rate (high temperature spas are an exception).
• Relative Humidity (Range 40% to 65%) The normal range for the humidity set point is 50% to 60%. Lower
set points will require more energy (electricity) to satisfy the dehumidification requirement and increase pool
water evaporation.
• Pool Temperature (Range 70˚F to 104˚F) The pool temperature set point is normally set between 80˚F and
88˚F for a typical swimming pool and higher for a spa, depending on user preference.
Purge Mode Control Menu
Purge Mode causes the unit to force the optional, field-provided, economizer dampers and fan to full open,
introducing large quantities of outside air to the space. This is typically used when “shocking” the pool.
Compressor operation is disabled during purge, but the auxiliary air and water heating systems remain active.
To access the purge mode control menu:
• Press the PRG key to access the main menu.
• Use the arrow keys to scroll to the menu selection for Purge Mode and then press the Enter key.
• To activate purge mode, press the enter key to move the cursor to the OFF/ON parameter.
• Press the Up or Down key to toggle the value to ON.
If the unit is not equipped with the economizer option, a flashing “CAUTION!!! NO FREEZE PROTECTION”
warning will be displayed. This warning indicates that operation of purge mode, without regard for outside air
temperatures below freezing, can result in damage to hot water coils or other equipment in the pool area.
TIt is the user’s responsibility to use this feature properly to prevent freeze damage to downstream equipment.
100% outside air at below freezing conditions has the potential to cause serious damage.
!
CAUTION
The dehumidifier should be configured to operate at the set points designed for the facility.
These set points are shown on the yellow label on the door of the RIU. Set points other than those
shown may not be attainable with this dehumidifier.
