This manual, as well as the pool/spa heat pump 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.
Page 4 Introduction This pool/spa heat pump is an electromechanical machine that incorporates a pressurized refrigerant gas in a sealed system. ONLY trained and qualified service personnel are authorized to install or service this equipment. Without proper training and knowledge of such equipment, any attempt to install or service the unit could result in serious injury or even death.
Page 5 The unit’s supporting base must be high enough to keep unit completely free of standing water at all times. Situate the pool heat pump carefully to minimize installation costs while providing maximum efficiency of operation, and to allow adequate service access, as follows: ...
Page 6 Install a check valve and/or Hartford loop a minimum of 18 inches higher than the top of the chlorinator BETWEEN the heat pump and any automatic chlorinating devices.

Page 9 Daily Heating Cycle Most heat pumps are sized to operate during the pool filtering cycle time of 8 - 10 hours daily to provide an even, steady flow of warm water over a long period of time. On warmer days, the unit will run less, on cooler days, longer.
Page 10 VI. Seasonal Start-Up or Annual Check NOTE: At the beginning of the heating season or whenever the pool water temperature is to be raised several degrees, the pool pump and heat pump may need to operate continuously for several days. During summer months, only a few hours per day may be necessary or none at all.
