Heat Pump Installation and User’s Guide
Professional Maintenance and Service
The Pentair line of Heat Pumps are some of the most effi cient ways to heat a pool or spa. The heat
pump transfers heat from the outside air to the pool or spa water by means of an internal heat exchanger.
When the fan is turned on, warm air is drawn through the R410A refrigerant charged air coil, turning
the cold liquid refrigerant to a warm gas. The gas then fl ows through the compressor, which increases
the pressure and refrigerant temperature. The hot refrigerant gas enters the water-to-gas heat exchanger
where the water is heated and returned to the pool. During this heat exchange process the refrigerant
is cooled and returned to the air coil and the cycle repeats.
NOTE:
The maximum heat output and effi ciency of a heat pump is dependent upon the quality and
performance of the major components used. Equally important are the environmental conditions (for
example, air temperature, humidity, water temperature, and wind). To maintain maximum performance
and effi ciency, keep the air coil clean from dirt and debris. It is recommended to clean your air coil once
a year by fl ushing the coil with compressed air or hosing off the coil with a garden hose. Care should
be taken to not bend the coil fi ns as this will restrict the airfl ow and lower your heat pump performance.
DO NOT USE A PRESSURE CLEANER ON THE UNIT.
