❷ Installa on
2.1 I Selec ng the loca on
• The appliance must be installed in a technical room ven lated, dry and without stored pool
treatment products.
• Install the appliance as close as possible to the hea ng source (boiler, heat pump, geothermal, solar-powered hea ng,
etc.),
• If the appliance cannot be installed beside the hea ng source:
- Provide for the dimensioning of the pipes and primary and secondary circuits in rela on to the water fl ow rate, the
losses of load and the distance, and insulate them thermally,
- Install a more powerful circula ng pump (contact us for its dimensions and supply),
• If the exchanger is away from the fi lter: the swimming pool circuit pipes must have a minimum dimension of Ø50 and
be placed in a protec ve sheath if they are run underground.
• The water treatment system must be installed a er the exchanger and at a low point to avoid chlorine being returned
to the exchanger,
• Leave at least 80 cm free space around the appliance to facilitate its installa on and maintenance,
• The pipes must not be supported by the exchanger.
• The appliance must be placed on a solid and level base which is raised off the ground in case of fl ooding or if the fl oor
is cleaned with a water spray.
2.2 I Hydraulic connec ons
• Respect the hydraulic connec on direc on (see the label on the appliance).
• Do not use quick closure valves to avoid water hammer.
• Correctly ghten the hydraulic connec ons and check for leaks.
• Check that the pipe system is cleaned before connec ng anything.

Tip: calorie exchange op misa on
• The water from the hea ng source must be at constant temperature.
• Respect the water fl ow direc on in the exchanger.
2.2.1 Hea ng system connec on (a.k.a. primary)
• The primary circuit's spur must be upstream of any valves or pumps.
- With insulated pipes,
- Fi ed with a safety valve (pressure limited to 3 bars) and a correctly-dimensioned expansion chamber,
- The pipes must have automa c drains at their high points.
2.2.2 Pool system connec on (a.k.a. secondary)
• 90° elbow fi ngs must not be installed directly at the exchanger outlet; leave at least 25 cm
of straight pipe to prevent cha er of the fl ow controller armature.
- In PVC pipes Ø50 minimum,
- compulsory via a by-pass.
