Setup and Installation

Plumbing Connection

The heater is fitted with 1.5" PVC fittings. You must use standard 1.5" Schedule 40 PVC pipe for all plumbing connections. Using smaller pipe sizes may result in insufficient water flow, which can affect heater performance and potentially cause damage.

• Connect the water inlet and outlet ports of the heater to your pool or spa's circulation system.
• Ensure that the circulation pump is installed before the heater and provides adequate flow (minimum 1HP recommended).
• Use appropriate PVC cement and primer for secure, leak-free connections.

Electrical Connection

IMPORTANT: Electrical installation must be performed by a licensed electrician. The heater operates on 220V and requires a dedicated 2P GFCI breaker.

• Ensure the main power supply to the installation area is turned off at the breaker.
• Connect the heater directly to a dedicated 2P GFCI breaker. Refer to the specifications section for the required breaker amperage and wire gauge (7AWG for 11KW model).
• The connection requires one ground wire and two live wires (L1 and L2) for 220V operation.
• Secure all wiring connections firmly within the heater's terminal block and the breaker panel.
• After wiring, close all covers and ensure they are properly sealed.

Automatic Heating Function

Once the desired temperature is set, the heater will automatically maintain it. It will pause heating when the water reaches the preset temperature and restart only if the water temperature drops below the set point. This intelligent control ensures consistent comfort and optimizes energy consumption.
