B. UNIT IS NOT RUNNING 

 

Is the control panel 

Power 

lamp ON? If not, the circuit breaker may be shut OFF or tripped. 

Reset the breaker by switching it OFF, then back ON. 

Verify that the breaker is set and 

operating properly before calling for service. 

 

Is the thermostat setting and the Heat-Reomte-Cool switch in the proper position? Verify that 
the temperature has been properly set on the thermostat, and that it is 

higher 

than the current 

water temperature. 

 Water Flow 

is water flowing through the unit? Improperly positioned valves or a dirty 

filter could decrease the flow of water required for efficient operation. 

 

Have you waited approximately 5 minutes for the time delay? After the unit has been 
running and then shut OFF for any reason, there is a delay before operation can begin again. 

 

Is the 

Heat 

lamp ON? If not, then the thermostat setting is not higher than the 

temperature of the water. Raise the thermostat setting. 

C. CONDENSATION SEEMS EXCESSIVE 

Heat pumps can produce a large amount of condensation (water) during operation. If you suspect 
that the heat pump is leaking: 

a.

 

Use a pool chemistry test kit to confirm there is no chlorine in the condensation. 

Or, 

b.

 

Shut the heat pump OFF and leave the filter pump running to see if the water stops 

dripping. If the water stops dripping, the heat pump is 

not 

leaking. 

XII. Service Call Verification 

Before you make a service call, 

first 

determine if the problem is: 

 

Warranty Service 

 

Heat pump operation (power supply, water flow, or time clock adjustment) 

NOTE: The MANUFACTURER IS NOT RESPONSIBLE for these adjustments. 

POWER SUPPLY 

 

Verify that all circuit breakers are reset and working properly. 

 

If the 

Power 

lamp on the control panel still does not light, contact the installing dealer, 

since it may be a power problem requiring an electrician. 

WATER FLOW 

 

Verify that the pool filter is clean to provide good flow. 

 

Verify that valves are properly positioned to allow adequate water flow through the heat 
pump. 

 

Verify that all valves are positioned correctly. 

TIME CLOCK ADJUSTMENT 

Verify that the time clock is set to permit the unit to run long enough to heat properly.
