Introduction

This  manual  contains  important  information  on  the
use,  maintenance  and  troubleshooting  of  your  new
heat  pump  pool  heater.  This  unit  must  be  properly
installed,  maintained  and  operated  for  optimal  per-
formance. 

This heat pump pool heater is an extremely efficient,
economical  machine  designed  specifically  for  swim-
ming pool heating. It is similar in design and operation
to a typical residential air conditioning system. The unit
employs a hermetic motor/compressor operating in a
refrigeration cycle to extract heat from ambient air and
deliver it to the circulating pool water.

As with all heat pump pool heaters, compared to other
types  of  heaters  such  as  gas  or  oil-fired,  this  heat
pump  pool  heater  has  lower  heating  capacity  on  a
BTUH/hr basis. As a result, it will be required to oper-
ate longer to accomplish the desired results. It may, at
certain times, operate as much as 24 hours per day.
However, this should not be of concern to the owner,
because the unit is designed to operate continuously.
Even  though  it  may  operate  continuously  for  many
hours,  it  will  still  heat  the  pool  with  greater  economy
than other types of fossil fuel heaters.

Place  a  cover  or  blanket  over  the  pool  at  night  and
other non-use periods. This will keep evaporation, the
cause of main heat loss, to a minimum, and will great-
ly reduce pool heating costs. During warmer weather,
the cover may be required only at night.

Installation Considerations

Situate  the  heat  pump  pool  heater  carefully  to  mini-
mize  installation  costs  while  providing  maximum
efficiency of operation, and to allow adequate service
access, as follows:

• 

For  unrestricted  air  intake  and  service  access,
position each side of the unit at least 1 ft (30 cm)
from walls, pipes and other obstructions.

• 

Recirculation  of  cold  discharge  air  back  into  the
evaporator coil will greatly reduce the unit’s heat-
ing capacity and efficiency.

• 

This unit features an ‘up-flow’ discharge for quiet
operation. Air is pulled up through the evaporator
coil and discharged through the top grill. Allow at
least 5 ft (1.5 m) clearance above the unit for unre-
stricted  air  discharge. 

DO NOT

install  the  unit

under a porch or deck. Refer to Fig. 1.

• 

To minimize water piping, locate the unit as close
as possible to the existing pool pump and filter.

WARNING:

This pool/spa heat pump pool heater is

an  electromechanical  machine  that  incorporates  a
pressurized  refrigerant  gas  in  a  sealed  system.
ONLY  trained  and  qualified  service  personnel  are
authorized  to  install  or  service  this  equipment.
Without  proper  training  and  knowledge  of  such
equipment, any attempt to install or service the unit
could result in serious injury or even death.

WARNING:

Do not install the unit within 3 ft of

fossil  fuel  burning  heaters. Air  intake  along  the
sides of this heat pump pool heater could disturb
the  combustion  process  of  the  unit,  and  could
cause damage or personal injury.

• Mount the unit on a level, sturdy base, preferably a
concrete slab or blocks. The size of the base should
be at least 3 ft by 3 ft.

• You must install the 4 black rubber sound iso-
lation pads (each 2 inches square) that ship with
the unit. The pads are shipped in a bag with the
unions, gaskets and the I&O manual. Install pads
under the 4 corners of the unit to reduce vibra-
tion and sound transmission to the base.

CAUTION:

The unit’s supporting base must be high

enough to keep it completely free of standing water
at all times.

WARNING:

This unit is designed for outdoor instal-

lation; 

DO NOT

install it in an enclosed area such as

a shed or garage.
