Page 3: Introduction
Your new pool heat pump will help you save money compared to other types of pool heat- ers. In fact, even if your pool heat pump has a lower heat capacity which makes it run for 24 hours a day, the pool heat pump remains the most economic system, because of the use of state of the art technics in thermodynamics. -
Page 4: Selecting The Location
SELECTING THE LOCATION The area you choose for your pool heat pump is very important. You must consider the following. Your heat pump uses the surrounding air to work. It is very important that you make sure there is enough air circulation around the heat pump. Do not install the heat pump in a closed space like a garden shed, a garage, or a basement. -
Page 5: Water Inlet And Outlet Connections
Your water pump must provide the quantity of water indicated in the table below. These numbers must be used for each pool heat pump installed. A flow meter must be installed on the water inlet of the pool heater to know the exact water flow. Caution : many flow meters require a long distance of straight tubing on the inlet side to offer an adequate measurement. -
Page 6: Basic Connection
Basic Connection This connection method is strongly recommended to enhance the life-span of your pool heat pump. If you connect the unit this way, you have to pour chemicals directly into the pool or the spa, as far as pos- sible from the water supply point. -
Page 7: In-Line Chlorinator Or Brominator
In-line Chlorinator or Brominator Filter P-trap Check-valve Chlorinator Salt chlorinators are made to be installed like in-line chlorinators. Therefore, they must be installed in accordance with the “In-line Chlorinator or Brominator” connection di- rectives, else the warranty of the heat pump will be voided. (See the section “Water Main- tenance”... -
Page 8: Pool And Spa Connection
An independent home automation system with automatic valves can reduce this problem, or you must be very assiduous in maintenance. 2) For the pool heat pump to automatically detect the switch over from pool to spa and vice versa, a flow switch must be added on the spa line. -
Page 9: Electrical Connection
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION For your own safety, and to ensure proper operation of the unit, the electrical connec- tions must be performed by a qualified electrician as per all applicable national, pro- vincial, state or local electrical codes. A breaker must be installed near the heat pump in an accessible area. Never open the electrical box without shutting off all power sources to the heat pump. -
Page 10: Maintenance
Before performing any maintenance on the heat pump you must turn off the breaker of the electrical supply line. To ensure optimum performance of the heat pump, follow these recommendations: - Backwash the filter of the pool on a regular basis in order to ensure proper flow rate through the pool heater;... - Page 11 Winterizing (Titanium heat exchanger) Loosen bypass valves Brass cap Unscrew brass cap Water inlet and outlet pipes...

1. Verify and adjust the quality of the pool water (see chapter "Water Maintenance" to find out about the amount of chemicals to be used in your swimming pool); 2. Make sure that the electrical breaker of the pool heat pump is in the off position; 3. Connect the heat pump to the water circuit;... -
Page 13: Water Maintenance
Your heat pump, just as any type of pool heater (gas, oil, electric, etc.), features some metal parts that can be damaged by bad chemistry. The condenser of your pool heat pump is made of a copper alloy that, as resistant as it is, is sensitive to pH. That is why we strongly recommend testing the quality of the pool water regularly. - Page 14 NSPI and are common throughout the swimming pool industry; they are not particular to Turcotte heat pumps. The most important factor for the durability of the pool heat pump is the pH because the capability of the water to cause the degradation of metal is directly related to it. Let’s also mention that TA is the measure of the capacity of water to resist to pH variation;...

Page 15: Sanitizers
“…having a strongly acidic pH, TCCA tablets will reduce total alkalinity and, if not moni- tored, low total alkalinity will cause corrosive damage to the pool.” [Taylor, A Testing & Treatment Guide part #2004B, p.26] Usage of trichlor requires the addition of sodium bicarbonate to higher the pH and TA level. - Page 16 Therefore, it is imperative to test water frequently, even if water is very clear, to avoid problems caused by water acidity. Acid water is often very clear because it is free of microorganisms, but it is damageable and of bad quality.

Page 17: What To Do
If you observe that your pool water is beyond the established standards, we urge you to shut down your pool heat pump, to divert the water from it and to disconnect it from the plumbing, as described in the section “Maintenance”, p11. After, wash the heat exchanger using tap water. -

1. No action required. (Install a derivation drain if necessary.) 2. To verify if it is a leak, you need to stop the pool heat pump until all the condensation has disappeared. Verify if there is water remaining around the machine after 24 to 48 hours. -

1 or 2 degrees lower than what is measured on surface. This situation is normal since the water at the bottom of a pool is always cooler than on surface. 4) Since the installation of my pool heat pump, the pressure in my filter pump has risen, is it normal? -Yes. -
