❺ Troubleshooting
• On start-up, the device remains "paused" for 5 minutes before it starts operating.
• When the setpoint temperature is reached, the heat pump stops heating: the water temperature
is higher than or equal to the setpoint temperature.
• When the water flow rate is zero or is not enough, the heat pump stops: check that the water is
circulating correctly in the heat pump and that the hydraulic connections are correct.
• The heat pump stops when the outdoor temperature falls below 5 °C for standard models or
-5 °C for "Defrost" models.
• It may be that the heat pump has detected an operating fault (see § "5.2 I Error code display").
• If you have checked these points and the problem persists: contact your reseller.
• Often called condensation, this water is the moisture contained in the air which condenses
on contact with certain cold mechanisms in the heat pump, especially on the evaporator. The
more damp the air, the more condensation your heat pump will produce (your device may
drain several litres of water per day). This water is retrieved by the base of the heat pump and
drained through a hole.
• To check that the water is not coming from a leak in the pool circuit on the heat pump, shut
down the heat pump, wait a few minutes and run the filtration pump for the water to circulate
in the heat pump. If the water continues to flow through the condensation drain, there is a
water leak in the heat pump; contact your reseller.
• Your heat pump will soon switch to its defrost cycle to melt the ice.
• If your heat pump cannot manage to deice its evaporator, it will stop itself; this means that the
outdoor temperature is too low (below 5 °C for standard models, -5 °C for "Defrost" models).
• If there is no display, check the supply voltage and the F1 fuse.
• When the setpoint temperature is reached, the heat pump stops heating: the water temperature
is higher than or equal to the setpoint temperature.
• When the water flow rate is zero or is not enough, the heat pump stops: check that the water
is circulating correctly in the heat pump.
• The heat pump stops when the outdoor temperature falls below 5 °C for standard models or
-5 °C for "Defrost" models.
• It may be that the heat pump has detected an operating fault (see § "5.2 I Error code display").
• It may be that the heat pump has detected an operating fault (see § "5.2 I Error code display").
• Check that the automatic filling valve is not stuck in open position; this will keep supplying cold
water into the pool and will prevent the temperature from rising.
• There is too much heat loss as the air is cool. Install a heat insulated cover on your pool.
• The heat pump is unable to capture enough calories as its evaporator is clogged with dirt. Clean
it to restore its performances (see § "4.2 I Maintenance").
• Check that the external environment is not hindering the heat pump (see § "❷ Installation").
• Check that the heat pump is the right size for this pool and its environment.
• If the outdoor temperature is low, the heat pump will perform defrost cycles.
• The heat pump is unable to capture enough calories as its evaporator is clogged with dirt. Clean
it to restore its performances (see § "4.2 I Maintenance").
• Check that the circuit breaker is correctly dimensioned and that the cable section used is
the right one (see § "1.2 I Technical specifications").
• The supply voltage is too low; contact your electricity supplier.
