Introduction WARNING This pool/spa heat pump is an electromechanical machine that incorporates a pressurised refrigerant gas in a sealed system. ONLY trained and qualified service personnel should attempt 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.
• Each side of the unit must be located at least 300mm from walls, pipes, or other obstructions for unrestricted air intake and service access. WARNING Do not install the unit within 1m of fossil fuel burning heaters. Air intake along the sides of this heat pump could disturb the combustion process of the unit, and could cause damage or personal injury. • Mount the unit on a level, sturdy base, preferably a concrete slab or blocks. The size of the base should be not less than 1m by 1m.
III. Water Connections CAUTION The heat pump inlet and outlet connections are NOT interchangeable. They must be connected as instructed below. 1. Connect the heat pump in the return water line between the pool filter and the pool. See page 10, Plumbing Diagrams. 2. Connect the filter outlet to the fitting marked WATER IN at the bottom front of the unit. 3. Connect the fitting marked WATER OUT to the return piping to the pool. Unit inlet/outlet connection fittings are 50mm PVC slip couplers.
Indicator Lamps: There are 6 indicator lamps located on the unit control panel: Control panel Indicator lamps When this lamp is lit, unit requires service. When any combination of these 5 lamps is lit, operation is normal. • Power (amber lamp): When lit, indicates power is applied to the unit. • Water Flow (green lamp): When lit, indicates normal water flow. • Heat Demand (green lamp): When lit, indicates the actual water temperature is below the target water temperature.
NOTE: The heat pump will be OFF when the Remote position is selected on the Pool/Spa selector switch. Spa thermostat Pool/Spa selector switch Pool thermostat 4.Allow the heat pump to operate for a few minutes to stabilize operating pressures and to allow various component temperatures to normalize. 5. Verify that the discharge air temperature is approximately 4°C - 6°C cooler than the air entering the unit. VI. Seasonal Start-Up or Annual Check 1. Remove leaves, pine needles, etc.
VIII. Summer Shutdown If you do not plan to use the pool heat pump during the summer months, secure and protect it as follows: 1. From the control panel, turn the control switch to Remote (OFF). 2. Turn the heat pump power switch to OFF. 3. Leave the valves set the way they are unless additional circulation is required. DO NOT stop all flow through the heat pump. 4. IMPORTANT: Remember to reset the valves before the next heating season, or the heat pump will not operate properly. IX.
2. To clean the fins, spray with a garden hose. But avoid high water pressure, which will bend and damage the fins. CAUTION B. Cabinet Care (optional) - The cabinet is designed for outdoor use and requires little care. However, you can clean it if you wish. 1. WARNING Shut OFF electricity to the heat pump. 2. Wash the cabinet with soap and water. C.
operation. After the desired temperature is reached, return the system to normal operation. • Is airflow through the unit being obstructed? Restrictions such as shrubbery, tall grass, dirty coils, or any other obstruction to airflow will reduce performance. • Is the pool blanket/cover being used? Unblanketed pools can lose up to 6° per night compared to 2 degrees or less when a blanket is used. Without a blanket, the total heat gained during the day can be lost overnight.
POWER SUPPLY • Verify that all circuit breakers are reset and working properly. • If the Power lamp on the control panel still does not light, contact the installing dealer, since it may be a power problem requiring an electrician. WATER FLOW • Verify that the filter is clean to provide good flow. • Verify that the valves are properly positioned.
Plumbing Diagrams Water In (from pool or Spa) Water Out (to pool or Spa) Filter For systems with pumps of less than 2 HP(1.5Kw) (under 300 l/min), no external bypass is required. Connections are 50 mm pipe slip. Plumb the heat pump after the filter and before any chlorinators. Water In (from pool or Spa) Water Out (to pool or Spa) Filter For systems with pumps of 2 HP (1.5Kw) or greater (over 300 l/min), an external bypass is required.
