START UP PROCEDURES
COMPRESSOR TIME DELAY
BE AWARE THERE IS A 5 TO 7 MINUTE TIME DE-
LAY BEFORE THE COMPRESSOR WILL START
ONCE THE UNIT IS TURNED ON OR WHENEVER
IT RESTARTS. All models.
TURN T-STAT ALL THE WAY DOWN
Make sure the thermostat dial is turned all the way to
the “LEFT” so the unit will not start until you are ready.
Then turn the circuit breaker on.
CLEAN FILTERING SYSTEM
Next, make sure that the pool filter is as clean as pos-
sible. A dirty filter will hamper the efficiency of the
unit and cause the unit to cycle on and off resulting in
damaging effects. Filters may look clean but can be
clogged with oils or minerals. Replacement is suggested
every year and a half for cartridge type filters. See manu-
facturers directions for proper filter cleaning methods.
Next clean the lint trap basket inside the circulation
pump. Then clean the skimmer leaf trap basket of all
debris. A clogged lint trap or skimmer basket will
restrict the water flow to the unit. Make sure there is
adequate water in the pool so that the skimmer does not
draw air. Never place any chemicals of any type, espe-
cially chlorine, in the skimmer.
ADVISE YOUR POOL SERVICE CO.
If you have a regular pool service on a weekly basis
make sure your owners manual available for them to
inspect. You may request that one be sent to them, by
calling the factory service department at (800) 831-7133.
Be sure that they are aware of the chemical balance and
chemical introduction rules, in this manual. The condi-
tions in this manual must be followed in accordance with
the warranty, if for any reason, the heater is improperly
installed and or operated, the manufacturers warranty
may be void.
If you are unfamiliar with your pool filtering system,
you should consult your local pool company. The dia-
gram shown above are not of any specific brand but are
common in nature. The following diagram is of a typi-
cal filtering system.
WATER FLOW & EXISTING WATER PUMP
To filter the pool water each day, the water pump will
come on & off according to the existing timer device.
The heater will only heat if there is water running through
it.

WATER PRESSURE SWITCH
If there is proper water flow through the unit
the water pressure switch will close allowing
the unit to run. When the circulation pump
timer stops the water flow, the water pressure
switch will shut the unit down. When the pump
restarts for the next day, the pressure switch
will close and allow the heater to run.
