Manuale Uso MP NIWA - Code 10011873 - Edition 1 - 03/2008
Instructions for operation
English
Excessive water temperature
If the temperature of the water in the tub exceeds
44°C
, the mini-pool’s control system disables all the
user programmes.
This alarm condition is indicated to the user by
“
Ho
” displayed alternately with the temperature
of the water.
The maximum water temperature that can be
displayed is
49°C
.
The system resets the alarm condition when the
temperature of the water falls below 43°C.
Instructions for use and operation
General procedure
First start-up
• Remove the thermal cover of the
Mini-pool
.
• Check that the drain valve is closed.
• Check that all the whirlpool intakes are open.
• Fill the
Mini-pool
up to the level mark on the
skimmer.
• Loosen the fi lter breather cap to allow any excess
air to escape. A soft hiss will be heard.
When all the air has escaped, the hiss will cease.
Replace the cap.
• Vibrations during shipping of the appliance
may cause loosening of some of the hydraulic
connections. It is advisable to inspect all the
connections carefully after a few hours of
operation to check for leaks.
Attention:
We suggest having the water that you intend
to use to fi ll the
Mini-pool
analyzed, especially
concerning water
hardness
.
Water that is too soft or too hard may damage
some of the components of the Mini-pool
,
whereas impurities in well water may clog the
cartridge fi lters and create problems with the
pumps and the hydraulic system.
• Connect the main switches installed on the power
supply cable(s) (see “Electrical Connections and
Safety”).
• Test the safety cut-out switch installed upstream
of the electrical circuit to which the mini-pool is
connected by pressing the TEST button. If the
switch is not tripped, either the switch itself is
faulty or there may be a problem with the domestic
power circuit.
Disconnect the appliance from the power
supply and do not use it until the cause of the
problem has been identifi ed and eliminated.
• Check for leaks from the hydraulic circuit or other
problems.
• Disinfect the mini-pool completely by performing
the disinfection cycle (see “Water Treatment”).
This operation is recommended when installing, or
after a long period of not using the
Mini-pool
.
• Allow a few hours to pass, then disconnect the
main switches.
• Open the drain valve and completely empty the
Mini-pool
.
Important:
Do not use the mini-pool when operating it for
the fi rst time, because during the initial phase the
water contains a high concentration of chlorine
or bromide.
Drain the mini-pool and re-fi ll before using it
(see “Draining the mini-pool - Preparing for
winter”).
• Close the drain valve, replace the caps on the
pump drainage outlets (if these have been
removed), and fi ll the mini-pool with fresh water
to the level indicated on the skimmer.
• Switch on the main switches and check for proper
operation of the
Mini-pool
.
• Check and as necessary modify the water fi ltering
cycles based on how you intend to use the
Mini-
pool
.
• Enter the desired water temperature. Remember
that the time necessary to reach this temperature
depends on the initial temperature of the water,
the ambient temperature and the quantity of
water in the mini-pool. If the thermal cover
is placed over the mini-pool, the desired
temperature will be reached more quickly.
• Check the pH and if necessary add disinfectant
(see “
Water treatment
”).
Water treatment
The water must be “inviting”, that is, clear, limpid
and free from those substances that, accumulating,
can create a suitable environment for the growth
and spread of bacteria; for this reason, as well as
being fi ltered continuously, the water must be
chemically treated by using appropriate additives.
The suggestions shown here concern the general
aspects of water treatment only. For special
circumstances or problems, it is advisable to contact
a specialist operator.
