9. Maintenance 10. Warranty Thank you for purchasing a Theratherm Heat Pump for your pool or spa heating. Heat Pumps use the ambient air temperature to heat your pool or spa water efficiently. Heat Pumps perform better with warmer ambient temperatures & it will heat your water and maintain constant temperature whilst the ambient air temperature is between -7 to 40℃.
3.1 Notes Upon purchase you will receive your complete Heat Pump. All other components, including a bypass, must be provided by the user or the installer. (Bypass Recommended on all Theratherm heat pumps) Attention: Please observe the following rules when installing the heat pump: 1.
2. Any addition of automated chemicals must take place in the piping located downstream from the heat pump. 3. Install the heat pump above the water level of the swimming pool. 4. Always place the heat pump on a solid foundation and use the included rubber mounts to avoid vibration and noise.

3.4 Check-valve installation Note: If automatic dosing equipment for chlorine and acid (pH) is used, it is essential to protect the heat pump against excessively high chemical concentrations which may corrode the heat exchanger. For this reason, equipment of this sort must always be fitted in the piping on the downstream side of the heat pump, and it is recommended to install a check-valve to prevent reverse flow in the absence of water circulation.

Note: This arrangement is only an illustrative example. Adjusting the bypass assembly Use the following procedure to adjust the bypass: • On start-up fully open all two valves • slowly close valve 1 into the heat pump until water pressure is increased by approximately 100 to 200 g (refer to pressure gauge) •...
