Water Flow Rates

Maintain water flow rates as indicated. Please note, these specifications relate to the chiller only. Code-specified whole system turnover rates must be satisfied.

NOTICE

Failure to heed the following may result in damage to equipment.

 

  • Water flow exceeding maximum flow rates will negatively affect the total pool filtration performance and may damage the chiller. This will not be covered under equipment warranty.
MODEL HEAT EXCHANGER TYPE FLOW RATES
MINIMUM MAXIMUM
TC500 Titanium Tube-in-Tube 20 GPM 45 GPM
TC1000 Titanium ThermoLink® 30 GPM 70 GPM
TC1500 Titanium ThermoLink® 30 GPM 70 GPM

 

Please note -

If minimum flow rates are not met, chiller performance is reduced and performance will suffer. Internal safety devices may deactivate the chiller with the following errors:

  • HP and HP5
  • or (if equipped) error codes of LP and LP5
  • Operate water filtration devices per manufacturer's specifications. Dirty filters can cause a reduction of water flow to the chiller. An increase of 7-10 psi higher than the clean filter pressure typically reduces flow rates. This requires the filter to be cleaned or back-washed.
  • Keep baskets free of debris. A large quantity of debris in the pump and skimmer baskets can reduce water flow.
  • Check for improper valve settings. A partially closed valve after the filter, or a full-open bypass around the chiller, will cause insufficient water flow through the chiller.
  • The maximum static pressure (or operating pressure) is 50 pounds-per-square-inch (PSI). These specifications relate to the chiller only.
  • Code-specified whole system turnover rates must be satisfied.
