MAINTENANCE OF YOUR POOL HEAT PUMP
Waterco pool heat pumps have been specifically engineered to give you years of
satisfaction and enjoyment in the pool.
Cabinet Cleaning
To clean the plastic surfaces use mild soapy water and a soft clean cloth. Never use
solvents or abrasives.
Cleaning Evaporator
The evaporator at the rear of the unit must be kept clean and un-obstructed in order for
your pool heat pump to have better efficiency and avoid problems which may void your
warranty. The dirt collected in the evaporator can be removed with a gentle water spray
and the use of a soft brush. Be careful not to damage the aluminum fins.
Cleaning drainage holes
The condensate drainage holes in the base of the unit must be kept free of debris. Blocked
drainage holes may cause water to collect in the unit and become stagnant or, interfere
with electrical components and wiring.
Issues caused by blocked drainage holes in the base of the unit are not covered under
warranty.
Units Located In Coastal Locations
Care and maintenance procedures for Waterco Pool Heat Pumps installed in coastal
locations.
Exposure to salt may result in evaporator coil damage shortening the life of the equipment.
Bare aluminium fins can deteriorate rapidly depending on a number of factors including
fin design, location of the equipment relative to salt water, and maintenance.
For Waterco pool heat pumps located within one kilometre from the coast a coating must
be applied to the unit prior to site delivery on the evaporator fins and exposed metal
surfaces to reduce the incidence of corrosion.
A monthly rinse with potable water straight from the garden hose connected to the
municipal water system to remove the salt build up on the evaporator coil and exposed
metal surfaces is necessary.
