Special safety instructions – Heat pump

  • Do not install near a heat source, combustible materials or building exhaust air.
  • If the installation is not in a location with restricted access, a heat pump protection grille must be fitted.
  • To avoid serious burns, do not touch the pipelines during installation or maintenance.
  • To avoid serious burns, switch off the heat pump before carrying out any work on the refrigerant system and wait a few minutes before attaching temperature and pressure sensors.
  •  Have the refrigerant level checked when servicing the heat pump.
  • Check that there are no traces of corrosion or oil stains around the refrigerant components.
  • Have the installation, initial commissioning and maintenance of the heat pump carried out by authorised specialists only.
  • Do not start work on the heat pump until all safety instructions have been checked.
  • The device must be stable.
  • The electrical installation must function properly.
  • The hydraulic connections must be tight.
  • All unnecessary tools and objects must be cleared from the area.

Danger to life due to unsuitable water temperature!
Staying in pools with water temperatures that are too high or too low for a long time can cause overheat-ing (body temperature above 38°C) or hypothermia (body temperature below 35°C). This can lead to fa-tigue, dizziness, fainting or unconsciousness, resulting in death by drowning in the pool. Pregnant wom- en run the risk of causing deformities or brain damage to their unborn child, especially in the first three months of pregnancy.

  • Keep the water temperature in the range of 26-30°C during normal swimming operation.
  • Do not allow children and pregnant women to enter the water at water temperatures above 38°C.
  • Do not allow the water temperature to rise above 40°C.
  • If in doubt, check the water temperature with a suitable precision thermometer before entering the water.(The temperature sensor of the heat pump guarantees an accuracy of approx. ±3°C.)

Fire and explosion hazard due to leaking heat exchanger fins!
The refrigerant circuit of the finned heat exchanger contains easily combustible, odourless gas under high pressure. There is a risk of fire and explosion if refrigerant escapes in an uncontrolled manner.

  • Keep heat sources and open fires away from the heat pump.
  • Do not damage the device by drilling or setting fire to it.
  • Do not use any objects, except those permitted by the manufacturer, to accelerate the defrosting pro-cess.
  • Shut down the heat pump immediately if you suspect refrigerant leakage and contact an authorised spe-cialist.
  • The refrigerant is odourless. Always keep ignition sources away from the installation site of the heat pump.

Danger of injury when moving heavy devices!
The device is heavy! Incorrect lifting or uncontrolled tilting of the device may result in injury or damage to the device.

  • Lift, carry or tilt the device at least in pairs, never alone.
  • Ensure correct posture (straight back, safe stance, etc.).
  • Use transport aids (e.g.: Pallet truck or dolly).
  • Wear protective equipment such as safety shoes or gloves.

Intended use

This device is intended for private use at home and not for commercial or industrial purposes. Use the device on-ly for heating pool equipment.

Placing of the heat pump
The device should be placed at least 2.5 m from the pool (Fig. 2)

T I P Steam 25000 Inverter Pool Heat Pump-FIG3

  • The future location of the device should be easily accessible for convenient operation and maintenance.
  • It must be placed on the ground, ideally on a level concrete floor. Ensure that the ground is sufficiently stable and can support the weight of the device.
  • Ensure that the device is well ventilated, that the air outlet does not face the windows of neighbouring buildings and that the exhaust air cannot flow back.
  • The device must not be installed when oil, flammable gases, corrosive products, sulphur-containing compounds or high-frequency devices are nearby.
  • To avoid soiling, do not install the device near a road or path.
  • To avoid annoying neighbours, ensure that the device is installed facing the least noise-sensitive area.
  • Operate the device as far as possible out of the reach of children.
  • Leave a free space of at least 30 cm at the sides and rear of the heat pump (Fig. 3).
  • Do not place any objects in front of or on the device. A minimum distance of 1.5 m from the front of the heat pump must be ensured.T I P Steam 25000 Inverter Pool Heat Pump-FIG4

Connecting the heat pump

  • Screw the connections incl. seals to the heat pump.
  • Now connect the pool hose coming from the circulating pump to the lower connection (
  • Now connect the pool hose in the direction of the pool to the upper connection ( ) ) (Fig. 4).
  • Secure each hose with hose clamps to prevent them from slipping down.T I P Steam 25000 Inverter Pool Heat Pump-FIG6
  • A 10mA differential circuit breaker is integrated in the electrical plug of the heat pump. Before connecting your heat pump, please ensure that the socket outlet has a properly installed protective contact. The heat pump must never be operated without a pump, otherwise it may be damaged. The filter pump should work at the same time as the heat pump, so you must connect it to the same circuit.
  • It is recommended to install a pre-filter. This must be cleaned regularly to ensure that the water in the sys-tem is clean, thus avoiding the operational problems associated with dirt or clogging of the filter. The water treatment system (chlorine or salt dosing system), on the other hand, must be installed after the heat pump (Fig. 5).T I P Steam 25000 Inverter Pool Heat Pump-FIG8

    Before starting the heat pump, the filter pump must be checked for correct operation.
    The heat pump must never be operated without a pump.

Heating

  • Press to switch on the device
  • Use and to set the desired temperature
  • Now the device heats up to the desired temperature and then switches off automatically.
  • If the temperature of the incoming water is lower than the set temperature ( -1 °C), the heat pump switches to heating mode. The compressor stops if the temperature of the incoming water is higher than the set temperature.
  • Under normal conditions, a suitable heat pump can warm the water in a swimming pool by 1°C to 2°C per day. It is therefore normal not to feel any temperature difference in the system when the heat pump is in operation. A heated swimming pool should be covered to avoid any heat loss and thus be more efficient

Maintenance

  • ATTENTION: Before performing any maintenance tasks, disconnect the electrical device from the power source by pulling the plug out of the socket outlet.

  • Do not use aggressive solvents or cleaning agents.

  • Do not dispose of pool water containing chemicals (e.g. chlorine) on lawns or plants.

  • The evaporator on the back of the heat pump must be cleaned carefully with a hoover and a soft brush attachment.
    Note: All types of repairs must be carried out by qualified personnel.

  • Annual maintenance:

    • Carry out security checks.
    • Check the integrity of the electrical wiring.
    • Check the earth connections.
      Your heat pump is designed to work even in rainy weather and is protected from frost by specially developed anti-frost technology. However, it is not recommended to leave them outdoors for long periods (e.g. over winter). After draining the pool, store the heat pump in a dry place for the winter.
