supply hose from the pool to the pump and no part of the hose from the pool
to the pump can be above the level of the water because this will trap air that
can prevent water from flowing to the pump.
There are several easy ways to clear trapped air. For example, by touching
the PUMP ON OFF button 3 or 4 times so the pump is off for about 5 to 10
seconds each time. The surge when the pump starts can often clear the
trapped air but it may take a few times if there is a lot of trapped air.
If you still do not have a good flow of water, with the pump running, undo the
levers on the snap hose fitting that connects the hose from the pump to the
bottom inlet on the iCool. There is no need to remove the fitting, just open the
levers and this will allow any trapped air to escape. As soon as you see water
coming out of fitting, quickly snap it back into position and lock it again.
YOU ONLY NEED TO BLEED THE SYSTEM ONCE FOR EACH SET UP
Once primed of air, the system will remain primed and water will normally
flow instantly each time you start the pump until the pool is emptied or the
iCool is moved.
NEVER OPERATE THE PUMP WITHOUT WATER
Water pumps can not operate for long periods without water because the
water provides the lubrication to the bearings. To prevent damage, your
iCool system will shut down the pump automatically if water is not flowing
properly for more than 2 minutes. If this happens a warning screen will
normally appear to explain to you how to correct the problem.
POOL SETUP ADVICE
Before you turn on your iCool system you must set up and fill the pool. iCool
portable inflatable pools and hard pools come with their own instructions
and are easy to set up. Just be sure that they are in the position you require
before you fill them with water as the weight of the water will make it
impossible to move them once they are filled.
VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT CHLORINE, SALT AND BROMIDE
All iCool Compact models are fitted with the latest chemical and salt
resistant Titanium Heat Exchanger tanks, however we highly recommend
that chlorine should only be used in very small doses to prevent skin and
eye irritation to pool users and to extend the life of metal parts such as the
circulating pump in your iCool. In cold water, Chlorine is very effective in
small doses of just 1.5 parts per million, (1.5 ml per litre).
For example an iCool inflatable pool needs only half a teacup full of chlorine
per daily session and only if the water is to be used again. If the water is to
be discarded after one session chlorine is not needed at all.
The use of salt serves no practical purpose in ice bath therapy and should be
avoided as salt is very corrosive.
Household first aid disinfectants such as Dettol or similar can be used instead
of chlorine, they are very effective for bacterial control and will not harm your
iCools components. 2 to 4 capfuls per day is usually enough. iCool also
produces a very effective anti bacterial solution especially formulated use
with for ice bath pools and equipment. Please see our website for details.

iCool Compact
Occasionally you may experience some difficulty getting the water to flow
correctly through your icool due to trapped air in the system or the hoses.
Please read these simple instructions to learn how to correct this.
THE PUMP
Water flow through your iCool is produced by a high quality long life
circulating pump.
Circulating type pumps can lift and move water reliably for many thousands
of hours, however, just like swimming pool and spa pumps, they do not
provide suction and are therefore not self priming. Self priming diaphram
type pumps are not as reliable over long periods and so are not suitable for
this type of operation.
The pump with your iCool can not begin to operate correctly unless it is fed
with a head of water from a pool where the level is above the pump and
any air tapped in the feeding hoses is removed. The water in the pool must
be above the pump before you start it. There must be no air trapped in the

SAFETY NOTICE
ON WATER FLOW
POWER SUPPLY VOLTAGE
iCools can only be used with the voltage marked on the machine, they are
not multi voltage. The voltage is marked next to the main power socket.
TO ENSURE SAFE OPERATION THE POWER OUTLET YOU USE MUST
HAVE A PROPER EARTH CONNECTION.
BUILT IN SAFETY SYSTEMS
Your iCool system has many safety features to protect against such things
as a loss of water flow, overheating of the system, or any chance of the user
receiving an electrical shock. If any such potentially dangerous thing should
occur, in most cases your iCool will shut itself down and a red warning
screen will appear to assist you to identify and correct the problem. In the
case of overheating, the main fan will continue to run for some time until the
temperature is safely back to normal. For the safety of users, any leakage of
even a small amount of electrical current will cause the system to Instantly
remove all electrical power. In the unlikely event that your system shuts itself
down for any of these reasons, you must identify and correct the problem
that has caused the safety systems to operate before allowing anyone to
use the system.
PLEASE TEST THE EARTH LEAKAGE SAFETY DEVICE REGULARLY
The main power switch is also part of the electrical safety circuit that can
prevents the possibility of electric shock. It is essential to test this safety
system each time you use the iCool to make certain it is operating correctly.
This is very easy to do and takes only a few seconds. Turn on the main
switch and then press the orange test button just above the switch. If the
safety system is working normally, pressing the test button will cause the
main power switch to shut off instantly. After a successful test, reset the
main switch to ON to begin normal operation. If pressing the test button fails
to instantly shut off the power switch.
DO NOT USE THE SYSTEM until you
contact iCool for advice. Failures of this system are very rare.
WARNING
Never use bromide or bromine based products, they are
extremely corrosive and can damage the metal parts
