Pentair XLS600, XLS800 Turn T-STAT ALL the WAY Down, Compressor Time Delay, Water Pressure Switch

START UP PROCEDURES

TURN T-STAT ALL THE WAY DOWN

Make sure the thermostat dial is turned all the way to the “LEFT” so the unit will not start until you are ready. Then turn the circuit breaker on.

COMPRESSOR TIME DELAY

BE AWARE THERE IS A 5 TO 7 MINUTE TIME DE- LAY BEFORE THE COMPRESSOR WILL START ONCE THE UNIT IS TURNED ON OR WHENEVER IT RESTARTS. All models.

WATER FLOW & EXISTING WATER PUMP

To filter the pool water each day, the water pump will come on & off according to the existing timer device. The heater will only heat if there is water running through it.

ADVISE YOUR POOL SERVICE CO.

If you have a regular pool service on a weekly basis make sure your owners manual available for them to inspect. You may request that one be sent to them, by calling the factory service department at (941) 768-1555. Be sure that they are aware of the chemical balance and chemical introduction rules, in this manual. The condi- tions in this manual must be followed in accordance with the warranty, if for any reason, the heater is improperly installed and or operated, the manufacturers warranty may be void.

CLEAN FILTERING SYSTEM

Next, make sure that the pool filter is as clean as pos- sible. A dirty filter will hamper the efficiency of the unit and cause the unit to cycle on and off resulting in damaging effects. Filters may look clean but can be clogged with oils or minerals. Replacement is suggested every year and a half for cartridge type filters. See manu- facturers directions for proper filter cleaning methods.

Next clean the lint trap basket inside the circulation pump. Then clean the skimmer leaf trap basket of all debris. A clogged lint trap or skimmer basket will restrict the water flow to the unit. Make sure there is adequate water in the pool so that the skimmer does not draw air. Never place any chemicals of any type, espe- cially chlorine, in the skimmer.

If you are unfamiliar with your pool filtering system,
you should consult your local pool company. The dia-
gram shown above are not of any specific brand but are
common in nature. The following diagram is of a typi-
cal filtering system.	8

WATER PRESSURE SWITCH

If there is proper water flow through the unit the water pressure switch will close allowing the unit to run. When the circulation pump timer stops the water flow, the water pressure switch will shut the unit down. When the pump restarts for the next day, the pressure switch will close and allow the heater to run.
