GENERAL

DURING USE

To avoid serious injuries, never touch the fan when it is operating.
Keep the heat pump out of the reach of children to avoid serious injuries caused by the heatexchanger’s blades.
Never start the equipment if there is no water in the pool or if the circulating pump is stopped.
Check the water flow rate every month and clean the filter if necessary

DURING CLEANING

Switch off the equipment’s electricity supply.
Close the water inlet and outlet valves.
Do not insert anything into the air or water intakes or outlets.
Do not rinse the equipment with water.

WATER TREATMENT

Heat pumps for swimming pools can be used with all types of water treatment systems. Nevertheless, it is essential that the treatment system (chlorine, pH, bromine and/or salt chlorinator metering pumps) is installed after the heat pump in the hydraulic circuit.

To avoid any deterioration to the heat pump, the water’s pH must be maintained between 6.9 and 8.0.

The heat pump is very easy to install, only water and power need to be connected during installation.

LOCATION

The heat pump should be located at least 2.5 meter away from the swimming pool.
Location

Please comply with the following rules concerning the choice of heat pump location.

The unit’s future location must be easily accessible for convenient operation and maintenance.
It must be installed on the ground, laid ideally on a level concrete floor. Ensure that the floor is sufficiently stable and can support the weight of the unit.
Check that the unit is properly ventilated, that the air outlet is not facing the windows of neighboring buildings and that the exhaust air cannot return. In addition, provide sufficient space around the unit for servicing and maintenance operations.
The unit must not be installed in an area exposed to oil, flammable gases, corrosive products, sulfurous compounds or close to high frequency equipment.
To prevent mud splashes, do not install the unit near a road or track.
To avoid causing nuisance to neighbors, make sure the unit is installed so that it is positioned towards the area that is least sensitive to noise.
Keep the unit as much as possible out of the reach of children.

Place nothing less than 1,50 m in front of the heat pump. Leave 30 cm of empty space around the sides and rear of the heat pump.

Do not leave any obstacle above or in front of the unit!

INSTALLATION

INSTALLATION LAYOUT
The filter located upstream of the heat pump must be regularly cleared so that the water in the system is clean, thus avoiding the operational problems associated with dirt or clogging in the filter.

HYDRAULIC CONNECTION

Step 1
Screw the connectors to the heat pump

Step 2
Connect the water outlet pipe and the water intake pipe
Hydraulic Connection

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Before connecting your heat pump, please ensure that the plug is connected to the ground. The filter pump should function at the same time as the heat pump. Therefore, you need to connect them to the same electrical circuit.

OPERATION

Conditions of use
For the heat pump to operate normally, the ambient air temperature must be between 8°C and 43°C.

Recommendations prior to start-up

Before activating the heat pump, please:

Check that the unit is stable.
Control the proper functioning of your electrical installation.
Check that the hydraulic connections are tight and that there is no leakage of water.
Remove any unnecessary object or tool from around the unit.

Operation

Connect the unit power plug.
Activate the circulating pump.
Activate the unit’s power supply protection (differential switch and circuit-breaker).
Activate the heat pump by pressing once on .
Select the required temperature.
The heat pump’s compressor will start up after a few moments.

All you have to do now is wait until the required temperature is reached.

WARNING
Under normal conditions, a suitable heat pump can heat the water in a swimming pool by 1°C to 2°C per day. It is therefore quite normal to not feel any temperature difference in the system when the heat pump is working. A heated pool must be covered to avoid any loss of heat.

MAINTENANCE AND SERVICING

WARNING
Before undertaking maintenance work on the unit, ensure that you have disconnected the electrical power supply.

Cleaning
The heat pump’s casing must be cleaned with a damp cloth. The use of detergents or other household products could damage the surface of the casing and affect its properties.

The evaporator at the rear of the heat pump must be carefully cleaned with a vacuum cleaner and soft brush attachment.

Annual maintenance

The following operations must be undertaken by a qualified person at least once a year.

Carry out safety checks.
Check the integrity of the electrical wiring.
Check the earthing connections.
Monitor the state of the pressure gauge and the presence of refrigerant.

Winter storage
Your heat pump is designed to operate in rainy weather conditions and withstand frost using a specially created anti-frost technology. However it is not recommended to leave it outside for long periods of time (eg over winter). After draining down the pool for the winter, store the heat pump in a dry place.

WARNING
Under normal conditions, a suitable heat pump can heat the water in a swimming pool by 1°C to 2°C per day. It is therefore quite normal to not feel any temperature difference in the system when the heat pump is working. A heated pool must be covered to avoid any loss of heat.
