to the proper operation of the heater .
1. WA TER FLOW
Make sure all pool filters and traps are clean since the unit requires a minimum water
flow in order to operate properly . The heater should and will not run unless the water
pump is running. There is an internal water pressure switch that disables the heater
whenever the water pump is not supplying water flow.
2. WA TER PUMP TIMER SETTING
Since the heat pump collects heat from the outside air , you want to set the water pump
timer to run during the hottest part of the day . If you are heating the pool from “dead
cold” you may need to set the water pump timer to run 24 hours until the pool reaches
temperature, then reset the timer for a normal run time. Run tim es are determined by
pool size, set pool/spa temperature and weather conditions.
3. THERMOSTA T SETTING & MODE

current water temperature. T o set the desired water temperature
press either the + or - thermostat buttons. While adjusting the
set temperature, the LED will flash. The flashing numbers will
indicate the thermostat setting.
If you have a spa you can press the spa mode button and set the desired spa temperature.
If you do not have a spa use the pool mode only .
4. OPTIONAL TIME CLOCK OVERRIDE SWITCH
The optional “Time Clock Override” control you can set the switch turn this switch
ON and the heater will start the water filter pump automatically whenever the water
temperature drops below the thermostat setting.
This option is best used when heating the pool from “dead cold” and for

switch is best left in the OFF position during the warmer parts of the
swimming season. The optional time clock override feature is built into
the heater at the factory and can not be added later . See the bottom of page 4 also.

6. NORMAL OPERA TION INDICATORS
When the fan and compressor are running, the unit will dischar ge cool air from the top. The
heater will produce condensation while running and is considered normal. It will produce more
condensation the more humid the ambient air is. The condensation will exit the heater through
the bottom drain ports.
7. POOL/SPA COVER USE
You can substantially reduce the heat loss and electrical consumption by utilizing a pool cover or
pool blanket. Y ou can get higher water temperatures in less operational time using a cover. If you
keep the pool or spa covered whenever you are not swimming you can typically reduce heat loss
by as much as 80% and reduce heating costs as much as 50%. Using a cover during the initial
heat up period will greatly reduce the operational time needed.
8. SPA HEATING
When heating a spa it is advisable to not run the air blower or air inlet venturis during the initial
heat up time. Air blowers and venturis inject air into the water to create the spa therapy action.
During colder weather the air blower or inlet venturis will inject cold air into the spa thus increas -
ing heat demand. Leaving these items of f until the spa reaches the set tem perature will reduce the
heat up time. A cover is highly suggested for spa heating.
9. DEFROST CONTROL IN COLD WEA THER
DF T his re ado ut ind ica tes th at the in ter nal d efr ost sa fet y c ont rol h as dis abl ed the
heater. During cold weather where the air temperature drops below approximately 45
to 50 degrees (depending on humidity), the low refrigerant pressure switch (or defrost
control) is designed to disable the compressor only . Once the unit is in defrost mode the
compressor will shut of f for 1 hour while the fan continues to help deice and warm the
air coil. After 1 hour the unit will attempt to restart. If the air tem perature has increased
to the operational range the compressor will continue to run, ot her wis e th e c om pre sso r

wait for warmer weather to restart the heater . If you live in an area where the weather
is expected to drop below 45˚F to 50˚F for an extended period you should disable the
heater during those times.
