❸ Maintenance
3.1 I Winterizing
• Winterizing is essential if the heat pump is shut down during the winter period. In this case,
it is necessary to prepare all the circuits for winter to avoid damaging the condenser and/or
plate heat exchanger, its circulating pump and electric heater, due to frost. This is not covered
by the warranty.
• To avoid damaging the appliance with condensation, do not fully cover it.
• Disconnect the electrical supply.
• Open the valve
; see diagram “1.2 I Hydraulic connections”,
• Close the valves , , and and open the valves and
(if fitted),
•
Check to make sure that there is no water circulating in the two circuits of the heat pump,
•
Drain the pool water and dehumidifier water circuits (risk of freezing) by unscrewing the water inlet and outlet
connections on the back of the heat pump,
•
In the event of full winterizing of the pool (complete shutdown of the filtration system, draining the filtration circuit
or even draining the pool): retighten the two connections by one turn to prevent any debris entering the heat pump
circuits,
•
If winterizing the heat pump only (shutdown of the heating only and filtration continues to run): do not retighten
the connections, but fit the plugs (provided) onto the water inlets and outlets of the condenser and heat exchanger.
3.2 I Maintenance
• It is recommended that a general maintenance operation is carried out on the appliance at
least once a year to ensure proper operation, to maintain performance levels and to potentially
prevent any faults.
• According to the legislation applicable in the country in which the appliance is installed, an
inspection of the cooling system may be required on a regular basis. Please contact your
retailer.
• These operations are carried out at the expense of the user and some operations must be
carried out by a qualified technician.
3.2.1 Maintenance to be carried out by the user
•
Check to make sure that the ventilation grille is not blocked by debris.
•
Clean the evaporator (for location see § “5.3 I Dimensions and marking”) using a soft brush and a fresh water spray
(disconnect the power cable); do not bend the metal fins.
•
Do not use a high-pressure water jet. Do not spray the appliance with salt water, or water full of minerals.
•
Clean the outside of the appliance. Do not use any solvent-based products. We can provide you with a specific cleaning
kit available as an option: PAC NET, see § “5.1 I Description”.
3.2.2 Maintenance to be carried out by a qualified technician
•
Check that the control system is operating correctly.
•
Check that the condensates flow correctly when the appliance is in operation.
•
Check the safety components.
•
Check that the metal earths are connected to the earth.
•
Check that the electrical cables are correctly tightened and connected and check the condition and cleanliness of the
electrical cabinet.
•
Check the hydraulic circuits for leaks (pool and dehumidification system).
