Winterising
Long press to turn off the
appliance
• In the case of full winterising for the pool (complete shutdown of the filtration system, bleed the filtration
circuit or even pool drainage): re-fit the two connectors by one turn to prevent any foreign bodies from
getting into the condenser.
• In the case of winterising for the heat pump only (shutdown of the heating only, the filtration keeps running):
to not tighten the connectors but add 2 caps (provided) on the condenser's water inlets and outlets.
• We recommend that you put the aired winterising micro cover (provided) on the heat pump.
• Winterising is vital to prevent the condenser breaking due to freezing. This is not covered by the
warranty.
• To avoid damaging the appliance with condensation, do not fully cover it; a winterising cover is
provided.
Maintenance
• Make sure that the ventilation grid is not blocked by any foreign bodies.
• Clean the evaporator using a soft brush and a fresh water spray (disconnect the power cable).
• Clean the condensate drainage line to remove any impurities that may be blocking it.
• Make sure that the switch box's ventilation grid is clean.
• Do not use a high pressure jet. Do not spray with rain water, salt water or water which is full of minerals.
• Clean the outside of the appliance; do not use any solvent-based products. We can provide you with
a specific cleaning kit as an accessory: the PAC NET.
• Do not disconnect the electricity supply when the appliance is running. If the electric power
supply is interrupted, wait a minute before restoring power to the appliance.
• Before any maintenance, troubleshooting or repair operation, deactivating the modem's Wi-Fi
connection is recommended to avoid any risk of the appliance being remotely controlled.
• It is recommended that the appliance undergo general servicing at least on a yearly basis to
ensure proper operation, maintain performance levels and potentially prevent certain failures.
These operations are carried out at the user's expense by a technician.
