INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Water Piping
The following piping sequence must be followed without exception: 1-pool pump 2-filter 3-
pool heat pump 4-chlorinator (when installed). Rigid PVC piping is recommended, all joints
should be glued with PVC glue. If rigid PVC is not available, you can use soft or flexible
piping with stainless steel clamps. When the piping installation is complete, operate the pool
pump and check the system for leaks. Then check the filter pressure gauge to see that
excessive pump head pressure is not indicated. NOTE: Units are designed to operate with a
minimum water circulation of 132 LPM/35 GPM.
NOTE: A bypass kit is strongly recommended and should be installed for adjustment
of water flow and ease of service.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT
Electrical
To ensure your safety and ensure the adequate functioning of your pool heat pump,
all
electrical work should be performed by a fully qualified and licensed electrician in
accordance with local electrical codes.
An adequate circuit breaker and copper wiring must be used. This information is available on
the name plate of the pool heat pump. It may be necessary to install a ground circuit
breaker.
IMPORTANT
Plumbing connections
to the pool heat pump
must be made by hand
only, as it may break
the water Inlet or Outlet
connections.
1. Either a 1/3 pound check valve or a loop
MUST
be installed between the pool heat pump
and any automatic chlorinator to prevent highly chlorine concentrated water from flowing
back to the pool heat pump when the pool pump is not running.
2. Units that are located below the water level of the swimming pool may require the
pressure switch to be adjusted.
This can be checked by the following method:
-
Switch
ON
the water pump and the pool heat pump
-
While the pool heat pump is running, switch
OFF
the water pump.
If the pool heat pump shuts down automatically no further action is required.
If the pool heat pump continues to run, you will need to have a qualified technician adjust the
water pressure switch (not under warranty). For further information, please contact Waterco.
