Condensate tray defrost
Condensate tray defrost ensures protection of the tray against frost. This is created in the case the
heat pump works in subzero ambient air temperatures. When heat pump defreezes itself, water drops
are flowing from the evaporator fins into the condensate tray. In the case, the tray is not equipped
with active defrost, gathered water continuously transforms into ice. In the case the ice reaches the
evaporator, it can cause its damage. Condensate tray defrost is a heating spiral which is attached onto
the tray.
Please be advised that local ambient air temperature around your condensing unit may be lower than
the one measured for example at the external wall of your house. This may be caused by various
factors (for example wind). Please be advised that connection water piping outside of the water heat
exchanger is not protected by the heat exchanger frost protection. Heat exchanger frost protection is
automatically regulated. It turns itself on if the ambient air temperature decreases below 2°C. Power
consumption is 64W. In the case the heat pump will not be used in winter time, along with
winterizing, it is suggested to turn the heat pump’s circuit breaker off in order to avoid unecessary
energy consumption. Condensate tray frost protection is on demand and is not supplied with each
heat pump by standard.

Protection cover
Protection cover /braced up PVC/ is designed for heat pump coverage for a period when the heat
pump is not in operations (it is winterized or water is removed from heat exchanger and the electricity
is disconnected). Protection cover should be put onto the heat pump from above and should be fixed
with a string at the bottom against wind. It is strictly forbidden to turn the heat pump on and operate
it with the protection cover on. This situation would cause insufficient amount of air (energy) for heat
pumps operations which would lead to almost none performance both by heating and cooling. This
situation would almost immediately lead to heat pump overheating which could cause a malfunction,
damage or a complete failure of the heat pump. Warranty does not cover any heat pump damage or
other damage caused by heat pump operations with the protection cover on.

HINTS AND TIPS
7.1
Water condensation
It is normal to have water dropping or leaking from the evaporator during heat pump operations,
particularly during heating. During heating, the evaporator is normally cold. It can easily reach dew
point conditions. Dew point means that at given air temperature and relative humidity any surface
that is of below dew point temperature condensates the water from surrounding air.
Condensation can result even in liters of water being leaked out of the heat pump. If you suspect a
leak on water circuit, as a first step it is advised to check if it is condensation. The condesated water
flows over the evaporator lamellas into the casing base. Then flows out through a plastic fitting
designed for connection to the ¾“ PVC tube by which the condensate can be taken to an appropriate
drain.
1.
Turn off the device and leave only the swimming pool pump (circulation pump) in operation.
If the water stops to flow out, then it is condensing water.
2.
Test, whether there is any chlorine or salt found in the outflowing water (if chlorine or salt are
used). If there is no chlorine or salt, then it is a condensate.
