If you have purchased a remote control (or other equipment), make sure this equipment 
was properly installed. If the problem originates from the installation of this equipment, 
Waterco’s warranty will not apply and you will have to pay the cost of the service call.

1.  The amperage of the circuit breaker AND the electrical wiring must be as the instructions  

on the pool heat pump name plate, otherwise notify your installer or electrician to 
correct this problem, as this is not covered under the warranty.

2.  If the circuit breaker and electrical wiring are as stated, make sure the drains, located 

on each side of the base of the pool heat pump are not obstructed.
