If your Intex pool uses 1.5" hoses with threaded nuts you may wish to buy 2 x Adapter B's (part 10722) and a piece of 1.5" hose (part 11010) which are available from John Adams in the UK to make a sealed connection. It is also possible to make the connection to the 1½" (38-mm) part of the hosetail using 2 jubilee clips & silicone sealant at each side of the heater. The heater requires only final connection to a mandatory separate RCD.
No pump interlock is required. All heaters come fitted with 1.5'' BSP female threaded adapters for connection to all pipework. The desired pool temperature can be easily set on the Vulcan heater using the panel-mounted thermostat dial in the case of the analogue model in respect of the digital model by using the touch buttons resulting in the temperatures being displayed on the LCD screen.
Over-temperature protection is provided by the thermal cut out (manual reset). How to Choose Your Heater - Step 1: First of all you will need to know the volume of the water in your pool. This information will be on our pool description page or in your pool owner’s manual.
Once you have this information view the chart below which indicates which pool heater would be necessary for the water capacity of your pool. - Volume when filled to 90% capacity (Litres)Elecro recommended heater size 1 Phase - Voltsup to 6000L2-kw230V6000 -9000L3-kw230V9000 - 13 000L4.5-kw230V13 000 - 18 000L6-kw230V18 000 - 27 000L9-kw230V27000 - 36 000L12-kw230V36 000 - 45 000L15-kw230VVolume when filled to 90% capacity (Litres)Elecro recommended heater size 3 Phase Volts13 000 - 18 000L6-kw230V / 3 Phase 400V18 000 - 27 000L9-kw230V / 3 Phase 400V27000 - 36 000L12-kw230V / 3 Phase 400V36 000 - 45 000L15-kw400V45 000 - 54 000L18-kw400VStep 2: Electricity can be provided via a single or 3 phase system. The single phase system is much more common.
However you can purchase a 3 phase system from your electricity supplier. You will need to check what amperage you have in your home. As you can see from the table below the differing heaters require different amperage.
