Pool Heat Pump
Compressor starts and stops
1. Check that the unit has been installed correctly (refer to installation procedures).
2. Check that the water inlet and outlet of the unit have not been connected incorrectly.
There is water around the pool heat pump
It is a normal occurrence for water condensation, to be seen running from the unit base.
There will be on average 1 to 1.5 gallons (4 to 6 litres) of condensed water per hour being
discharged from the unit base. In order to avoid water accumulation, you may use decorative
rocks around the concrete slab or a basin under the unit. Be sure that clearances around
the unit are respected.
To test the unit and confirm you have no pool water leaking from the unit perform the
following test which is best performed early in the morning and continuing for the whole
day:
1. Turn off the pool heat pump from the circuit breaker and the pool pump.
2. Open the bypass valve. (refer to drawing on page 5)
3. Close the
IN
and
OUT
water valves on the unit.
4. Restart the pool pump. The pool heat pump must remain
OFF
.
5. When all of the water around the base of the pool heat pump has dried, open the water
IN
and water
OUT
valves on the pool heat pump.
6. Close the bypass valve to allow full water flow through the pool heat pump.
If water is now seen running from the outside of the pool heat pump or inside the pool heat
pump after a short period of time you should call for service. If no water is seen after a short
period of time it would be assumed the water was condensation which is normal.
4. If the compressor is functioning, but shuts off immediately, consult the following section
“ Compressor Starts and Stops “.
5. If the problem persists, call Waterco.
