We recommend maintaining the pH level of the swimming pool at between 7.2 and 7.8. A higher pH level
could damage the heat pump and other equipment and also void the warranty. Also, check the chlorine and
the hardness of the water. (FIGURE 8)
Before backwashing, stop the unit by putting the thermostat to the lowest temperature during the cleaning cycle.
Never use the skimmer to add chemicals to your pool water.
T
hese recommendations are important to prolong the life of your heat pump and especially to protect your health.
