Pool Heat Pump Has Ice Formed On The Evaporator Coil; Pool Heat Pump Is Functioning, But Does Not Reach The Desired Temperature Setting - Waterco Electroheat ECO-V Installation And Operation Manual

Pool Heat Pump Has Ice Formed On The Evaporator Coil

1. IMPORTANT: For safety, switch OFF the circuit-breaker.
2. Allow the ice to melt and then inspect the evaporator to ensure it is free of debris
and leaves.
3. If the evaporator is dusty or dirty, clean it with a light spray of water and allow it to
dry (do not use high pressure it may damage the evaporator fins).
4. When the unit is dry, you may switch it back ON from the circuit breaker.
5. Ensure that the clearances around the unit are respected.
6. When the unit has been switched ON ensure the fan motor is working (fan blades
will be turning) while the compressor is operating.
7. If the fan blade does not turn and the compressor is functioning; notify customer
service.
**If the pool heat pump requires service, the owner of the pool heat pump will need
to ensure the unit has been switched OFF to allow any ice to melt prior to any
technician attending.
Pool Heat Pump Is Functioning, But Does Not Reach The
Desired Temperature Setting
Improper installation may cause this situation and will need to be corrected by the
owner.
1. Ensure the by-pass valves are in the correct positions to ensure sufficient water
flow, insufficient water flow will cause the compressor to shut off early.
2. If you have installed a timer or the pool heat pump is equipped with an integrated
timer, be sure it is programmed to allow the pool pump to work for sufficient time
in order to reach the programmed temperature.
3. Ensure the evaporator is cleaned regularly with a light spray of water and allowed
to dry before re-starting the pool heat pump to avoid premature ice build up on
the evaporator.
4. Waterco recommend the use of a solar cover to retain heat in pool water. Pools
without covers lose 2 to 3 times more heat than pools with solar covers.
5. Make sure the electronic control of your pool heat pump has been programmed
correctly;during this test the pool heat pump and water pump must be working
continuously (eg; the desired water temperature must be set correctly).
6. If the unit continually fails to reach the desired water temperature, we suggest
completing the following analysis chart and forwarding it to Waterco in order to
avoid unnecessary service fees.
