2.5 Winterizing
Winterizing is essential due to the risk of the condenser freezing. This situation is
not covered by the warranty.
 switch off the heat pump by pressing the
the power cable,
 ensure that no water is flowing through the heat pump,
 drain the water condenser (risk of freezing) by removing the two pool water inlet and
outlet connections at the back of the heat pump,
 in the case of a full winterizing of the pool: connect the inlet and outlet connections
"lightly" without tightening (one turn) in order to avoid foreign bodies entering into
the condenser,
 in the case of winterizing the heat pump alone: do not reconnect the inlet and outlet
connectors, instead place two stops (supplied) on the condenser water inlet and
outlet.
To avoid damaging the appliance with condensation, do not cover it with an air‐
tight cover.
Maintenance
