5.5 Adequate Water Flow
All Oasis heat pumps have a factory preset internal water
fl
ow switch. If there is insu
ffi
cient water
fl
ow the
heater will not operate.
It is CRITICAL that there is su
ffi
cient water
fl
ow to the unit. Incorrect water
fl
ow can cause a loss of e
ffi
ciency and
possible damage to the unit. Op
ti
mal water
fl
ow rates are listed in the Oasis manual. It is impera
ti
ve that water
fl
ow is kept as close as possible to these
fl
ow rates. Correct water
fl
ow not only o
ff
ers op
ti
mal heater performance,
but may also prevent possible damage to your heater.
Before connec
ti
ng the heater to the plumbing, all piping must be thoroughly
fl
ushed to ensure no debris can enter
the heater. Failure to remove pipe debris can jam or damage the
fl
ow switch and may cause damage to the heater.
When cleaning the pool it is advisable to turn o
ff
your heater as restricted water
fl
ow may cause the heater to shut
down and indicate low water
fl
ow fault (E03 error) or high pressure fault (E01 Error).
IMPORTANT: A Variable speed pump or bypass valve and plumbing MUST be
fitt
ed to allow water
fl
ow to be
adjusted through the heater. Do not direct connect a water pump with higher
fl
ow than required to the heat
pump.
5.6 Rubber Feet
All Oasis units are provided with rubber feet which we highly recommend being installed. The rubber feet help
reduce vibra
ti
on of the unit and help provide a space below the heat pump to install the drainage barbs.
5.7 Condensate Drain Barb
Fit the condensate drain barb into the 2 holes under the unit if you
need to direct water away from the heater. Put in hot water if s
tiff
.
5.8 Drainage & Condensa
ti
on
Whilst the heater is opera
ti
ng, water in the air condenses on the
fi
ns of the evaporator. In the instance of high
humidity, the condensate may be several litres per hour. This may give the impression that the heater is leaking,
however this is a normal func
ti
on of heat pumps.
The heater will automa
ti
cally ac
ti
vate reverse cycle or de-icing mode when required which also increases condensate
discharge. This normally occurs at temperatures below 8 deg C. The condensate water will discharge through the
base of the heater. As an op
ti
on a pipe can be connected to the drain on the base of the unit to direct condensate
water to an appropriate loca
ti
on.
NOTE: A quick way to verify that the water is condensa
ti
on is to shut o
ff
the unit and keep the pool pump running. If
the water stops running out of the basepan, it is condensa
ti
on. AN EVEN QUICKER WAY IS to TEST THE DRAIN WATER
FOR CHLORINE – if the is no chlorine present, then it’s condensa
ti
on.
