During the Swim Season
u
During the swim season, even if the pool or spa is not in use, allow water to flow through the heater.
u
This eliminates the need to reposition valves when you do wish to heat your pool or spa.
Freeze protection / Extended shut downs
u
In areas where freezing conditions are a rare occurrence, allow the filtration system to run continuously
through the freeze period. Typically, during light freeze conditions, circulating water
will not freeze.
u
In areas where freezing conditions are prevalent, please refer to winterizing instructions following this
section.
SEASONAL USE & SHUT DOWN
Failure to properly winterize unit may result in freeze damage to the heat pump. Freeze damage is not
covered under the unit warranty.
Failure to heed the following may result in damage to equipment
and/or property.
CAUTION !
While the plumbing connections are in the winterized condition (not fully tightened), it is imperative pool-spa
water not be circulated through the heat pump. Loss of water through loose plumbing connections may
result in damage to circulating pump, pool-spa structure, and/or other equipment.
Failure to heed the following can result in damage to equipment
and/or property.
CAUTION !
Winterizing (Hard Freeze Conditions)
Maintaining Proper Clearances Around Heater
u
For maximum efficiency, proper air flow clearances around heater must be maintained.
u
It is important to keep the area around your heat pump clear of items such as shrubs and bushes, lawn
furniture, chemicals containers, etc. These items can prevent air from circulating properly through the
heater, and will result in inefficient operation or damage to components inside the heat pump. Do not
place objects on top of the heat pump; doing so will block the air from exiting the heater, and will result
in damage to the compressor and fan motor.
u
Proper clearances are also necessary in order to access the working parts of your heater. A heater that
is easy to "get to", will be a heater that is easy to maintain; service and maintenance personnel will thank
you for keeping the area around your heater unobstructed.
u
Please see:
Installation, Service, and Operational Clearances,
for specific spacing requirements.
