29 I Pool Heat Pump
MAINTENANCE OF YOUR POOL HEAT PUMP
Waterco pool heat pumps have been specifically engineered to give you years of
satisfaction and enjoyment in the pool.
Cabinet Cleaning
To clean the plastic and painted surfaces use mild soapy water and a soft clean cloth.
Never use solvents or abrasives.
Cleaning Evaporator
The evaporator at the rear of the unit must be kept clean and un-obstructed in order
for your pool heat pump to have better efficiency and avoid problems which may
void your warranty. The dirt collected in the evaporator can be removed with a gentle
water spray and the use of a soft brush. Be careful not to damage the aluminum fins.
Cleaning drainage holes
The condensate drainage holes in the base of the unit must be kept free of debris.
Blocked drainage holes may cause water to collect in the unit and become stagnant
or, interfere with electrical components and wiring.
Issues caused by blocked drainage holes in the base of the unit are not covered under
warranty.
Units Located In Coastal Locations
Care and maintenance procedures for Waterco Pool Heat Pumps installed in coastal
locations.
Exposure to salt may result in evaporator coil damage shortening the life of the
equipment.
Electroheat ECO-V pool heat pumps are fitted with evaporators treated with
hydrophilic blue fin technology. The advantages are:
The epoxy coating on the coils prevents accumulation of salt, acid, dust and water
deposits which minimises the effects of corrosion.
Hydrophilic blue fin condensers do not allow water droplets to accumulate which can
increase the efficiency of the pool heat pump.
Pool heat pumps located within 1 kilometre from the coast should be given a monthly
rinse with potable water straight from the garden hose connected to the municipal
water system to remove the salt build up on the evaporator coil and exposed metal
surfaces.
