SERVICING THE HEAT PUMP
ITS heat pumps are designed to be virtually maintenance free but due to external factors (water
quality, air quality, accumulation of dirt of leaves on the evaporator) the units needs to be
serviced at least one per year. The service mostly entails the cleaning of certain components and
making sure all parameters are within specification thereby ensuring that the machine will have a
long lifetime. When it comes to the servicing of an ITS heat pump, this must be done by an
accredited ITS installer. Failure to have the unit serviced an accredited ITS installer may result in
the warranty being made null and void.
LOOKING AFTER YOUR HEAT PUMP
•
Always ensure that your heat pump is kept clean of debris (leaves and other items) which
may obstruct the inlet / outlet vents.
•
Always ensure the unit is switched off when you wish to remove items which are stuck in
the vent etc.
•
Should you wish to go on holiday for periods longer than 2 – 3 months, it is always
recommended that you set the timer to switch the unit on for a few minutes every day.
Doing this will prevent the pump from becoming stagnant.
•
Keep shrubs pruned back at least 50cm around all sides of the heat pump.
•
We can’t re-iterate it enough how important it is for you to have your heat pump serviced
at least once a year. This will pro long the life span of the heat pump ensuring you are
guaranteed years of water heating savings.

ADVANCED RUST PROTECTION
BLUCHEM TREATMENT
The ITS 4.7kW domestic heat pump has a plastic shell which makes the installation along coastal
areas a lot less prone to corrosion. The evaporator coil however is still exposed and so for
installations along the coast or near to the ocean (20-35km radius) ITS Solar highly recommend
that all heat pumps be coated with BluChem or other ITS approved anti-corrosion coating.
For more information on BluChem please visit:

The application of a high quality corrosive resistant coating such as BluChem will -
•
Reduce electricity cost due to effective unit operation.
•
Reduced overall maintenance cost.
•
Lengthen product life expectancy of the outdoor unit.
