d) Pump down refrigerant system, if possible.
e) If a vacuum is not possible, make a manifold so that refrigerant can be removed from various parts of the system.
f ) Make sure that cylinder is situated on the scales before recovery takes place.
g) Start the recovery machine and operate in accordance with manufacturer's instructions.
h) Do not overfill cylinders. (No more than 80 % volume liquid charge).
i ) Do not exceed the maximum working pressure of the cylinder, even temporarily.
j ) When the cylinders have been filled correctly and the process completed, make sure that the cylinders and the equipment
are removed from site promptly and all isolation valves on the equipment are closed off.
k) Recovered refrigerant shall not be charged into another refrigeration system unless it has been cleaned and checked.
Labelling
Equipment shall be labelled stating that it has been de-commissioned and emptied of refrigerant. The label shall be dated and
signed. Ensure that there are labels on the equipment stating the equipment contains flammable refrigerant.
Recovery
When removing refrigerant from a system, either for servicing or decommissioning, it is recommended good practice that all
refrigerants are removed safely.
When transferring refrigerant into cylinders, ensure that only appropriate refrigerant recovery cylinders are employed.
Ensure that the correct number of cylinders for holding the total system charge are available. All cylinders to be used are
designated for the recovered refrigerant and labelled for that refrigerant (i.e. special cylinders for the recovery of refrigerant).
Cylinders shall be complete with pressure relief valve and associated shut-off valves in good working order. Empty recovery
cylinders are evacuated and, if possible, cooled before recovery occurs.
The recovery equipment shall be in good working order with a set of instructions concerning the equipment that is at hand and
shall be suitable for the recovery of flammable refrigerants.
In addition, a set of calibrated weighing scales shall be available and in good working order.
Hoses shall be complete with leak-free disconnect couplings and in good condition. Before using the recovery machine, check
that it is in satisfactory working order, has been properly maintained and that any associated electrical components are sealed
to prevent ignition in the event of a refrigerant release. Consult manufacturer if in doubt.
The recovered refrigerant shall be returned to the refrigerant supplier in the correct recovery cylinder, and the relevant Waste
Transfer Note arranged. Do not mix refrigerants in recovery units and especially not in cylinders.
If compressors or compressor oils are to be removed, ensure that they have been evacuated to an acceptable level to make
certain that flammable refrigerant does not remain within the lubricant. The evacuation process shall be carried out prior to
returning the compressor to the suppliers. Only electric heating to the compressor body shall be employed to accelerate this
process. When oil is drained from a system, it shall be carried out safely.
DISPOSAL
Electrical products should not be disposed of with household waste. Please recycle where facilities exist. Check with
your local authority or retailer for recycling advice.
The Pool Heater contains refrigerant. As it is a harmful substance, the refrigerant must be disposed of properly at a collection
point approved for this purpose.
SETUP
CHECK LIST
To check the parts included in the box, consult the parts list in this manual. Verify that the equipment components represent
the model that you had intended to purchase. In case of any damaged or missing parts at the time of purchase, visit our

CHOOSE THE CORRECT LOCATION
The Pool Heater will work properly in any location under the following conditions:
- The Pool Heater must be located 2m away from the pool and 1m away from any objects.
- Always hold the Pool Heater upright. If the device has been held in a different position, to stabilize the liquid gas inside the
system, wait at least 24 hours before starting to use it.
- Never install the unit closed to shrubbery that could block the air inlet. Such locations impair the continuous supply of fresh
air, resulting in reduced efficiency and possibly preventing sufficient heat output.
- The Pool Heater has a fan to expel cold air. Make sure to position the Pool Heater so that the cold air will not go in the
direction of the pool.
- Place the Pool Heater near a drain point. The air drawn into the Pool Heater is strongly cooled by the operation for heating
the pool water, which may cause condensation on the evaporator.
The amount of condensation may be as much as several liters per hour at high relative humidity. This is sometimes mistakenly
regarded as a water leak.
