12�0 WINTERISATION PROCEDURE
WARNING. Isolate machine before opening! As heat pump embodies electrical and rotational
equipment, it is recommended for your own safety that a competent person carries out the
following procedure.
(Drain Down Procedure)
ALL MODELS
Objective
To provide frost protection
To eliminate corrosion problems
To inhibit electrical components
1. Switch off electrical supply to heat pump.
2. Remove external fuses and keep in safe place away
from heat pump to prevent accidental operation of
heat pump.
3. Ensure water circulation pump is switched off.
4. Drain water from heat pump by:
a) Drain valve if fitted.
b) Disconnecting pipework to and from heat pump.
c) Remove condenser drain down cover.
d) Flush through water circuit in heat pump by using
CLEAN TAP WATER (NOT POOL WATER) via hose into
outlet connection – run for 10 minutes minimum, use
spray nozzle if available.
e) Allow to drain – fit plastic bags secured by elastic
bands over water connections.
5. Uncover electrical enclosure (page 13) and
liberally spray interior of unit, with moisture repellant
aerosol WD-40 or similar, reseal enclosure.
6. If heat pump located outside, protect from weather
by covering with VENTILATED cover. A bespoke
cover is available. Do not use plastic sheet as
condensation can occur within unit.
If this procedure is not adopted and frost or corrosion damage results
then the warranty will become invalid.
