Page - 3
3.2 Positioning Equipment
Controlling Irrigation and Rainwater Runoff
l l
Irrigation water may damage heat pump components. Have irrigation water directed away from the heat pump.
The heat pump will withstand normal rainfall. Do not allow a roof slope to direct rainwater onto the heat pump.
Have a gutter installed on the roof edge to direct this water away from the heat pump. Or install the heat pump in another location.
Planning for Condensation
The heat pump can produce a large amount of water in the form of condensation. The amount of water depends on air temperature and humidity.
l l
Install the heat pump with enough height to allow for water drainage.
Plan for water drainage disposal as needed.
Mounting Pad Requirements
l l l l l l l l l
Build the heat pump pad out of concrete or another code-approved material.
Confirm the pad can support the weight of the heat pump.
Elevate the pad enough to allow for drainage.
Make sure the pad is flat and level.
Have the pad extend at least 6 inches from the heat pump base in all directions.
Do not install the heat pump on soil or grass.
Do not allow the heat pump base to touch the buildings foundation.
Do not place the heat pump directly on a concrete floor inside a building. This can cause noisy equipment vibration. Install vibration dampeners between the heat pump base and floor.
Equipment pad must meet all requirements of authorities having code-related jurisdiction.
Anchoring to Pad
l l l
Follow all applicable local, state, and national requirements regarding wind load anchoring.
The shipping brackets used to tie the heat pump to the pallet are approved mounting (hurricane) brackets. They can be used to anchor the heat pump to the pad.

3.3.b Water Flow Rates
Maintain water flow rates as indicated. Please note, these specifications relate to the heat pump only. Codespecified whole system turnover rates must be satisfied.
l
CAUTION - Failure to heed the following may result in equipment damage.
Water flow exceeding maximum flow rate may damage heat exchanger; such damage will not be covered under the equipment warranty
Page - 5
If water flow through the heat pump is reduced, performance will suffer and internal safety devices may deactivate the heat pump with error codes: l l l l
Operate water filtration devices per manufacturer's specifications. Dirty filters can cause reduced water flow to the heat pump. An increase of 7-10 psi higher than the clean filter pressure typically reduces flow rates. This requires the filter to be cleaned or back-washed.
Keep baskets free of debris. Similar to a dirty filter, large volumes of debris in the pump and skimmer baskets can reduce water flow.
Check for improper valve settings. A partially closed valve after the filter, or a full-open bypass around the heat pump, will cause insufficient water flow through the heat pump.
The maximum static (or operating pressure) is 50 pounds-per-square-inch (PSI). These specifications relate to the heat pump only. Code-specified whole system turnover rates must be satisfied.
3.3.c Adjusting Water Flow Using ΔT (Delta-T)
The Delta-T is the temperature difference between the water temperatures entering and leaving the heat pump. The equipment can be fine-tuned for maximum performance by balancing water flow rates to maintain an ideal ∆T.
l l
Installed temperature ports are required to perform the following procedures.
This adjustment procedure is to be completed with the unit in HEA mode only.
PLEASE NOTE -
l l
Temperature ports are required for all commercial applications.
Temperature ports are strongly recommended (but not required) for residential installations.
1. Adjust heat pump's thermostat to its lowest setting while in HEA mode.

5.4 Winterizing
l
WARNING - Failure to heed the following may result in injury or death.
Deactivate all electrical power to heat pump before performing hard freeze procedures.
l l
CAUTION - Failure to heed the following may result in equipment damage.
Failure to winterize heat pump may result in serious equipment damage. Freeze damage is not covered under the heat pump warranty.
While the plumbing connections are in the winterized condition (not fully tightened), it is imperative that water not run through the heat pump. Loss of water through loose plumbing connections may result in damage to circulation pump, pool and spa structures, and other equipment.
Light Freeze Conditions
There are two freeze conditions requiring heat pump attention. A light freeze is when the ambient air temperature falls below 32 degrees Fahrenheit for less than 8 hours. Typically during light freeze conditions circulating (or moving) water will not freeze. Override time clocks and allow filtration system to run continuously during light freeze conditions.
Hard Freeze Conditions
A hard freeze is when the ambient air temperature falls below 32 degrees Fahrenheit for more than 8 hours.
In areas where this condition is prevalent and sustained, the heat pump MUST be winterized for hard freeze conditions. Follow the correct procedure depending on the type of heat exchanger found in the heat pump.
Identify Exchanger:
1. Deactivate all electrical power to heat pump.
2. Deactivate filter pump.
3. Remove front access panel.
4. Identify heat pump exchanger from illustrations in this section. Then follow procedure for that heat pump's exchanger.
Titanium Tube-in-Tube Exchanger
1. Reinstall front access panel.
2. Disconnect the plumbing to the heat pump at connection unions (removal is counterclockwise).
3. Allow water to drain completely from the heat pump. Expect to see a lot of water drain out at first, and then a small amount to continue to drain out over a long period.
4. Place an air hose into the pool inlet of the heat pump; wrap a clean rag around the hose to form a temporary seal.
5. Push all water from the water circuit using compressed air no stronger than 50 psig. The
Titanium
Tube-in-
Tube
residual water should be forced out of the pool outlet. Allow compressed air to blow into the heat pump inlet for at least 15-20 seconds after the water stops coming out.
6. Repeat process on the outlet side of the heat pump.
7. Partially reconnect plumbing connection unions.
8. Winterizing is complete.
9. When ready to use heat pump again, hand-tighten connection unions. Reconnect electrical power, and set the operating mode on the heat pump. Activate filter pump.

Heat Pump Not Running
1. Confirm equipment is receiving power. Is the heat pump display illuminated?
l
If not, confirm the main breaker (located at the power supply panel) and the disconnect switch (located l near the heat pump) are both turned on.
If the display still does not illuminate, it is recommended that the heat pump installer or electrician confirms heat pump is receiving power.
2. Confirm correct mode is selected. See "Setting Operating Mode" on page 21.
3. Confirm thermostat is set correctly. See "Setting Thermostats" on page 22.
l
When heating the water is desired, the thermostat should be set above the current water temperature.
Heat Pump's Tripping Breaker
1. Have an electrician confirm breakers are in good condition and properly sized for the heat pump.
2. If a fault occurs immediately when the compressor starts, a qualified technician should evaluate the system.
Heat Pump Won’t Shut Off

Heat Pump Is Running, Not Heating
1. If the heat pump is using an external controller, confirm it is set correctly.
l
See "Operating Heat Pump (With an External Controller)" on page 24.
l
If the heat pump is still not running correctly with this device, contact the installer of the external controller device or the device’s manufacturer for further assistance.
2. Confirm heat pump mode is set to HEA operating mode.
3. Confirm thermostat is set to the desired water temperature.
4. Confirm valves are correctly positioned to heat the correct body of water (either the pool or the spa). If heating a spa that overflows into a pool, confirm the spa is isolated when being heated (not flowing into the pool).
5. Confirm heat pump is transferring heat into the water.
l
Measure the temperature of air discharge coming out of heat pump fan. If discharge air is between 8° to
10° colder than the outside ambient air (entering air), then the heat pump is moving heat into the water.
6. If an error code is displayed, diagnose and correct cause of code. See "Fault Codes" on page 28.
7. Confirm that filter pump has a sufficient run-time. The heat pump will not run (or heat the water) without water flow. Heat Pump equipment will generally be set to run 24 hours a day in commercial applications.
"Initial Heating Recommendations" on page 33.
8. If heating a spa, deactivate air blower or venturi (if equipped) to allow for quicker heating times. For pools, deactivate water features, such as slides, waterfalls, or fountains to allow water to retain heat. Use of a liquid pool blanket product, such as an Aqua Blanket™, can also compensate for excessive heat loss.
