4. Setup
4.1 Placement
Place the unit on a stable, level surface outdoors, ensuring adequate airflow around all sides. Avoid enclosed spaces or areas with poor ventilation. Maintain sufficient clearance from walls and other obstructions.
4.2 Electrical Connection
The unit requires a 220-240V AC power supply. Electrical installation must be performed by a licensed electrician to ensure compliance with all safety standards and local codes. Ensure proper grounding.
4.3 Plumbing Connection
Connect the pool's filtration system to the heater's inlet and outlet ports. The water flow direction is critical for proper operation. Use appropriate pipe joint diameters (1.57" / 50mm) and ensure all connections are secure and leak-free. The unit should be installed after the pool filter and before any chlorinator or chemical feeder.
