INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Location To gain maximum efficiency for your pool heat pump please follow all instructions when “positioning the unit”. It is also important to allow clearances for future service and maintenance procedures. The unit is designed for outdoor installation and should not be installed in a totally enclosed area such as a shed, garage, etc., unless assisted ventilation of the cold exhaust air is provided to ensure adequate air exchange for correct operation.
Pool Heat Pump I pg 06 Installation Clearances Air is pulled through the evaporator coil and discharged through the top or front grill. Clearances must be allowed in front and around the unit for unrestricted air discharge and service access. See Figure 1 and Figure 2. Failure to comply to the set clearances may cause diminished unit performance and reduced unit longevity.
A bypass kit consisting of three X two way valves must be installed for adjustment of water flow and ease of service. Waterco offer prefabricated water bypass kits to fit their heat pump domestic range. Ask your local Waterco sales office for details.

OPERATION OF YOUR POOL HEAT PUMP Initial Heating To achieve initial heating, your pool heat pump and the pool pump may require extended operation until desired temperature is achieved. The initial heating time may vary depending upon the five factors listed below. After initial heating, operating time may be reduced to match daily heat loss. Size of the pool.
I pg 22 Pool Heat Pump Pool Heat Pump Running Time Most units should be sized to operate during the pool filtering cycle time of 8-12 daytime hours daily during warmer months and up to 8 hours daily during the daytime in winter months.
CONTROLLER TYPES (Fixed Speed Models) Electronic Control with Diagnostics for Standard Models and Electronic Control with Diagnostics for Reversible de-icing Models Electronic Control Reversible (XLR) electronic control with diagnostics with diagnostics To Start The Pool Heat Pump Press the button on the electronic control ON/OFF to start the pool heat pump. The temperature display will show the pool water temperature flowing in your pool heat pump and the fan motor starts (fan blade turns) but the compressor does not start.
I pg 24 Pool Heat Pump To Check and Adjust Temperature Settings To program the desired water temperature, press BOTH the UP and DOWN arrow keys at the same time until the temperature degree displays change degree, then release them. Press the UP arrow or DOWN arrow to program the desired temperature.
Temperature Calibration It is possible to have a temperature variation between the water in the swimming pool and the reading of the pool heat pump temperature probe (sensor). Example:if the water in the pool is 26º C (80º F) and the heat pump electronic control displays 24ºC (76º...
The integrity and performance of your pool heat pump and its components are protected by internal safety controls. In normal use, your Waterco unit should never reach the thermal protection level. However, if it should happen, you should identify the stated code on the temparature display and refer to Service Analyser codes.

For Waterco pool heat pumps located within one kilometre from the coast a coating must be applied to the unit prior to site delivery on the evaporator fins and exposed metal surfaces to reduce the incidence of corrosion.
Winterising Procedure VITAL If the pool heat pump is stored in a place where the temperature drops below the freezing point of 0˚C (32°F); it is mandatory that the water accumulated in the pool heat pump be drained completely before freezing weather prevails. Improper winterizing may damage the pool heat pump and will void the warranty.
I pg 32 Pool Heat Pump GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS DO NOT DEPRIVE YOUR POOL HEAT PUMP OF WATER FLOW FOR MORE THAN 24 HOURS WITHOUT DRAINING IT. Make sure you leave the bypass valves as shown in Figure 1. At the end of each season, when the pool heat pump is no longer in use, and proper pool water chemistry is not maintained, it should be disconnected from the water line and drained to prevent any possible corrosion or damage to the pool heat pump.
