1.1 Important Information:

ATTENTION!
When transporting the heat pump, ensure that it is not tilted more than
45° (in any direction).
ATTENTION!
The heat pump and transport pallet are only joined by the packing film.
ATTENTION!
Do not restrict or block the area around the air intake or outlet.
ATTENTION!
Ensure that there is a clockwise rotating field (for multiphase devices):
Operating the compressor in the wrong rotational direction could cause
damage to the compressor. Incorrect phase sequence causes wrong
rotational direction of the ventilator and, thus, a significantly reduced
performance.
ATTENTION!
Never use cleaning agents containing sand, soda, acid or chloride as
these can damage the surfaces.
ATTENTION!
Before opening the device, ensure that all circuits are isolated from the
power supply.
ATTENTION!
The warranty does not cover damage caused by inadequate lay-up
measures during the winter.
ATTENTION!
Work on the refrigerating circuit may only be performed by competent
personnel.
1.2 Legal Regulations and
Directives
The construction and design of the heat pump complies with all
relevant EU directives, DIN/VDE regulations (see CE declaration
of conformity).
When connecting the heat pump to the power supply, the rele-
vant VDE, EN and IEC standards are to be fulfilled. Any further
connection requirements stipulated by local utility companies
must also be observed.
When connecting the heating system, all applicable regulations
must also be adhered to.

1.3 Energy-Efficient Use of the
Heat Pump
To maintain heat pump efficiency, it is particularly important to
keep the temperature difference between the domestic hot water
and heat source to a minimum.
Suitable heating water temperature, a carefully chosen location
for the open-air pool, and the use of heat insulating pool covers
are just some of the measures used to reduce heat energy re-
quirements.
It is important to ensure that the heat exchangers are not con-
taminated during operation because this increases the tempera-
ture difference, in turn reducing the COP.
2 Purpose of the Heat
Pump

2.1 Application

The swimming pool heat pump is suitable for heating swimming
pool water or saline water.
The heat pump is equipped with an automatic evaporator de-
frosting (de-icing) system. The heat pump may also be operated
in frosty external air temperatures, providing operating limits and
conditions are observed.

2.2 Operating Principle

The surrounding air is drawn in by the ventilator and fed via a
finned heat exchanger, which extracts heat from the air. This en-
ergy difference is then transferred to the working medium (refrig-
erant) in the heat exchanger.
An electrically driven compressor "pumps" this extracted heat to
a higher temperature level by increasing its pressure. The heat is
then transferred to the water via a titanium heat exchanger.
During heating operation, electrical operating energy is used to
raise the temperature of the heat in the environment to a higher
level. Because energy extracted from the air is transferred to the
water that is to be heated, this device is referred to as an air-to-
water heat pump.
The swimming pool heat pump consists of the main components:
evaporator, ventilator and expansion valve, as well as the low-
noise compressor, liquifier (titanium heat exchanger) and the
electrical control system.
During heating operation at low ambient temperatures, humidity
accumulates on the evaporator in the form of frost, impairing heat
transfer. The evaporator is automatically defrosted according to
need. Depending on atmospheric conditions, steam (water va-
pour) may be briefly visible in the immediate vicinity of the air
inlet or outlet when restarting.
