Page | 3 INTRODUCTION Thank you for your purchase of a Built Right pool and spa heat pump, proudly made in Punta Gorda, Florida. To ensure a long worry-free life, your heat pump has been manufactured with the highest quality parts available today. A pool heat pump is a cost effective method of heating your pool or spa. Your Built Right heat pump will provide you with years of pool enjoyment. Your new heat pump takes heat from the surrounding air and transfers it into the water.
Page | 4 INSTALLATION Location Recommendations Make sure the heat pump is not located where large amounts of water may enter the heater. This includes roof run-off and sprinklers. Re-direct any suspect sprinkler heads away from the heater. Use a deflector if necessary. (Corrosive sprinkler water damage will void the warranty!) In cases where roof run-off is unavoidable, use of a down spout and/or gutters will protect the heater.
Page | 5 Water Piping For your convenience the heater’s inlet and outlet are labeled. 2” PVC Unions are provided with the heater. The piping sequence is as follows: Pool Circulation Pump → Filter → Heater → Chlorinator → Pool To minimize harm to the pool equipment, any inline chlorination device must be located as the last item returning to the pool. Use only rigid PVC piping and all joints should be cleaned then secured with PVC glue.
Page | 6 ELECTRICAL HOOK UP The wiring of your heater should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local code requirements. CAUTION! The main power disconnect must be off before opening the access panel. IMPORTANT! The electrical conduit must be run up through the base of the unit and connected at the control box with a conduit connector. Check the heat pump data label for required breaker size. Copper wire and a properly sized breaker must be used.

Cleaning Your heater requires only minimal maintenance, Make sure the heater has good airflow through the evaporator. To ensure good airflow, remove any leaves, paper or other debris. Also, be sure to keep all shrubs trimmed back from the heater for allowance of sufficient airflow. Make sure the drain holes in the base are free of debris to ensure proper drainage of condensate water.
