This document is an installation manual for the Treesse Shadow minipool. It provides comprehensive instructions for installation, first run, and maintenance, along with safety guidelines and troubleshooting information.

Function Description:

The Treesse Shadow minipool is a spa or hot tub designed for both indoor and outdoor installation. Its primary function is to provide a relaxing bathing experience, likely featuring water jets for hydromassage and potentially chromotherapy (color therapy) as indicated by the presence of a "Chromotherapy control unit" in the components list. The minipool requires an electrical connection for operation and can be optionally connected to an external exchanger for heating domestic water or an external "SPA PACK" for additional functionalities. It includes a control panel for managing its various features, such as pump speed, heating, and filtration.

Important Technical Specifications:

While specific detailed technical specifications like power consumption or dimensions are not explicitly listed in the provided pages, the manual highlights several important technical considerations:

Electrical Connection: Requires a fixed and permanent electrical connection (single-phase 230V) with three wires of H05 type, adequately sized for the minipool's absorbed current. It must comply with local regulations, have a functioning ground, be protected against splashing water, and controlled by a multi-pole switch (at least 3 mm contact gap, 60A breaking capacity) and a differential switch (no larger than 30mA).
Water Supply: Optimal water supply characteristics include:
- Hardness (TH): 7°f to 14°F (200 to 400 mg/l ppm).
- Total Alkalinity (TA): 80 to 125 mg/l (8-12.5°F).
- pH: 7.4 to 7.8.
- Minimum inlet pressure: 150,000 Pa (1.5 bar) or 300,000 Pa (3 bar).
- Water must be suitable for human consumption (drinkable).
Installation Requirements:
- A reinforced concrete platform or recess (minimum 10 cm thick), perfectly flat, capable of supporting the minipool's weight and occupants.
- Ø15 cm vents for technical compartment ventilation.
- Drainage grating around the perimeter.
- Non-slip flooring in the surrounding area.
- For recessed installations, a technical inspection port (at least 50 cm wide) on all sides, or a removable inspection hatch on the component side.
- Outdoor recessed versions require insulated walls for cold protection.
Temperature Limits: The minipool should not be left empty in direct sunlight, as surface temperatures can exceed 80°C (176°F), leading to damage and cavitation. The system also has a "Water too hot" alarm (M029) if water temperature exceeds 43.3°C (110°F), disabling functions until it drops below 42.2°C (108°F).

Usage Features:

Control Panel: The minipool is operated via a control panel, which displays information and allows users to manage functions.
Priming Mode: An automatic 4-5 minute procedure upon startup to ensure proper water flow and eliminate air from the system. Heating is deactivated during this time. Users can manually exit priming mode.
Pump Activation: The "Jet" button activates the pump at low speed with one press and increases speed with a second press. A recirculation pump (if present) can be activated by pressing the "Light" key during priming.
Temperature Control: The control panel allows setting and monitoring water temperature.
Safety Features: Includes frost protection (M027) which automatically activates pumps if freezing conditions are detected, and various alarms for issues like insufficient water flow (M016, M017), dry heater (M027, M028), overheating (M029, M030), suction pump blockage (M033), and sensor faults (M015, M026, M031, M032).
Optional External Connections: Can be connected to an external exchanger for heating domestic water or an external "SPA PACK" for extended functionalities.

Maintenance Features:

Filter Cleaning: The paper filter cartridge should be rinsed with clean water every 2-3 weeks to remove debris. It should be immersed in a cleaning solution or replaced at each water change. Filters must be completely dry before re-mounting.
Emptying the Minipool: Water can be drained at any time by pulling a knob, unscrewing a cap, and loosening a check valve. It is advisable to empty the minipool during maintenance and at the end of the season. Before emptying after a shock treatment, disinfectant and additive values should be at normal levels.
Covering: A fixed or mobile cover is recommended, especially for outdoor installations, to protect surfaces from sunlight, keep water hot, and prevent debris from falling in. Lashing straps may be useful for outdoor installations to prevent the cover from being blown off by wind.
Troubleshooting: The manual provides a detailed list of alarms and general messages displayed on the control panel, along with their descriptions and possible solutions. Users are advised to contact technical service if solutions cannot be implemented or problems persist.
