Sunleaves Aquachill 132 User manual

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

WARNING - To guard against injury, basic

safety precautions should be observed, includ-

ing the following: READ AND FOLLOW ALL

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.

• DANGER - To avoid possible electric shock, special

care should be taken since water is employed in the

use of water coolers. For each of the following situa-

tions, do not attempt repairs by yourself. Return the

unit to your retailer or discard the unit.

• If the unit falls into the water, or water drips onto

the unit, DON’T reach for it! First unplug it and then

retrieve it. If electrical components of the unit get

wet, unplug the unit immediately.

• Always unplug unit from an outlet when not in

use, before putting on or taking off parts, and

before cleaning. Never yank cord to pull plug

from outlet. Grasp the plug fully and pull out

to disconnect.

• Carefully examine the unit after replacement. It

should not be plugged in if there is water on parts

not intended to be wet.

• Do not operate any unit if it has a damaged cord

or plug, or if it is malfunctioning or has been

dropped or damaged in any manner.

• Do not use the AquaChill for anything other then

its intended use. The use of attachments not recom-

mended or sold by Sunleaves may cause unsafe

conditions.

• Exposing the chiller/power cords to water may

cause electrical short and fire.

• Do not allow water or salt to come in contact with

thermostat or power cords.

• Do not operate AquaChill without water flow to

the unit. This may cause the evaporator housing to

freeze up and result in damage to the unit.

GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER PROTECTION

To comply with the National Electrical Code

(NFPA 70), and to provide additional protection from

the risk of shock, this unit MUST be connected to a

ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlet at all

times. Do not use extension cords. WARNING – To

reduce the risk of electrocution, keep all connections

dry and off the ground. Do not touch plug with

wet hands!

INSTALLATION

1. Before removing your AquaChill water cooler

from the box, please note any exterior shipping

damage to the box. It is strongly recommended to

keep the box and packaging material in the

unlikely event there is shipping damage or service

is required.

2. Remove the unit from the box and inspect

thoroughly for any signs of damage, even if the

box does not show damage. If you notice any

damage (cracked or bent cover, damaged

condenser, fins, etc...) please stop and contact your

dealer immediately.

3. Make sure the unit is placed on a firm, level sur-

face in a location that has plenty of ventilation. Do

not use an extension cord.

The requirements for ventilation are:

a) Back/Front: Condenser (radiator) requires at least

18” clearance to allow air into the unit.

b) Sides: Requires at least 6” clearance to allow for

proper air flow.

c) Unit must not be placed in a closed closet or cabi-

net. If placing AquaChill under a cabinet, the cabinet

MUST have a back opening at least 30" wide x 30"

high for adequate ventilation.

d) The warm air from the unit must be completely

evacuated from the area. A fan may be necessary to

draw warm air away from the unit. The maximum

operating temperature is 95ºF.

(See above chart for Part Names)

4. Insert desired hose connector into

compression cap.

5. Place barb fitting onto inlet or outlet and tighten

compression cap. Ensure that the gasket fits snug

between the barb fitting and AquaChill.

6. Slide hose clamp over each piece of hose. Attach

one hose to inlet, secure with hose clamp, and route

the other end to your submersible pump. Attach the

other hose to outlet, secure with clamp, and route to

your reservoir.

7. Before turning on unit, ensure the following:

a) Make sure there is adequate water flow for

proper operation.

AquaChill Model Recommended Sunleaves pump

132 SDH220 or larger ( > 235 GPH)

264 SDH240 or larger ( > 475 GPH)

317 SDH240 or larger ( > 525 GPH)

b) After placing submersible pump into reservoir,

make sure the pump will operate normally without

any blockage.

c) Make sure the AquaChill is plugged into a GFCI

protected 110V power outlet.

8. Turn on water pump and check for leaks.

IMPORTANT: Do not run AquaChill without water

flow. Doing so may damage evaporator.

9. Set the temperature controller to the desired

temperature as instructed below.

Note: It is recommended that the submersible pump

being used with the AquaChill should be as far

away as possible from any other pumps running

inside your reservoir.

Setting Desired Temperature

Temperature Controller - AquaChill water coolers are

equipped with an electronic temperature controller

designed to provide precise control of cooling. Its

easy-to-read display shows a readout of actual

temperature, control settings, relay status and

system diagnostics. The simple keypad allows

programming of set point temperature and

temperature differential.

Displaying current temperature and previous setting:

1. Press the SET button. The indicator light will

appear and the display will automatically show the

previous set temperature.

2. Press the SET button again, the indicator light will

turn off and the current water temperature will be

displayed.

Changing the temperature setting:

1. Press the SET button for three (3) seconds. The

previous set temperature will be displayed.

2. Press up "+" button to increase temperature or

press down "–" button to decrease temperature. The

3. Confirm set temperature by pressing SET button

again or waiting for 8 seconds. The current tempera-

ture will then be displayed when unit begins to

operate in normal mode.

Please Note: AquaChill water coolers have a built-in

protection mode that can delay the cooling mode

operation for up to three (3) minutes.

Temperature differential (amount temperature of

water can very from set temp):

The temperature differential is automatically set to

two (2) degrees F as a default.

To change differential:

1. Press and hold the “Set” button for 10 seconds –

“CA” will appear on the display.

2. Press up "+" button to increase temperature

differential or press down "–" button to decrease

temperature differential.
