SETTINGS:
Water flow setting:
– To optimise the heating performance and achieve power savings, the flow of water travelling through the HP should be adjusted.
– The adjustment is done based on the reading of the adjustment pressure gauge. The adjustment is done by opening or closing the adjustment valve of the
bypass.
– To increase the pressure on the front pressure gauge: reduce the amount of water passing through the HP: open the bypass adjustment valve.
– To reduce the pressure on the front pressure gauge: increase the amount of water passing through the HP: close the bypass adjustment valve.
– During normal operations, the inlet and outlet valves must remain fully open.
Normal pressure:
– The flow of water through the HP and the fluid pressure in the device are intimately linked.
– The flow value given for information purposes is of 5 to 7m³/h, i.e. approximately 100l/min to reach the maximum heating power of the HP.
– The ideal setting is achieved when the hand of the pressure gauge (for heating operations in boost or Hi mode) indicates a temperature in °C greater by 10 to
15°C than the current temperature of the swimming pool.
– Remember, the HP must operate for a few minutes before the pressure stabilises on the pressure gauge.
– Example: the swimming pool water is 20°C, the HP has been operating for 5 minutes, and the hand of the pressure gauge indicates 20 bars / 280 PSI / 32°C /
90°F. -> 32°C – 20°C = 12°C -> the setting is right (between 10 and 15°C).
Abnormal pressure:
– If the pressure at the pressure gauge is too high or too low, that means that the flow of water through the HP is inadequate.
– Action must therefore be taken by opening or closing progressively the bypass adjustment valve, to get the pressure in the recommended range.
– When stopped, the temperature reading should be close to the temperature of the swimming pool water.
– If the hand shows 0, the device should not be used (contact your distributor).
Setting frequency:
– The flow through the HP depends much on water temperature, and to a lesser extent, on air temperature.
It should therefore be adjusted:
– When the pump is started, and the water is cold
– During the rise of temperature
– When the desired temperature has been reached.
There should not be any reason to subsequently adjust the flow. An occasional reading of the pressure gauge to ensure everything is operating normally and the
flow remains unchanged is generally sufficient.
GENERAL USE:
Water quality (standard):
– The recommended water quality must comply with the following standards.
– Chlorine concentration less than 2.5 ppm
– pH between 6.9 and 8
– In case of sudden chlorination, isolate the heat pump by shutting the inlet and outlet valves of the device, and reset them to their initial positions after
treatment.
Maintaining the temperature:
– Once the desired temperature has been reached, you can set the daily filtration time according to your habits (8 to 10 hours per day minimum during the sea-
son). The heat pump will start automatically whenever necessary. The minimum operating time varies based on the time of use, please contact your distributor
for further information.
If you notice the water temperature of the pool is falling, despite the device operating continuously, increase the daily filtration time.
Do not forget to cover the pool with an insulated cover when you are not using it, to limit heat losses.
IMPORTANT: a swimming pool without a cover will lose 4 times more energy than the same pool with a cover.
The choice of the heat pump should always take into account the presence of a tarpaulin, a rolling shutter, or any other type of protection of the pool when it is
not being used.
