If you have followed the directions up to this point, you should be on your way to
enjoying a warm pool or hot spa.
o
After the heat pump has been running for some time, you may see water present
around the heater. This water is condensation produced as a by-product of
transferring heat from the air to your pool or spa. If the humidity is high, water
quantities of 6-8 gallons per hour are not uncommon. Conversely, a low-
humidity condition may result in no condensation being produced.
