SECTION 3 -- INSTALLATION
Unpacking
Your unit has been packaged to avoid shipping damage. However, the unit should be
fully inspected upon arrival before signing for receipt. If the package has visual
damage, notes should be made on the freight bill and signed by the delivery company.
In the event of concealed damage after the unit is uncrated, keep the carton and
packaging material. Call the shipping company within 7 days of receipt, request
inspection & retain a copy of the inspection report.
Choosing a Location
To ensure proper operation, the unit must be located on a firm level surface. The unit
should be located in an area where there is no direct airflow from heating and cooling
ducts and out of direct sunlight. Allow four inches of clearance on the top and back of
unit for airflow. Do NOT cover up the air vent holes. Verify proper electrical power is
available.
External Circulation
To use the external circulation, connect inlet and outlet quick-disconnect fittings to
circulator. Be sure external loop is sealed & able to withstand 10 psig. Insert the male
quick disconnects into the female quick disconnects. When quick disconnects are in
place and the unit on, the external circulation pump will function and pump liquid at the
OUTLET connection.
Selecting a Fluid
Water is recommended for applications requiring temperatures above 10ºC. Add 5 mL
of bleach or algaecide to circulator before starting. A solution of antifreeze (propylene
glycol) and water are recommended for temperatures below 10ºC. Follow the
directions on the antifreeze container for the proper mix.
