Condensation: Since the Heat pump cools down the air about 4 -5 , water may condense on
the fins of the horseshoe shaped evaporator. If the relative humidity is very high, this could
be as much as several litres an hour. The water will run down the fins into the basepan and
drain out through the barbed plastic condensation drain fitting on the side of the basepan.
This fitting is designed to accept 20mm clear vinyl tubing which can be pushed on by hand
and run to a suitable drain. It is easy to mistake the condensation for a water leak inside the
unit.
NB: A quick way to verify that the water is condensation is to shut off the unit and keep the
pool pump running. If the water stops running out of the basepan, it is condensation. AN
EVEN QUICKER WAY IS to TEST THE DRAIN WATER FOR CHLORINE - if the is no chlorine
present, then it's condensation.
5.5 Swimming Pool Heat Pumps Electrical Wiring
NOTE: Although the unit heat exchanger is electrically isolated from the rest of the unit, it
simply prevents the flow of electricity to or from the pool water. Grounding the unit is still
required to protect you against short circuits inside the unit.
5.6 Initial startup of the Unit
NOTE: In order for the unit to heat the pool or spa, the filter pump must be running to
circulate water through the heat exchanger.
Start up Procedure - After installation is completed, you should follow these steps:
1. Turn on your filter pump. Check for water leaks and verify flow to and from the pool.
2. Turn on the electrical power supply to the unit, then press the key ON/OFF of wired
controller, It should start in several seconds.
3. After running a few minutes make sure the air leaving the top(side) of the unit is
cooler (Between 5 ~ 10
℃
).
4. With the unit operating turn the filter pump off. The unit should also turn off automatically.
Time Delay- The unit is equipped with a 3 minute built-in solid state restart delay included to
protect control circuit components and to eliminate restart cycling and contactor chatter.
This time delay will automatically restart the unit approximately 3 minutes after each control
circuit interruption.
