OPERATION OF YOUR POOL HEAT PUMP 

Protection Devices 

 
The integrity and performance of your pool heat pump and its components are protected by 

internal  safety  controls.    In  normal  use,  your Waterco  unit  should  never  reach  the  thermal 

protection  level.    However,  if  it  should  happen,  you  should  identify  the  stated  code  on  the 
temperature display and refer to the section “Service Analyser Codes”.

 

 

       

IMPORTANT 

 

 

Functioning of Timer Controlling your Pool Pump 
 

Note:  This  option  could  be  install  with  all  our  product  by  following  our 
recommendations.  
 
When a timer is use on a pool pump the unit will stop on the flow switch protection 
and the digital displays will show nFL until the timer restart the pool pump. 
 
IMPORTANT: If you using this option take note than the unit will be heat the pool only 
when the timer allowed the pool pump to work. 

 

 

 

Adjustment of the Bypass Valves 

 
The adjustment may vary according to pool pump size and ambient temperatures. 

 

ATTENTION:  IT  IS  VERY  IMPORTANT  THAT  THE  BYPASS  VALVES  ARE  SET  AS 
DESCRIBED BELOW FOR THE CORRECT FUNCTION OF YOUR POOL HEAT PUMP.

When the pool water 

temperature is between 65 

°F (18 °C) and 70 °F (21 

°C), please adjust the 

bypass valve as shown. 

 

Approx. 60% of the water 

is circulating in the unit. 

When the pool water 

temperature is between 70 

°F (21 °C) and 78 °F (26 

°C), please adjust the 

bypass valve as shown. 

 

Approx. 80% of the water 

is circulating in the unit. 

When the pool water 

temperature is above 79 

°F (26 °C), please close 

the bypass valve as 

shown. 

100% of the water is 

circulating in the unit. 

 

 
 
IMPORTANT  :  If  your  unit  does  not  stop  on  the  nFL  code  but  in  HP  code  your  flow  
switch  can be adjust  to  result  this  situation.  This  adjustment was not covered  by  the 
warranty.

 

 

 

 

 

Installation of a remote control

 

 
 

Note:  This  system  could  be  install  with  all  our  product  by  following  our 
recommendations.  

 
 

When a remote control is use on your pool heat pump the unit stop completely, when the unit 
was  stopped  by  the  remote  control  (blank  electronic  control)  until  the  remoter  control  will 
restart the system. 
 
 

IMPORTANT  :  If  you  would  like  to  use  this  system  it  must  be  install  by  an  authorize 
service center otherwise warranty could be avoid. 

 

 

Example: 

 

If you program a cycle of 8 hours of your pool pump (twice cycle of 4 hours) the unit will be 
allowed to heat the water only in this period. If you have program your electronic control at 

82  °F  (28  °C)

  and  the  temperature  of  the  pool  is 

70  °F  (21  °C)

  the  time  to  reach  the 

temperature require will be dr

amatically extended. That’s why we strongly suggest at the 

beginning  of  the  season  to  not  use  the  timer  until  the  desire  temperature  will  be  reach 
before using this timer.
