SAFETY
For personal safety, and to avoid damage to equipment, follow all safety instructions displayed in this guide. Repair
and service of your heat pump must be performed by qualified service personnel. Failure to properly install, operate,
maintain, or repair the heat pump will void factory warranty. Please note "WARNING" signals relate to personal
safety, while "CAUTION" signals promote avoiding damage to equipment.
Follow all National Electric Codes (NEC) unless State or Local guidelines supersede. When installing and using your
heat pump, basic safety precautions must always be followed, including the following:
WARNING - Failure to heed the following may result in injury or death.
Heat pumps contain no owner-repairable components.
Electrical Installation should be by Licensed Electrician only.
Service to the refrigerant circuit must be performed only by qualified HVAC Technicians.
Heat pumps utilize high voltage and rotating equipment. Use caution when servicing.
Heater contains refrigerant under pressure. Recover refrigerant before opening system.
Prolonged immersion in water warmer than normal body temperature can cause fatal Hyperthermia.
The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal Hyperthermia.
Persons having an adverse medical history, or pregnant women, should consult a physician before
using a hot tub or spa. In addition, children and the extreme elderly should be supervised by a
responsible adult.
CAUTION - Failure to heed the following may result in equipment damage.
Improper water chemistry can cause damage to pump, filter, pool shell, etc. To avoid equipment
damage, maintain Pool/Spa water per standards detailed later in this manual.
