Water quality
The water quality must be within the range: Chlorine concentration: less than 1.5 ppm = mg / l; PH level: 7 to 8
In the event of heavy shock treatment, the equipment must be shut off with the bypass valves. After finishing the
treatment, return the bypass valves to their original position.
VERY IMPORTANT: Failure to maintain the concentration levels of chemicals within the indicated ranges will
invalidate the warranty.
Do not spray chemicals (chlorine, acid, etc.) directly into the filter of the filter pump. The substance can
be highly corrosive, which can cause irreparable damage to the device.
Heating
Temperature rise phase
Before starting the pool at the beginning of the season:
- Isolate the heat pump from the filtration system:
- Close the bypass valves.
- Open the valve on the main pipe to the pool.
- Then carry out all standard operations (water filling, rinsing filter, etc.).
- Start the filter pump.
- Start the pool heat pump, set the temperature, set the water flow, open the bypass valves.
- Cover the pool with solar foil or another cover.
- Leave the pool and the heat pump in continuous operation until the water temperature in the pool has reached
the desired level (this will take approx. 36 hours up to 1 week).
Do not forget to set the water flow and the required temperatures.
The time it takes for the pool water temperature to rise depends on the pool's exposure to wind and sun, the pool
surroundings and the size of the heat pump.
Maintaining the temperature
After reaching the set temperature, the filtration time can be shortened according to the temperature requirements
(minimum 8 to 10 hours a day in the summer season). The heat pump restarts automatically if required.
The minimum working hours depend on the season; please contact your dealer for more information.
If the temperature drops and the device always works when the filter pump is running, please extend the filtration
time. A thermal tarpaulin is very important to avoid unnecessary heat loss.
IMPORTANT: An uncovered pool will lose 4 times more heat than a covered pool.
The heat pump operation is based on the assumption that the pool is covered.
Maintenance (by a qualified technician)
Before starting maintenance and connecting pressure regulators, shut down the heat pump completely for a few
minutes. High pressure and temperature inside the pump can cause personal injury.
Mandatory monthly checks:
Check and clean the evaporator (with a soft brush or a jet of water).
Do not use high pressure cleaners.
•
Check all electrical and ground connections.
•
Check that all electrical connections and terminals are properly connected.
•
Check the gas pressure (when the heat pump is off, the pressure gauge must show a pressure above 0.5).
Mandatory annual inspections:
•
Check the settings.
•
Check the security features.
•
Check all electrical connections and grounding.
•
Check the cleanliness of the capacitor.
•
Wash the heat pump casing with a mild soap and water solution.
Do not use solvents.
