INSTALLATION

Installation guidelines
The following information is for guidance only.

Locating the Unit
The unit should be located on a solid, flat, horizontal surface. Ensure 3 metres of free air flow to the discharge panel and 1 metre to the inlet panel. Ensure adequate access to the controller and for maintenance purposes.

Precautions

• Avoid locating the unit close to bedrooms or other noise sensitive areas.
• Avoid a location which could create vibration i.e. secured to a solid wall.
• Try to avoid placing the unit under a tree or exposed to extreme conditions.

Water connection
The heat pump is connected to a filtration circuit with a by-pass. It is imperative that the by-pass is placed after the pump and the filter. The by- pass generally consists of 3 valves. This makes it possible to regulate the water flow which passes through the heat pump and to isolate the heat pump completely for any maintenance work, without cutting the flow of filtered water.

Installation FULL INVERTER POOL HEAT PUMP AQUAVIVA SUPERIOR

If your installation is equipped with a water treatment system (chlorine, bromine, saltetc) the by-pass must be installed before the water treatment, with a non-return valve between the by-pass and water treatment system.

Electrical connection
The Electrical supply must correspond to that indicated on the appliance. All supply cables have to be sized according to the appliance power and installation requirements. Please refer to below table.

*The above are an indication only. Please refer to a qualified Electrician if in doubt.
Use the cable glands and grommets provided inside the heat pump to secure and route the supply cables.

Trial Running
After connecting the unit to the pool system, ensure your installation is complete, with a suitable by-pass and electrical connections by a qualified engineer.

Be sure that:

1. Appliance is horizontal and on a firm base.
2. Water system has no leaks.
3. Electrical Installation is compliant with all local regulations and standards.
4. The installation requirements described previously have been strictly adhered to.

ATTENTION: THE HEAT PUMP ONLY OPERATES WHEN WATER FLOW IS PRESENT.

MAINTENANCE

To protect the paintwork, avoid leaning or putting objects on the shell. External Heat Pump parts can be wiped with a damp cloth and domestic cleaner. (Warning: Never use cleaning agents containing sand, soda, acid or chloride as these can damage the surfaces.)
To prevent blockages in the titanium heat exchanger, ensure that the system incorporates a water and filter treatment facility. In the event of a problem occurring due to contamination, the system should be cleaned as described below. (Warning: the fins on the finned tube heat exchanger are sharp!).

Cleaning the Heat Exchanger and Pipework
Contamination in the pipes and heat exchanger can reduce the performance of the heat pumps’ titanium heat exchanger. If this is the case, the pipe system and heat exchanger must be cleaned by a technician. Use only pressurized drinking water for cleaning.

Cleaning the air system
The finned heat exchanger, fan and condensate outflow should be clear of all obstructions (leaves, twigs, etc.) before each new heating season. These can be manually removed using compressed air or by flushing with clean water.
It may be necessary to remove the unit cover and air inlet grid first.

Attention: Before opening the unit, ensure that all electrical supplies are isolated.

To prevent the evaporator and the condensate tray from being damaged, do not use hard or sharp objects for cleaning.
Under extreme weather conditions (e.g. snow drifts), ice may form on the air intake and exhaust air outlet grids. If this happens, the ice must be removed in the vicinity of the air intake and exhaust air outlet grids to ensure that the minimum air flow rate is maintained.

Winter Shutdown.
To prevent frost damage to the unit when not in use the Heat Pump should be drained of all water. Failing this another form of frost protection should be considered and actioned.

Attention: The warranty does not cover damage caused by inadequate frost protection measures during the winter.

TROUBLESHOOTING

This section provides useful information for diagnosing and correcting certain prolems which may occur. Before starting the troubleshooting procedure, carry out a thorough visual inspection of the unit and look for obvious defects such as loose connections or defective wiring. Before contacting your local dealer, read this chapter carefully.It could save you time and money.

WHEN CARRYING OUT ANY MAINTENANCE ENSURE ADEQUATE PRECAUTIONS ARE TAKEN TO PREVENT AN ELECTRIC SHOCK .

The hints below are for guidance only. If you cannot solve the problem, consult your installer/local dealer..

The Heat pump will not run.
Please check:

• There is a supply voltage (tripped fuse, power failure).
• The switch on the wired controller is switched on, and whether the correct set point temperature has been set.

The set temperature level cannot be reached. Please check whether:

• The permissible operating conditions for the heat pump have been adhered to (air temperatures too high or too low).
• The air inlet or outlet area is blocked, restricted or very dirty.
• There are closed valves or stop-cocks in the water pipes.

The timer works but the programmed actions are executed at the wrong time (e.g. 1 hour too late or too early).

Please check whether:

The clock and the day of the week are set correctly, adjust if necessary.

If you cannot correct the fault yourself, please contact your after-sales service technician.
Work on the heat pump may only be carried out by authorized and qualified after-sales service technicians.
