Adjusting Water Pressure Switch

(estimating psi setting)

On some models of the Heat Siphon® a gas heater type water pressure sensing switch is used to detect flow rather than direct flow measurement. The switch prevents Heat Siphon® operation with no water flow. Adjustment is required when the vertical distance from the pool surface to the Heat Siphon® thermostat knob is more than a few feet above or below pool level .

To correct this condition, DISCONNECT ALL ELECTRICAL POWER. Remove the knob and cover to the control box and adjust the switch as follows:
