OnceyourSpa/Poolheaterhasbeeninstalledandyouarereadytobeginenjoyingityearround.
You MUST make sure your pump timer is disengaged to allow it to run until desired temperature
Settingisreached.
Your heater will ONLY heat your Spa/Pool when there is water running through it and ONLY when
yourSpa/Poolpumpisworking,ifyourSpa/PoolpumpisnotrunningyourSpa/Poolheaterwillnot
turnon.
Yourpoolheaterhasa3minutebuildinTIMEDELAYtoprotectitfromairinthelinesandelements
burn out, when the unit senses water flow it will automatically activate (GREEN LED will turn on).
When you initially start to heat your pool, you must run your pool pump without the timer. In order
to reach your initial desire pool temperature you will need to run the pool heater for the required
time.
