It features a powerful 3000 W, 230 V heating element and a high-performance circulation pump. The unit includes a return water temperature control system to maintain optimal water temperature.
Key Features:
- 3000 W, 230 V heating capacity.
- Suitable for ring cables up to 200 meters.
- High-performance circulation pump (230 V, 93 W).
- Integrated return water temperature control.
- 3/4" water connections.
- Compact dimensions: 60 x 38.5 x 22 cm.
Safety Instructions
Always adhere to local electrical and plumbing codes. Installation and maintenance should only be performed by qualified personnel. Disconnect power before any service or maintenance. Ensure proper grounding. Do not operate the unit if it is damaged.
Setup and Installation
The unit is designed for integration into existing water circulation systems, typically in livestock stables for cattle. Ensure the installation location is protected from direct weather exposure and is easily accessible for maintenance.
Installation Steps:
- Mounting: Securely mount the unit on a stable, vertical surface using appropriate fasteners. The unit dimensions are 60 x 38.5 x 22 cm.
- Water Connections: Connect the unit to your insulated ring cable system using the 3/4" water connections. Ensure all connections are watertight. The unit includes a bleed valve, pressure relief valve, and non-return valve for proper system integration.
- Electrical Connection: Connect the unit to a 230 V power supply. Ensure the circuit is adequately protected and grounded. The unit requires a 3000 W power supply.
- Filling the System: After plumbing connections are complete, slowly fill the water circulation system, ensuring all air is purged through the bleed valve.
- Initial Check: Before powering on, double-check all connections (water and electrical) for security and correctness.

Operating Instructions
Once installed and filled, the unit is ready for operation. The integrated return water temperature control system automatically manages the heating to prevent freezing.
Starting the Unit:
- Power On: Turn the main power switch on the unit to the 'ON' position.
- Temperature Setting: Adjust the desired return water temperature using the control dial. The unit will automatically activate the heating element and circulation pump to maintain this temperature.
- Monitoring: Periodically check the system to ensure proper water flow and temperature maintenance, especially during cold periods.
Stopping the Unit:
To stop the unit, simply turn the main power switch to the 'OFF' position. For extended periods of non-use, it is recommended to drain the system to prevent stagnation or potential damage from extreme temperatures if the unit is not operating.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficient operation of your Suevia Warm Water Circulation Unit.
Routine Checks:
- Visual Inspection: Regularly inspect the unit for any signs of leaks, corrosion, or damage to electrical components and wiring.
- Water Quality: Ensure the water circulating through the system is clean and free of debris that could clog the pump or heating element.
- Pump Operation: Listen for unusual noises from the circulation pump, which could indicate a blockage or wear.
- Bleed Valve: Periodically check and use the bleed valve to release any trapped air in the system.
Seasonal Maintenance:
- Before Winter: Ensure the system is fully operational and the temperature control is set correctly to prevent freezing.
- After Winter: Inspect the unit for any damage that might have occurred during cold weather operation. Clean any accumulated dust or debris from the unit's exterior.
For any complex maintenance or repairs, contact a qualified technician or Suevia customer support.
Troubleshooting
This section provides solutions to common issues you might encounter with your circulation unit.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Unit does not power on. | No power supply; tripped circuit breaker; faulty switch. | Check power connection and circuit breaker. Ensure the main switch is ON. If problem persists, consult an electrician. |
| Water is not heating. | Temperature setting too low; heating element malfunction; air in system. | Increase temperature setting. Bleed air from the system. If heating element is suspected, contact service. |
| Pump is noisy or not circulating. | Air in pump; blockage in pipes; pump malfunction. | Bleed air from the system. Check pipes for obstructions. If pump is faulty, professional service is required. |
| Water leakage. | Loose connections; damaged seals or pipes. | Tighten all water connections. Inspect seals and pipes for damage and replace if necessary. |
If you encounter a problem not listed here or if the suggested solutions do not resolve the issue, please contact Suevia customer support.
