    DESIGN ADVANTAGES Internal Automatic Bypass Free Flow 2" Plumbing Automatically adjusts the water flow. Lowest water flow restriction available. Internal Automatic Bypass The heater must be electrically grounded and bonded in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the latest national electrical codes ANSI/NFPA No. 70. All wiring must comply with all local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the latest national electri- cal codes ANSI/NFPA No.

  • Page 6: Start Up Procedures

    DUAL THERMOSTAT CONTROL PANEL THERMOSTAT The thermostat dial is just like any other, when you set it at a certain setting the heater will heat up to that temperature and then shut off. When the pool/spa wa- ter temperature drops below this setting the heater will come on and start heating the water back up to the setting on the thermostat.
  • Page 7 L.E.D. STATUS LIGHT PANEL Control Ready "Green": The green control ready indicator light lets you know that the heater has power and it is ready to heat. This light must be on before the heater can run. If this light is off, check you power supply and circuit breakers.

  • Page 8: Start Up Procedures

    START UP PROCEDURES TURN T-STAT ALL THE WAY DOWN Make sure the thermostat dial is turned all the way to the “LEFT” so the unit will not start until you are ready. Then turn the circuit breaker on. COMPRESSOR TIME DELAY BE AWARE THERE IS A 5 TO 7 MINUTE TIME DE- LAY BEFORE THE COMPRESSOR WILL START ONCE THE UNIT IS TURNED ON OR WHENEVER...

  • Page 9: Operational Sequence

    THERMOSTAT CONTROL & SETTINGS Turning up the thermostat will start the unit running. When the pool water has been heated to the thermostat setting, the unit will shut off. When the pool water temperature loses one to two degrees, the thermostat will activate the unit. There are no temperature graduate num- bers printed on the thermostat face.
  • Page 10 TIME CLOCK SETTING Now that all the filters are clean and the pump is run- ning with a full prime, you will need to set the pool circulation pump timer. Set the filter pump time clock for a long enough period of time to heat the pool or spa. The heater will not operate unless there is water run- ning through the heat exchanger supplied by the circu- lation pump.

  • Page 11: Thermostat Setting

    THERMOSTAT SETTING There are no temperature reading numbers printed on the thermostat dial due to calibration changes from unit to unit. The demand for exact temperatures should be regulated by using a high quality thermometer right in the pool water. Normal temperatures for pools are 78 to 82 degrees F. Spa temperatures are 98 to a maximum of 104 degrees F.
  • Page 12 UNDERSTANDING HEAT LOSS It is important to understand how your pool loses heat. The greatest heat loss occurs at the water surface. You will need to adjust the operational time to compensate for added heat loss during the colder months. See the diagram on the next page.
  • Page 13 CONTROLLING HEAT LOSS A good way to control heat loss is to slow the wind speed through your pool area by placing plants such as shrubs or bushes around the pool's perimeter. Plants will break up the air flow and diffuse the wind speed. If the pool area is to be fenced in, choose a wood shadow box type design.
  • Page 14 OWNERS MAINTENANCE & CARE There are some considerations that should be taken concerning the environment where your heater is installed. The heater is usually placed near the pool filtering system. There are certain things in this area you will need to be aware of to insure long life and prevent unnecessary damage.

  • Page 15: Air Flow

    AIR FLOW Do not install the unit in an area where the cooler discharge air may accumulate and be drawn back into the unit. Provide ventilation through containment walls or fencing for the air intake if needed. Do not install this unit indoors or in filtering system equipment rooms.
  • Page 16 FILTER SYSTEM MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS WATER FLOW Proper water flow is critical to the heaters performance and longevity. The maintenance of your filtering sys- tem is directly related to the proper operation of the heat pump. See pages 8 for other information regarding filter cleaning and the start up procedures.

  • Page 17: Professional Service

    AUTOMATIC POOL VACUUMS Automatic pool cleaners will decrease the water flow by restricting the suction of the circulation pump. Most automatic type pool cleaners operate from the suction provided by the circulation pump. Some automatic pool vacuums are plugged into the skimmer suction port.

  • Page 18: Plumbing & Water Flow

    PLUMBING & WATER FLOW PLUMBING CONNECTIONS Filtered Water “IN” on the LEFT front. Heated Water "OUT" on the RIGHT front. The plumbing inlets are "slip" p.v.c. pipe that will accept a 2 inch p.v.c. glue fitting. The pipe is left plain so you can adapt to your needs.
  • Page 19 HIGH RATE WATER PUMPS EXCESSIVE FLOW BYPASS MANIFOLD FOR LARGE 2 H.P. PUMPS OR OVER 90 G.P.M. If the pool circulation pump is over 2 HP OR if the total flow exceeds 90 GPM you will have to add the "excessive flow valve"...
  • Page 20 WATER BALANCE MAINTENANCE The chemical balance of your pool/spa water and the methods used in adding pool chemicals will directly effect the life of your heater. Like no other precaution you could take, it is very important that these guidelines are followed in order to prevent damage to the heat exchanger/water coil and possibly the entire system.
  • Page 21 “how to” balance your pool/spa water, but just a refer- ence on how chemical balance effects the heater and gives suggested test values. You should always consult a pool professional and follow all chemical manufacturers di- rections, unless they conflict with this manual. CHLORINE Chlorine levels should remain within a range from 1...
  • Page 22 Total Alkalinity is a test given to determine the over- all mineral content of the water. Total alkalinity lev- els should be within the range from 90 p.p.m. to 120 p.p.m. The total alkalinity is described as a buffer against acetic conditions and acts as a stabilizer for the pH.

  • Page 23: Adding Chemicals

    1. All chlorinators should have a chemical resistant check valve and a loop plumbed at least 8 inches above the chlorinator, between it and the heater, as far down line from the heater as possible. 2. Never plumb a chlorinator into the suction side of the circulation pump.
  • Page 24 We strongly suggest that all chemical feeders be placed "down line" of the heater. In a "closely monitored" commercial pool situation where a vacuum type filter system is used in conjunction with a surge tank, there are some exceptions to chemical injection. Some liquid chlorine (sodium hypochlorite) feeders and liquid muriatic acid feeders will inject their solutions into the surge tank on the suction side of the unit.
  • Page 25 SHUT DOWN & FREEZE PROTECTION PROCEDURES When shutting the unit down for the end of the swimming season you must consider some items to protect the unit from inclement weather. It is best in most situations to shut the unit off by turning the thermostat all the way down, to the "left".

  • Page 26: Owners Trouble Shooting Guide

    OWNER TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE Improper installation will create an electrical hazard which could result in death or serious injury to pool users, installers, or others due to electrical shock, and may also cause damage to property. Do NOT attempt any internal adjustments inside the heater. 1.

    ELECTRICAL WIRING SPECIFICATIONS The heater must be electrically grounded and bonded in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the latest national electrical codes ANSI/NFPA No. 70. All wiring must comply with all local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the latest national electri- cal codes ANSI/NFPA No.

  • Page 29: How To Get Service

    HOW TO GET SERVICE When you experience trouble with your unit, you should follow these simple procedures before requesting service on your pool/spa heat pump. 1. You should follow all start up procedures as described in this booklet. Without exception you should clean the filtering system thoroughly, consult the manufacturers directions for proper filter cleaning methods.
