General Information

The HS115 is an Automatic Metering System for the application of Heatsavr™,
the original liquid solar pool cover. It is a reliable, accurate, inexpensive way to
ensure that your pool receives all the energy savings possible from using
Heatsavr™.

Calculation Example

The HS115 is a time-activated, water-resistant peristaltic pump. Up to 24
events may be programmed with variable run times for each event from 1
second to 20 minutes. The HS115 operates a 7-day clock in which events can
be programmed to occur every day or only on particular days throughout the
week. A back up battery keeps the clock running in the event of an
interruption in the electrical power. The Automatic Metering System is sold
complete with two peristaltic pump tubes and additional accessories included
(See Accessories). The HS115 is available for use with 115VAC, 230VAC or with
a D-cell battery pack.

The manufacturer recommended dosage rate for Heatsavr™ is 1 oz/400
square feet of pool surface area per day. And 1 oz/50 square feet of Hot Tub
and Spa surface area per day. The higher temperature in Hot Tubs require a
higher dosage rate. The dosage is daily as the product is biodegradable. Each
system can be programmable to exactly fit the surface area of your pool.
Calculate the surface area of your pool (Width x Length) and divide by 400
square feet (50 square feet in Hot Tubs). This will calculate the daily amount
of Heatsavr™ (in ounces) necessary for your specific swimming pool. For
example, a 1,200 sq ft swimming pool will require 3 ounces per day.

The best application time is in the evening, once the swimming pool is closed
to the public or when the swimming pool is experiencing less use.

Installation is very simple and the metering system is durable and easy to
maintain.

Installation

Before beginning, turn off the pools' circulation system and drain the isolated
area where you will be drilling and tapping a hole into the main return line.

Mounting:

The HS115 should be mounted so the LCD screen can be viewed easily. It
should be located close enough to both the injection point and liquid supply to
ensure unobstructed delivery. If possible, mount out of direct sunlight to
prevent UV damage.

1. Choose a place to mount the system near a power outlet and the pool
main return line.
