Congratulations purchasing most advanced high efficiency, microprocessor-controlled pool and spa heat pump available. Your heater has been manufactured with the best state-of-the-art quality control equipment available today to ensure the highest quality product delivered to your door. A heat pump pool heater is a highly efficient, cost effective method of pool heating.
WATER CHEMISTRY MAINTENANCE Not only is the water chemistry of your pool or spa important to the health of you and your family, it also directly affects the life of your heater. This is the most important item in the maintenance of the heater.
INSTALLATION LOCATION OF HEATER The unit is designed for outdoor installation and should not be placed in a totally enclosed area such as shed or garage. This will cause recirculation of cold discharge air back into the evaporator coil and will greatly reduce heating capacity and efficiency of the unit.
TIE DOWN STRAPS The base of the unit may be used to fasten the unit in accordance with your local building code. Attach two tie straps on opposite sides of unit (See diagram HS1) anchor to the deck. Diagram HS1 Hurricane Strap Installing a Heat Pump Below Pool Level...
Solar-Heat Pump Hybrid System Install Instructions This option will allow the Heat Pump to monitor the performance of the pool’s solar heating system, and will automatically divert the water away from the solar to prevent overheating or cooling of the water. A roof sensor and solar actuator are required (See Solar Wiring Diagram).
Installing Motorized Valve Automation To The Heat Pump (GPS Feature) To install actuators, run wires from the actuators into control box of the unit. Then connect the wires to the Pool/Spa valves terminals on top of the board (See Diagram .
HEAT PUMP FEATURES CABINET Your heat pump’s cabinet is made from a maintenance-free, rust-free ABS plastic that is UV resistant. It will last for years and any dirt or dust may be wiped away with a cloth. Use only cleaner designed for plastic.
Heat Pump Features Continued EASY ACCESS The heater was designed for quick and easy access for installation and diagnosis. The service panel is removed with four screws and access to all service connections are right up front and easy to reach. This allows the installation and service to be done quickly and efficiently –...
POOL/SPA MODES The control board is equipped with two independent thermostats; one for pool temperature and one for spa temperature. This allows the user to preset a temperature of their choice and switch between the two settings with the “MODE” button located on the control. When water is flowing through the unit and the water temperature meets the specified set point condition, the control will turn off the heater.
HEATER RUNNING TIME The owner is responsible for determining the necessary length of operating time for the pump and heater based upon user’s particular requirements. Most units are sized to operate during the pool filtering cycle time of 8 to 12 hours daily, providing an even, steady flow of heat.
POOL SOLAR HEAT OPERATION Once the Solar Control is enabled in the Hidden Menu, and 20 seconds of inactivity, the Screen will return to display “POOL–HEAT ” Press “MODE” button to display “POOL-SOLAR HEAT” on the front screen, the display will show as follows in illustration 1 P O O L S O L A R H E A T...
HEAT / COOL UNIT OPERATION CHOICE ONE: HEAT/COOL (OPTION 2 IN SERVICE MENU) This will allow your Heat Pump to keep the temperature in your pool at the same temperature, if the water temperature gets 2˚ warmer or colder, the unit will heat or cool the pool until it reaches the set point.
CARE & MAINTENANCE CLEANING There is not much maintenance that needs to be done on your heater. Making sure there is good airflow through the evaporator and proper drainage are the two main tasks. A garden hose with low- pressure water flow can be used to clean the evaporator coil, DO NOT spray the control box.
TROULESHOOTING A simple test to verify that your heater is functioning is to place your hand above the unit. There should be cold air blowing out the top after time delay has expired. The return water to the pool should be a few degrees warmer than water entering the heater.

Unit Displays No Flow or Water Flow HP: Check to make sure the Pool Pump is on and primed If pump is off, or not primed, it will not send any water through the system. Check any bypass valves Make sure they are not redirecting the water away from the unit. Make sure that you are getting anywhere from 30 to 70 through the unit.
