•
The conditions of installation and use described above have all been met.
•
The outdoor temperature is between -3 and +43°C.
•
The water temperature is of 15°C minimum.
•
The evaporator at the rear/on the sides of the HP is clean (leaves, dust, pollen, cobwebs...)
You can now start your device by following, in the given order, the following steps:
•
Open the 3 valves of the bypass (refer to the hydraulic diagram).
•
Half-close the bypass valve.
•
Remove all unused items or tools from the area surrounding the HP.
•
Start the pump of the filtration system.
•
Power up the HP by engaging the circuit-breaker and using the ON/OFF button of the display.
•
Check that the HP starts and stops in sync with the filtration circuit: if no water is detected in the HP,
the display shows "FLO"
•
The HP starts after a delay of a few minutes.
•
Adjust the temperature ("Regulation" chapter).
•
Adjust the water flow ("Water flow setting" chapter).
•
After a few minutes, you can adjust the bypass valve as indicated in the "Water flow setting" chap-
ter. Having completed the above steps, cover the pool and let the HP operate for a few days with
the filtration pump in "forced mode" until the water of the pool reaches the desired bathing tem-
perature.
SETTINGS
Water flow setting:
•
To optimize the heating performance and achieve power savings, the flow of water travelling
through the HP should be adjusted.
•
The adjustment is done based on the reading of the adjustment pressure gauge. The adjustment is
done by opening or closing the adjustment valve of the bypass.
•
To increase the pressure on the front pressure gauge: reduce the amount of water passing through
the HP: open the bypass adjustment valve.
•
To reduce the pressure on the front pressure gauge: increase the amount of water passing through
the HP: close the bypass adjustment valve.
•
During normal operations, the inlet and outlet valves must remain fully open.
Normal pressure:
•
The flow of water through the HP and the fluid pressure in the device are intimately linked.
•
The flow value given for information purposes is of 5 to 7m³/h, i.e. approximately 100l/min to reach
the maximum heating power of the HP.
•
The ideal setting is achieved when the hand of the pressure gauge (for heating operations in MAX
mode) indicates a temperature in °C greater by 10 to 15°C than the current temperature of the
swimming pool.
•
Remember, the HP must operate for a few minutes before the pressure stabilizes on the pressure
gauge.
•
Example: the swimming pool water is 20°C, the HP has been operating for 5 minutes, and the hand
of the pressure gauge indicates 20 bars / 280 PSI / 32°C / 90°F. -> 32°C – 20°C = 12°C -> the set-
ting is right (between 10 and 15°C).
Abnormal pressure:
•
If the pressure at the pressure gauge is too high or too low, that means that the flow of water
through the HP is inadequate.
•
Action must therefore be taken by opening or closing progressively the bypass adjustment valve, to
get the pressure in the recommended range.
•
When stopped, the temperature reading should be close to the temperature of the swimming pool
water.
•
If the hand shows 0, the device should not be used (contact your distributor).
Setting frequency:
•
The flow through the HP depends much on water temperature, and to a lesser extent, on air tem-
