INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on purchasing the most advanced high efficiency,
microprocessor-controlled pool and spa heat pump available. Your heater
has been manufactured with the most state-of-the-art quality control
equipment available today to ensure the highest quality product delivered to
your door. A heat pump pool heater is a highly efficient, cost effective
method of pool heating. Proper operation and care will result in many years
of swimming enjoyment and pleasure.
Your new pool heater is a self-contained unit designed specifically for
swimming pool and spa heating. It utilizes the sun’s free energy by
extracting heat from the sun-warmed air and transferring it efficiently to the
pool water. Because your pool heater moves the free heat from the
outside air to the pool, rather than create heat, as a fossil fuel or electric
resistance heater does, it can heat your swimming pool or spa for up to
80% less cost than these other less efficient methods.
As with all pool heating methods, you are advised to utilize a pool cover at
night and when the pool is not in use. The pool cover should be used if the
night temperature is 15
°
F (8
°
C) less than the desired pool temperature.
This will keep evaporation, the greatest source of heat loss, to a minimum,
greatly reducing the overall pool heating costs. During warmer weather,
the pool cover may not be required.
Your pool and spa heater combines simplicity with trouble-free
performance. As with most appliances, an understanding of proper
operation of the heater is important. Proper installation and operation
increases efficiency and reduces heating costs. Your pool heater is
designed with features that make it simple to operate, maintain and service.
Proper installation enhances these features and minimizes problems. This
manual will provide you with the information needed to properly install,
operate and maintain your heater.
