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
it is vital that the evaporator is 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.
Winterizing
If the pool heat pump is stored in a place where the temperature drops below the freezing
point of 0˚C (32°F); it is
mandatory that the water accumulated in the pool heat pump
be drained completely before freezing weather prevails. Improper winterizing may
damage the pool heat pump and will void the warranty.
• Turn the pool heat pump
“OFF”.
• Turn the pool heat pump breaker
“OFF”
.
• The water piping
MUST
be disconnected to drain the pool heat pump’s heat exchanger
in preparation for winter.
• Once the piping is disconnected, the pool heat pump’s heat exchanger
MUST
be
emptied; the use of a water vacuum cleaner is strongly recommended or if you do not
have this tool you can tilt the unit (75˚) until all the water is out.
• It is recommended that pool heat pump’s heat exchanger is rinsed out with a gentle
water spray at the inlet and outlet water connections of the pool heat pump and then
drain the heat exchanger again.
• With the help of 2 pool return winter plugs, block the water Inlet and Outlet connections
to prevent access by vermin.
• Clean the drainage holes located at the bottom of the base of the unit.
• Unit may be covered for the winter.
• It is also possible to fill the heat exchanger with pool anti-freeze, but ensure that the
antifreeze contains an elevated pH to prevent corrosion. This is optional and requires
appropriate hardware.
