This manual, as well as the pool/spa heat pump pool heater itself, contains ANSI-approved product safety signs and labels. Please read these signs and labels, as they convey important safety information about hazards that may be potentially present in and around the heat pump pool heater.
As with all heat pump pool heaters, compared to other types of heaters such as gas or oil-fired, this heat pump pool heater has lower heating capacity on a BTUH/hr basis.
3 FT (90cm) FLOW HEATER • When installed in areas where freezing tempera- tures can be encountered, drain the water circuit to prevent possible freeze-up damage. See the Freeze Protection Section. Electrical Connections Refer to the unit rating plate below the control panel for precise power requirements for your unit, and for ampacity and over-current protection requirements.
CAUTION: The heat pump pool heater inlet and outlet connections are NOT interchangeable. They must be connected as instructed below. 1. Connect the heat pump pool heater in the return water line between the filter and the pool/spa. See the Plumbing Diagrams beginning on page 12.
Pool and Spa is higher than the displayed current water temperature. 3. Allow the heat pump pool heater to operate for a few minutes to stabilize operating pressures and to allow various component temperatures to normal- ize.
4. Set the valves to ensure proper water flow through the unit. Summer Shutdown If you do not plan to use the heat pump pool heater during the summer months, secure and protect it as follows: 1. Turn the unit circuit breaker or disconnect switch to OFF.
8–10 hours per day. NOTE: If the pool pump and heat pump pool heater shut OFF before the water temperature is raised to the desired level, you must lengthen the running time of both.
Service Call Verification Before you make a service call, first determine if the problem is: • Warranty Service • Unit operation (power supply, water flow, or time clock adjustment) NOTE: The MANUFACTURER IS NOT RESPON- SIBLE for these adjustments. Power Supply •...
