CAUSE

WHAT TO DO

WATER FLOW 
ERROR
CHECK 
WATER FLOW
INSIDE HEAT 
PUMP

The water flow 

inside the heat 
pump is 
insufficient;

The bypass 

valves are in the 
wrong position;

There is no 

water circulation 
inside the heat 
pump;

The flow 

switch is 
defective.

Make sure the 

circulating pump 
works;

Make sure the 

bypass valves are 
properly positioned;

Check the skimmer 

(no obstruction).

DEFROST 
MODE

The heat pump 

is in de-icing
mode. This Is 
Normal if outside 
temperatures are 
low

Wait until the end of 

the de-icing cycle. 
The heat pump will 
restart automatically.

ERROR
LOW
REFRIGERANT
PRESSURE

Ventilation on 

the evaporator is 
insufficient

The fan does 

not work

Refrigerant 

leak

The outside 

temperature is 
too low  

Check that the 

evaporator is not 
obstructed by pollen, 
grass, leaves; see the 
user’s  manual for 
safety and 
maintenance tips;

Be sure there is 

enough free space 
around the heat pump 
(see the Installation 
Guide);

Check that the fan 

is powered ON

LOW 
PRESSURE
FAILED 3 
TIMES
IN 1 HOUR
RESET THE 
BREAKER

The heat pump 

low switch has 
cut off three (3) 
times in the 
same hour for 
one of the 
reasons 
above.(code LP)

The heat pump will 

not re-start after one 
of the protection 
devices shuts it down 
for the third time in 
the same hour

Close the circuit 

breaker to reset the 
heat pump

Check whether 

there is adequate
