Changing the Set Point Temperature
To change the set point temperature, press the SET button until either POL or SPA is displayed. The programmed
temperature will be displayed. Press either the UP or DOWN arrows to change the set point temperature. After
adjusting to the desired temperature setting, the display will revert to the actual pool water temperature after five
seconds. The default factory setting is “OFF”.
Heater Operating Time
It is the owner’s responsibility to adequately set the pool pump run time to heat the pool. On colder days, the pool
pump run time will need to be extended. The heater requires longer run time in colder weather. The heater is
capable of running 24 hours per day if necessary. When you first run your heater, it may need to run continuously for
24 to 48 hours to get the pool up to the desired temperature. On warmer days the heater will not require as long of a
run time because there will be less heat loss from the pool.
Initial Startup
Before starting the heater for the first time, it is important to verify that the dedicated circuit breaker and/or the
service disconnect are in the “ON” position. Also make sure that the water is circulating freely through the heater and
that the pump is activated.
You will then need to set the water temperature to your desired set point. The heater will start after a three minute
time delay if the desired set point is higher than the actual pool water temperature.
Defrost Cycle
The heater is designed to enter the defrost cycle at ambient air temperatures below 48
Fahrenheit. During this cycle,
the unit may shut down and the control will display “FS” until the ambient air temperature rises above frosting
conditions.
Condensation and Drainage
Normal heat pump operation will result in water draining from the bottom of the heater. This is due to the evaporator
coil condensing water from the humid air. Condensate water will drain out through the drain holes located in the base
pan. Your heater typically produces 3 to 5 gallons of water per hour. When the heater is shut off for a period of time,
the water created from condensation will evaporate.
Using an External Controller
Push the remote wires from the external controller through the rubber plug on the bottom left side of the control
box.
Connect the two remote wires to the two wires from the heater control with the grey wire nuts.
For POOL/SPA Remote – Adjust both pool and spa temperature’s to your desired setting.
For Remote Thermostat – Adjust pool temperature down to “OFF” and turn spa temperature up to 104° F.
For 3 wire remote controls, use 2 wires connected to COM & HIGH at the external controller.
