Page 19: General Maintenance
MAINTENANCE & OPERATIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS The information in this section is written primarily for the Home Owner, but may also apply to servicing dealers or HVAC service centers. This section contains information concerning planned maintenance, proper water flow, maintaining proper clearances, as well as other vital information. Please read this section now, and before calling Customer Support. -
Page 20: Maintaining Proper Water Flow
MAINTENANCE & OPERATION (continued) Maintain Proper Water Flow It is important to operate and maintain the filter according to the manufacturer's specifications. As a filter gets dirty, the water flow to the heat pump is reduced. The higher the pressure on the filter gauge, the lower the flow rate. - Page 21 MAINTENANCE & OPERATION (continued) Control Irrigation and Storm Run Off Control Irrigation: In regions were wells are used for irrigation, water quality is sometimes poor, and water spray can damage heater components. Regardless of water quality, it is important that irrigation be directed away from the heat pump. Prevent rain water runoff from pouring directly into the heater.

Page 22: Heating Tips
MAINTENANCE & OPERATION (continued) Heating Tips Heating in Cooler Weather... Late night and early morning, generally being the coolest times of the day, are least efficient for heat- ing. For most efficient heating operation, heat pumps should be timed to operate during the warmest, daylight portions of the day. -
Page 23: Calculating Initial Heating Time
MAINTENANCE & OPERATION (continued) Calculating Initial Heating Time The time it takes to initially warm your pool or spa depends on several factors. First, determine how many gallons of water are to be heated. Knowing this, you can then compute the equivalent pounds of water involved, and the BTU's necessary to heat the volume of water to the desired temperature. -
Page 24: Seasonal Use & Shut Down
MAINTENANCE & OPERATION (continued) Seasonal Use & Shut Down During the Swim Season: During the swim season, even if the pool or spa is not in use, allow water to flow through the heater. Doing so eliminates the need to reposition valves when you do wish to heat the pool or spa. -
Page 25: Winterizing Procedure
MAINTENANCE & OPERATION (continued) Winterizing Procedure: 1. Disconnect all electrical power to the heater; turn OFF circulating pump. After shutting down the pool and or spa, with all water removed from the Plumbing/ PVC, Disconnect the Supplied Unions on the Front of the Heat Pump. Use an Air Blower to Blow the Water Out of the Heat Pump. - Page 26 MAINTENANCE & OPERATION (continued) Planned Maintenance Program Just as you would have yearly service performed on your air-conditioning system, regular inspection and maintenance of your heat pump will insure highest operating efficiencies. A regularly maintained heater will protect your investment, and will potentially extend the useful life of your heat pump far beyond the warranty period.
