Important Before installing this device, please read the instructions very carefully.
PROFIHEATERS FOR HEATING POND WATER OF FISH SYSTEMS.
These heating elements are available in the following models:
• ProfiHeater 1kW (860 kcal/h) pond capacity: 5.000 L
• ProfiHeater 2kW (1720 kcal/h) pond capacity: 10.000 L
• ProfiHeater 3kW (2580 kcal/h) pond capacity: 15.000 L
DIRECTIONS
To raise the temperature of 1 m3 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.
