Positioning (continued)
Your heater should be horizontally or vertically sited allowing sucient
space for pipe connections and wiring, it should be screw xed securely to
a rm base or wall.
The heater should be installed at a low point in the ltration system.
It must be positioned downstream of (after) the lter and upstream of
(before) any dosing or other water treatment plant. (see Fig.2)
Pipe Work
It is essential that the pipe work connecting to and from the heater
has a minimum bore (internal diameter) of 1¼” (32mm).
To assist correct air purging and to ensure the heater remains completely
full of water during operation, the return pipe which carries the water back
to the pond must incorporate a safety loop or ‘kick-up’ in the pipe as close
as possible to the heater (see g 3).
NOTE: When coupling to a exible pipe a safety loop can simply be
created by routing the pipe up and over an obstacle. Remember to
use pipe clips to securely fasten all hose connections.
ENGLISH
Weather Protection
The heater must be installed within a dry weather proof enclosure.
CAUTION! If the heater is not used during winter months it must be drained to
prevent frost damage.
Electrical Connection
The heater has been supplied pre-wired with a power lead. Sizes 1-kW
to 3-kW also have a plug; 4-kW models must be installed by a qualied
electrician.

requirements and regulations. In any event the work must be carried out
by a qualied electrician, who will provide a certicate of conformity upon
completion of the work.
It is essential that the power supply to the heater is protected by a
30mA RCD (Residual Current Device). If in doubt consult a qualied
Electrician.
Power Requirements

Flow Requirements
The ow rate of water into the heater must not exceed 17,000 litres per
hour (17m/h / 3,740 UK gallons/hour) A higher ow rate will require the
installation of a bypass to prevent damage to the heater elements. The
heater will not operate with a ow rate below 1,000 litres / hour (1m/h or
220 UK gallons/hour)
Water Quality
The water quality must be within the following limits:
PH 6.8 - 8.0 TA (Total alkalinity) 80—140ppm (parts per million)
TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) / Calcium hardness 200 - 1,000ppm
The Cygnet Aquatic heaters are suitable for use with salt water ponds with
a salt concentration up to 8000ppm (8g/litre).
Water chemistry is complicated if in doubt seek expert advise.

Operating Instructions
Upon completion of the installation, run the water-circulating pump to
purge the system and heater of air (i.e. remove any trapped air in the
system and heater). TIP: You can encourage air out of the heater ow tube
by gently elevating the exit port of the heater when the pump is running.
The heater will only switch ‘On’ (red light indicator illuminated) when the
following criteria are met ie:
· Water circulating pump is ‘On’ delivering in excess of 1,000 litres /
hour (1m/h or 220 UK gallons/hour)
· Required temperature is set to a higher value than the water
temperature.
Useful advice: To reduce running costs and speed up the heating process,
insulate the pond wherever possible.
Quick Function Test
Observe the main electricity meter when the heater is on (ie: red light ‘On’)
and then observe it again when the red light is o. The test should show
that the meter is recording more electricity being used by the heater when
the red light is ‘On’.
ENGLISH
It is impossible for an electric heater to waste energy, if it is
drawing power then that power will be turned into heat that will be
transferred to the water.
Accurate Function Test
If a more accurate test is required to conrm that your heater is delivering
the specied heat output, two electricity meter readings will need to be
taken from the properties main electricity meter, with an exact one hour
interval (ie: take one meter reading and then a second reading exactly one
hour later) then by subtracting the rst reading from the second
reading the number of units (kilowatts / kW) consumed can be calculated.
www.elecro.co.uk

ENGLISH
Note that your heater is also rated in kW hours. The pond pump and heater
will need to be running continuously during the test (ie: with the heater
red light ’On’) To avoid inaccurate results when performing this test, it is
important to refrain from using other high current consuming appliances
in the property (such as tumble dryer, showers, cookers etc).
A large aquatic pump of 1 horsepower will draw less than 1-kW in a one
hour period. The conclusion of the test should prove that for example
a 3-kW heater and a ½ horsepower pump will draw between 3.3-kW ~
3.5-kW in one hour. It is impossible for an electric heater to waste energy,
if it is drawing power then that power will be turned into heat that will be
transferred to the water.
Trouble Shooting
HEATER WILL NOT SWITCH ‘ON’
In most cases this will be the result of one of the following points not
being met.
Possible cause 1: The required temperature has been achieved.
To conrm: increase the set point value by turning the temperature set
point dial to a value greater than the current water temperature.
Possible cause 2: The ‘Thermal safety cut-out’ has tripped.
Remedy: Remove button cover and press red button to re-set (see g 4)
If a positive click is felt, the cause of the tripping must be investigated and
could be caused by a debris build-up or air pocket trapped inside the ow
tube of the heater.

Fig 4.
Possible cause 3: Insucient ow.
If using a cartridge lter: Conrm this by running the system with the
cartridge removed from your pump and lter unit, this will supply the
heater with the maximum ow rate your unit is capable of. If the heater
then switches ’On’ (ie: red light ’On’) a blocked cartridge can be conrmed
to be the cause. The cartridge should be cleaned or replaced.
If using a sand lter: Check the pressure indicator on your sand lter and
back wash if necessary.
Note: In some cases the ‘Thermal safety cut-out’ tripping and a low
ow rate can be linked ie: when a lter becomes choked air can be
drawn into the ltration system and become trapped inside the
heater, so causing the thermal cut-out to trip.
General Trouble Shooting
THE FLOW TUBE DOES NOT FEEL WARM
Due to the high eciency of your electric heater no warmth should be
detectable from the ow tube of the heater.
The most likely causes of the ow tube feeling warm are:-
ENGLISH
Possible cause 1: The heater has been positioned in direct sunlight.
Possible cause 2: An air pocket is trapped inside the heater particularly if the
ow tube feels warmer at the highest point (as air rises).
THE WATER ENTERING MY POND DOES NOT FEEL MUCH WARMER
The temperature gain of the water after it has passed through the heater
will be directly proportional to the volume of water being pumped in
relationship to the power output of the heater.
For example: A 6-kW heater, when connected to a 4,000 litre / hour
(4m/h) pump, will produce a lift in temperature of approximately 1.2°C
(almost undetectable to the human hand) however, as the water being
heated is re-circulated from a single body of water, the time required to
heat it remains unaected by the volume of ow. A popular misconception
is that slowing down the ow rate will speed up the heating process.

Ubicación (continuación)
El calentador debería colocarse en posición horizontal o vertical, dejando
ESPAŇOL
suciente espacio para las conexiones de las tuberías y el cableado.
Además, debería atornillarse bien a una base sólida o a una pared.
El calentador debería instalarse en un punto bajo del sistema de ltrado y
colocarse (en el sentido del uir del agua) en una posición posterior al ltro
y anterior a cualquier sistema de dosicación u otro sistema de tratamiento
del agua (véase Fig.2)
Tuberías
Es fundamental que el diámetro interno de las tuberías que transportan el
agua hacia y desde el calentador sea de 1¼” (32mm) como mínimo.
Para contribuir a que la purga del aire se realice correctamente y garantizar
que el calentador esté constantemente lleno de agua mientras esté en
marcha, la tubería de retorno que lleva el agua de vuelta al estanque debe
disponer de una curva de seguridad o un eyector lo más cerca posible del
calentador (véase Fig. 3).
NOTA: Si el calentador se conecta a una tubería exible, la curva de
seguridad puede crearse simplemente haciendo que la tubería pase
por encima de un obstáculo. Acuérdese de utilizar abrazaderas para
jar bien todas las conexiones de las tuberías.
Protección contra la intemperie
El calentador debe instalarse dentro de un espacio cerrado, seco y
resistente a los elementos.
ATENCIÓN: Si el calentador no se utiliza durante los meses de invierno, el
agua del interior del mismo debe drenarse para evitar daños causados por las
heladas.
