VII. Heat Pump Running Time........ -
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 (30 cm) 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/spa. See page 10, Plumbing Diagrams. 2. Connect the filter outlet to the fitting marked 3. - Page 7 • Power (amber lamp): When lit, indicates power is applied to the unit.

XI. 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 Normally, it takes about 4 days. How many hours per day is the unit operating? Remember that the heat pump only operates while the pool pump is running. Set the time clock to permit 24 hour per day operation.

Page 12: 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 13: Plumbing Diagrams
For systems with pumps of 2 HP or greater (over 80 gpm), an external bypass is required. Adjust the bypass valve to divert a minimum of 40 gpm through the heat pump. Connections are 2-inch unions. Plumb the heat pump after the filter and before any chlorinators.
