ECO+ series swimming pool heat pumps
4.4 Control
The ECO+ heat pumps are designed and constructed to provide long performance life when installed
and operated properly under normal conditions. Periodic inspections are important to keep your heat
pump running safely and efficiently through the years.
The following basic guidelines are suggested for your inspection:
1.
Make sure the front of the unit is accessible for future service.
2.
Keep the surrounding areas of the heat pump clear of all debris.
3.
Keep all plants and shrubs trimmed and away from the heat pump.
4.
Keep lawn sprinkler heads from spraying on the heat pump to prevent corrosion and damage.
Use a deflector if needed.
5.
If the unit is installed under a very sharp roof pitch or under a roof without a gutter, a gutter or
diverter should be fitted to prevent excessive water from pouring down onto the unit.
6.
Do not use the heat pump if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualified
professional technician to inspect the heat pump and replace any part of the control system,
which has been submerged.
The heat pump will produce condensation (water) while in operation. The heat pump base is designed
to allow the condensation to exit through the bottom drain port. The condensation will increase as the
outdoor air humidity level increases. Visually inspect and clear the bottom drain port of any debris that
could clog the port.
The WG heat pump can easily produce 10 to 20 liters of condensation. Stop the unit in case you feel
that more water is being generated and wait for one hour to check for leakage inside.
NOTE: A quick way to verify that the water running trough the drain is condensation water is to
shut off the unit and keep the pool pump running. If the water stops running out of the base pan,
it is condensation water. AN EVEN QUICKER WAY - TEST THE DRAIN WATER FOR
CHLORINE - if there is no chlorine present, then it's condensation.
Make sure that the air intake and exhaust are free from any restriction. Avoid that the cold exhaust air
gets sucked back into the unit.
