❷ Installation
2.1 I Selecting the location
•
The appliance must be installed in a dry ventilated plant room with no pool maintenance
products stored nearby.
•
90° elbow fittings must not be installed directly at the heater inlet and outlet; leave at least
25 cm of straight pipe to prevent chatter of the flow switch armature.
• The appliance must be positioned horizontally or vertically and held by piping supported by brackets on
either side of the heater,
•
If the heater is installed in a vertical position, the direction of flow must occur upwards,
•
Leave a free space around the appliance to facilitate its installation and maintenance,
•
Preferably, the heater should be installed at the low point so that it is always full of water,
•
The water treatment system must be installed at the low point after the heater to prevent chlorine from
flowing back into the heater.
•
Comply with the direction of installation. If this is not complied with
(see diagram opposite), the flow switch will not be activated.
2.2 I Hydraulic connections
•
An arrow on the heater body indicates the hydraulic connection direction to be implemented.

: Red Line
: Pump
: Filter
: Water treatment
•
The connection can be made using a PVC pressure pipe:
-
directly if the flow rate is less than 30m³/h,
-
via a by-pass if the flow rate is greater than 30m³/h,
-
on the pool's filtration circuit, after the filter
and before the water treatment system
.
• Check the correct clamping of the hydraulic connectors and that there are no leaks.
We recommend assembly with a by-pass since this facilitates appliance maintenance.
