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 low-
pressure 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. Use a very soft
brush so as not to bend the coil fins with soapy water to remove any
build up.
Keep the drain holes in the base free of debris to assure
proper condensation drainage.
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.
Only use products designed for cleaning plastics.
WINTERIZING
In areas where freezing condition is not prevalent and winterizing of
pools is not common, allow water to flow through the heater even
when not in use.
CAUTION:
Make sure all power is disconnected to the heater prior to washing.
WARNING:
DO NOT USE CLEANERS THAT CONTAIN ALCOHOL.
Alcohol based cleaners may damage the plastic.
ATTENTION:
In freezing areas, it is mandatory that the water be
completely drained from the heater and disconnected from
the piping. The heat exchanger must be blown out with air
to ensure no water in the heat exchanger.
