OWNER INSTALLATION MANUAL 634ACH/ACL/AHC /1222AC/1234BC/BHC /1834BHC /PP22BC HEALTH AND SAFETY WARNING This appliance can be used by children from eight years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.
AIR/WATER HEAT PUMPS MODELS COVERED IN THIS MANUAL HC HEAT PUMPS These heat pumps are heater chillers, designed for areas of the world where the ambient temperature can vary from 7ºC to 50°C. The pool water is heated when the ambient temperature is low and cooled when the ambient temperature is high, enabling the user to enjoy the pool throughout the year.
OWNER INSTALLATION MANUAL 634ACH/ACL/AHC /1222AC/1234BC/BHC /1834BHC /PP22BC THE HEAT PUMP CYCLE The CALOREX Swimming Pool Heat Pumps provides thermodynamic heating by means of a vapour compression cycle, (similar to that employed in a conventional refrigerator), in addition to operating as an active solar collector. 2 The COMPRESSOR where it is compressed and upgraded 1 The EVAPORATOR collects the heat from the outside ambient air, to a much higher temperature.
INSTALLATION 1 SITING 1. Ensure heat pump on site is as ordered, i.e. model, electrical supply and factory fitted options. 2. Inspect unit for damage, in particular inspect the evaporator (finned side) to ensure that it is undamaged. (Minor indentations in the fins do not affect performance).
OWNER INSTALLATION MANUAL 634ACH/ACL/AHC /1222AC/1234BC/BHC /1834BHC /PP22BC 2 AIR FLOW Due consideration must be given to air flow, i.e. do not obstruct inlet or outlet and ensure discharge air cannot re-circulate to inlet.

3. PLUMBING a. Calorex ‘34’ range Heat Pumps have water inlet/outlet connections as follows: 634/1234 models ¾ “ BSP parallel, male.(with ¾” BSPF x 1½” ABS male adaptors supplied loose). 1834 models 1½” BSP parallel, male. PP22BC ¾” BSP parallel, male or 50mm The machine is supplied with bungs fitted in the water connection fittings.
