WATER CHEMISTRY MAINTENANCE Not only is the water chemistry of your pool or spa important to the health of you and your family, it also directly affects the life of your heater. This is the most important item in the maintenance of the heater. If the water chemistry is improperly maintained or if the chemicals are improperly introduced into the water, this will damage the heater’s internal components and could eventually cause a leak, rendering the heater inoperable.
INSTALLATION LOCATION OF HEATER The unit is designed for outdoor installation and shall not be placed in a totally enclosed area such as shed or garage. This will cause recirculation of cold discharge air back into the evaporator coil and will greatly reduce heating capacity and efficiency of the unit. This may void the compressor warranty since it is over working the compressor.

Solar Heat-pump Hybrid System Install Instructions This option will allow the Heat Pump to monitor the performance of the pool’s solar heating system, and will automatically divert the water away from the solar to prevent overheating or cooling of the water Installing Hybrid System: Installing the Recommended) heat pump after the solar: (Factory This form of the Hybrid System is the recommended installation from the factory.
Installing Motorized Valve Automation To The Heat Pump. To install run wires from the actuators into control box of the unit. Then connect the wires to the Pool/Spa valves terminals on top of the board (See Diagram MVA1). Make sure you cam the valves correctly before running water through the system Operation of Automation There are two ways you can operate the automation: Use the MODE button on the unit to switch from Pool to Spa.
HEAT PUMP FEATURES CABINET Your heat pump’s cabinet is made from a maintenance-free, rust-free plastic that is UV resistant. It will last for years and any dirt or dust may be wiped away with a cloth or sprayed off with a water hose. Use only cleaner designed for plastic. CAUTION: DO NOT USE CLEANERS THAT CONTAIN ALCOHOL. CONTROL State-of-the-art Blue LCD readout control display. Displays mode and temperature of the water for ease of operation. No programming to learn.
Heat Pump Features Continued EASY ACCESS The heater was designed for quick and easy access for installation and diagnosis. The service panel is removed with two screws and access to all service connections is right up front and easy to reach. This allows the installation and service to be done quickly and efficiently – so valuable time is not wasted.
POOL/SPA MODES The control is equipped with two independent thermostats, one for pool temperature and one for spa temperature. This is to allow user to preset a temperature of their choice and switch between the two settings with the “MODE” button located on the control. When water is flowing through the unit and the water temperature meets the specified set point condition, the control will initiate a heat cycle.
HEATER RUNNING TIME The owner is responsible for determining the necessary length of operating time for the pump and heater based upon users particular requirements. Most units are sized to operate during the pool filtering cycle time of 8 to 12 hours daily, providing an even, steady flow of heat. On warmer days the heater will run less because there will be less heat loss from your pool. The heater is capable of running 24 hours per day if necessary.
POOL SOLAR HEAT OPERATION Once the Solar Control is enabled in the Hidden Menu, and 20 seconds of inactivity, the Screen will return to display “POOL–HEAT” Press “MODE” button to display “POOL-SOLAR HEAT” on the front screen, the display will show as follows in illustration 1 P O O L S O L A R 8 0 ° F H E A T 1 8 0 (Illustration 1) By pressing either “UP” or “DOWN” the screen will show “POOL TEMPATURE SET POINT”, as follows on illustration 2.
HEAT / COOL UNIT OPERATION CHOICE ONE HEAT/COOL (OPTION 2 IN SERVICE MENU) This will allow your Heat Pump to keep the temperature in your pool at the same temperature, if the water temperature get 2˚ warmer or colder, the unit will heat or cool the pool until it reaches the set point Programming Instructions: 1. Access the service menu by pressing and holding the “UP” and “DOWN” at the same time, until the screen changes to “REMOTE TSTAT” (Default “DISABLED”) 2.
CARE & MAINTENANCE CLEANING There is not much maintenance that needs to be done on your heater. Making sure there is good airflow through the evaporator and proper drainage are the two main tasks. A garden hose with lowpressure water flow can be used to clean the evaporator coil. Keep all shrubs trimmed back away from the unit to allow sufficient airflow. Clean the coil as needed. If located near the ocean, cleaning will need to be done regularly to remove salt and sand.
TROULESHOOTING A simple test to verify that your heater is functioning is to place your hand above the unit. There should be cool air blowing out the top after time delay has expired. The return water to the pool should be a few degrees warmer than water entering the heater. After about 15 minutes of run time, there should be water draining out of the base of the unit.
Unit Displays No Flow or Water Flow HP: Check to make sure the Pool Pump is on and primed If pump is off, or not primed it will not send any water through the system Check any bypass valves Make sure they are not redirecting the water away from the unit you want to make sure that you are getting anywhere from 30 GPM to 80 GPM through the unit Check the pool filter to make sure it is clean If filter is dirty then the unit will not receive the correct amount of water.
