DIRECTIONS

To raise the temperature of 1 m

3 

water in 1 hour by 1°C needs about 1.000 kcal. This formula is only 

an indication, as the temperature also depends on surface area and any insulation that may be 
present. All models have been fitted with an adjustable thermostat that can be regulated up to 
40°C. The heating element with the temperature probe(B), as well as the inside of the casing have 
been manufactured out of high-quality stainless steel. ProfiHeaters can be connected using pond 
tubing (ø 25, 32 and 40 mm) of PVC tubing (ø 50 and 63 mm).

SAFETY

•  Always remove the plug from the socket when mounting, dismantling or servicing the heater.
•  Do not use the heater if any of the parts are damaged.
•  Switch the heater off when the water is not flowing. Ensure an adequate flow of water at all 

times. Insufficient flow can cause the element to overheat and burn out.  

Ensure that the apparatus never runs dry. For this reason, always ensure that the ProfiHeater is installed horizontally, with the 
inlet and outlet on top.

•  The requirements of the Electricity Company must be met when this heater is to be connected 

as a permanent feature. If in any doubt, please contact a licensed electrician or the Electricity 
Company.

MAINTENANCE

•  This heater must never be submerged under water. It must always be installed  

outside the pond or bowl.

•  The manufacturer must always do any needed repairs. The adjustable thermostat  

must never be opened. All guarantees expire once the thermostat has been opened.

•  The element may not be covered in lime scale or caked dirt.
•  Prevent air getting into the system. If a part of the element is not covered with water, this section 

can become overheated and cause the element to burn out.
