The heat pump may develop a fine layer of white frost on the outside coil before entering the defrost mode. This
l
is normal.
If heavy ice (not frost) starts to build up, shut off the heat pump. Contact the installer or manufacturer.

If the ambient air temperature will be falling below 32° F for more than 8 hours, winterize equipment.

Water Coming From Heat Pump
The water may be normal condensation produced as a by-product of the heat pump's refrigeration process.
The heat pump can produce 8 to 10 gallons of condensation per day depending on the humidity of the
ambient air. Determine if the water is condensation or a possible leak.
1. Deactivate heat pump, leaving the filter pump on. After several hours, determine if water is still coming from
the heat pump.
2. If using chlorine or bromine as a pool / spa sanitizer, test the water around the heat pump using a test strip. If
the test strip indicates that chlorine or bromine is present, a leak may exist.
PLEASE NOTE -
If desired, a kit is available to re-direct condensation water away from the heat pump.
See "Condensation Drain Kit (# STK0202)" on page 22.
