Initial Heat Siphon Startup

TURN ON YOUR POOL PUMP FIRST

CHECK FOR WATER LEAKS & FLOW THEN - Just Set It and FORGET IT!

Start up Procedure - After installation is completed, you should follow these steps:

START YOUR FILTER PUMP
CONFIRM WATER FLOW & CHECK FOR LEAKS then:

1. ANALOG MODELS: Turn the Heat Siphons Thermostat knob completely clockwise to "10".
2. Turn on the electrical power supply to the Heat Siphon. DIGITAL MODELS: After power is turned on, press the up or down arrow key until the display shows the "Heat Set" temperature ABOVE the "Pool" temperature.
3. It should start immediately. If it does not start you may need to ADJUST the WATER PRESSURE SWITCH
4. After running a few minutes make sure the air leaving the top of the Heat Siphon is cooler (Between 5-10 degrees F)
5. With Heat Siphon operating turn the filter pump off. The Heat Siphon should also turn off automatically, If not, readjustment of flow switch is required.
6. Restart the pump/filter, the Heat Siphon should start right up. If not readjustment of flow switch is required.
7. Allow the Heat Siphon and pool pump to run 24 hours per day until desired pool water temperature is reached.

ANALOG MODELS ONLY: At this point slowly turn the thermostat knob counterclockwise until the unit just shuts off and note the number on the dial Your Heat Siphon will now automatically restart (as long as your pool pump is running) when the pool temperature drops more than 1.5 degrees F below set temperature.

BOTH DIGITAL AND ANALOG MODELS: In other words "SET IT AND FORGET IT! "

NOTE- In order for Heat Siphon to heat the pool or spa, the filter pump must be running to circulate water through the heat exchanger.

Water Flow Switch

Heat Siphon is equipped with a flow switch that turns it on when the pool pump is running and shuts it off when the pump shuts off. This switch is the same type used in all gas pool heaters and is factory adjusted for normal pool installations. If the pool water level is more than a few feet above or below the thermostat knob of the Heat Siphon, your dealer may need to adjust it at initial startup.

Time Delay

Heat Siphon is equipped with a 5 minute built-in restart delay included to protect control circuit components and to eliminate restart cycling and contactor chatter.

This time delay will automatically restart the unit approximately 5 minutes after each control circuit interruption.

Even a brief power interruption will activate the 5 minute restart delay and prevent your Heat Siphon from starting until the 5 minute countdown is completed.

Power interruptions during the delay period will have no effect on the 5 minute countdown.
