  • Page 4: Introduction

    As with all pool heat pumps, compared to other types of heat pumps such as gas- or oil-fired, this heat pump has lower heating capacity on a BTU/hr basis. As a result, it will be required to operate longer to accomplish the desired results. It may, at certain times, operate as much as 24 hours per day.

  • Page 5: Electrical Connections

    Situate the pool heat pump carefully to minimize installation costs while providing maximum efficiency of operation, and to allow adequate service access, as follows: • For unrestricted air intake and service access, position each side of the unit at least 1 ft from walls, pipes and other obstructions.

  • Page 6: Water Connections

    The heat pump inlet and outlet connections are NOT interchangeable. They must be connected as instructed below. 1. Connect the heat pump in the return water line between the filter and the pool. See page 10, Plumbing Diagrams. 2. Connect the filter outlet to the fitting marked inlet/outlet connection fittings are 2-inch PVC unions.

  • Page 7: System Start-Up

    NOTE: The heat pump will not run when the Remote position is selected and there is no remote control system attached. Defrost Switch: Prevents heat pump operation if ambient air temperature falls below a predetermined safe minimum (approximately 42-48° F, based on humidity). The compressor will shut OFF but the fan will continue to run.

  • Page 8: Summer Shutdown

    VI. Summer Shutdown If you do not plan to use the heat pump during the summer months, secure and protect it as follows: 1. From the control panel, turn the control switch to 2.

  • Page 9: Freeze Protection

    VII. Freeze Protection If the heat pump is installed in a location subject to freezing conditions, it is important to protect the water circuit from freezing, just as should be done for the pump and filter. System Drain-Down 1. Turn the heat pump circuit breaker or disconnect switch to OFF.

  • Page 10: Troubleshooting

    IX. Troubleshooting If your heat pump does not operate, or simply does not heat your pool water, the indicator lamps on the front control panel (see Section IV) can provide valuable clues as to what is wrong, and may even indicate precisely what the problem is.

  • Page 11: Service Call Verification

    Use a pool chemistry test kit to confirm there is no chlorine in the condensation. Or, b. Shut the heat pump OFF and leave the filter pump running to see if the water stops dripping. If the water stops dripping, the heat pump is not leaking.

  • Page 12: Plumbing Diagrams

    For systems with pumps of 2 HP or greater (over 80 gpm), an external bypass must be installed. Adjust the bypass valve to divert most of the water through the heat pump. Connections are 2-inch unions. Plumb the heat pump after the filter and before any chlorinators.
