Quick Install for your Aqua Logic Delta Star Heat Pump
Unpack your Delta Star Heat Pump:
•
Carefully remove the Heat Pump from the box by reaching underneath the Heat Pump
and lifting it by its base. NEVER lift the Heat Pump by its cover to avoid personal injury or
damage to the Heat Pump (See illustration).
•
Use a Phillips head screwdriver to remove the two screws on opposite ends of the cover.
Place your Aqua Logic water Heat Pump:
•
Place the water Heat Pump on a sturdy flat surface.
•
Make sure that the unit is resting on its base to avoid damage.
•
If you place the Heat Pump in a cabinet, allow at least ½” of space between the Heat
Pump and the walls of the cabinet to avoid vibration and noise.
Delta Star Plumbing:
•
Your Aqua Logic flow-through Heat Pump requires an external water pump (not supplied)
for proper operation.
•
The Heat Pump should be the last piece of equipment in the plumbing before the water is
returned to the tank or sump (after pump and filters).
•
Use male-pipe-thread (MPT) fittings of the diameter below to connect your Heat Pump to
your system. Use the same or larger diameter pipe or hose for your plumbing for best
water flow.
•
We suggest installing unions and ball valves (not included) on the inlet and outlet of the
Heat Pump for easier installation and removal of the Heat Pump from the system for
maintenance or repair (if necessary).
•
Be sure that the water flow through your Aqua Logic Heat Pump goes into the water inlet
(bottom) and out the top to prevent potential damage (see illustration).
•
If you use flexible hose to plumb your system or connect your Heat Pump, make sure
that the hose is not kinked to prevent restricted flow and potential damage to your Heat
Pump.
•
Avoid elbows in your plumbing to minimize flow loss through your system.
•
For most efficient operation, we recommend the minimum and maximum flow rates listed
in the specifications sheet for each model.
•
Do
NOT
operate the Heat Pump without adequate water flow.
Electrical Hookup:
•
We suggest using a dedicated power circuit for best operation and longest life of the Heat Pump. The circuit must be rated to handle the maximum
load of the Heat Pump.
•
We highly recommend that you use a ground-fault interrupter (GFI) to avoid electrical shock. You can obtain an inline GFI from Aqua Logic, a local
hardware store if the outlet in the wall does not have a GFI installed.
•
Avoid using an extension cord on your Heat Pump.
•
Temperature controller installation:
o
Follow the instructions included with the controller to install it.
o
Install the sensor for the controller “upstream” (ahead) of Heat Pump.
o
Plug the Heat Pump into the controller.
o
Plug the controller into the wall outlet.
o
Program or adjust the controller to your desired temperature. (see Heat Pump Controller Programming)
