Troubleshooting Using Displayed Codes
Interpreting Error Codes
The HP7R heat pump microprocessor controller is designed to be self-diagnostic through the display
of various fault codes.
Owners & Operators: If you believe you are experiencing a problem with the heater, and feel a need to
call the factory for assistance, it will be beneficial to let the factory Service Representative know which
code is being displayed. Having this information at hand will permit the Service Representative to work
through–with you–any site related issues causing or contributing to the problem. Then, if after working
through site-related issues the heater is still not functioning correctly, the Service Representative will
offer to set up a service visit. As necessary, please Contact AquaCal Customer Support Group (800-
786-7751).
Dealers and Service Centers: For troubleshooting use, listed below are all possible fault messages
output by the microprocessor, what the codes mean, and possible causes with solutions for the
indicated problem. Please contact AquaCal Technical Support Group, as necessary (800-786-7751).
