5. MAINTENANCE Repairs WARNING: Under normal conditions, a suitable heat pump can heat up the tub water by 1 °C to 2°C per hour. It is therefore normal that you do not feel any difference in temperature at the outlet level when the heat pump is on. In the event of a problem, the heat pump’s screen displays an error code instead of temperature indications. - Page 33 5. MAINTENANCE Code Description Solution 1. Replace the compressor exhaust temperature sensor. 2. Reconnect or clean compressor exhaust temperature High exhaust temp. protection sensor and wrap it with insulation tape. 3. Replace the controller or PC Board. Water inlet temperature fault Check the connection, change the sensor if necessary.
