Installation & Operation Manual

4.5 Initial Startup

• Before starting the pool heater for the first time, it is important to verify that the breaker is in the ON position.
• Also make sure that the water circulates freely and that the pool pump is activated.
• Then, you will need to set the water temperature you desire. The fan will immediately start. The compressor will start after a 3
to 4 minute delay.
• When the compressor is running, the "heating" indicator located on the right
(see "Service Analyzer Control," p. 13) should be lit. At initial startup, it is normal for the unit to run 24 hours a day.
• It is also normal to see water dripping from the holes at the base of the unit. This is just condensation.

5. Winterizing

• First, you must turn the breaker off. The unit must be drained of all its water. You will need to disconnect the IN and OUT
water connections. Then the unit must be tilted or blown out with air until all water is out.
• The next step is to reconnect your IN and OUT water connections that will have previously been drained.
• It is recommended to cover the heat pump to prevent snow from getting inside. A protective winter cover is also offered by
your retailer.

6. Service

6.1 Requesting Assistance or Service

• All service will be handled by an Authorized Service Center. Warranty may be voided if service is not done by an Authorized
Service Representative. Do not return the heater to your dealer as they do not provide service.
• Before calling for assistance or service, please check the "Troubleshooting" (page 16) and "Warranty" (page 17) sections or
call your dealer. It may save you the cost of a service call. If you still need help, follow the instructions below.
• When asking for help, please provide a detailed description of the problem, your heater's complete model and serial number,
and the purchase date. This information will help us respond properly to your request.
• Keep a copy of the sales receipt showing the date of purchase. Proof of purchase will assure you warranty service.
