OPERATIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS
The information in this section is written primarily for the Home Owner, but may also apply to servicing
dealers or HVAC service centers. This section contains information concerning planned maintenance,
proper water flow, maintaining proper clearances, as well as other vital information. Please read this
section now, and before calling AquaCal Customer Support (727-823-5642).
Heat pumps should be inspected and maintained on an annual basis by a qualified swimming pool
heat pump specialist. Additionally, if the heat pump is located near the beach or coastal area, where
salt spray and sand can become detrimental factors, more frequent service may be necessary. For
service plan information, please see: Planned Maintenance Program, later in this section, and then
contact AquaCal Customer Support at: 727-823-5642.
While annual maintenance is recommended to maintain your warranty, if you choose not to participate
in the Planned Maintenance Program, rinsing the air coil regularly, and keeping the base of the unit
clear of leaves and debris is a necessity.
Should you as the owner desire to perform the coil rinsing and other cosmetic care of the heat pump,
please contact AquaCal Customer Support: 1-727-823-5642; request the document titled: "Appearance
Care for Air-Source Heat Pumps: Approved Method for Home Owners."
