GETTING YOUR HEAT PUMP STARTED & STOPPED

(Continued)

8.In operation, whenever the actual (displayed) water temperature falls below the desired set point, the unit will start heating after an initial time delay of 3-4 minutes.

NOTE: THE HEAT PUMP INCORPORATES AN ANTI-SHORT CYCLE TIME DELAY. SHOULD OPERATION BE INTERRUPTED, RESTART WILL BE DELAYED BY APPROXIMATELY 4-MINUTES.

CONTINUOUS USAGE AND WATER AROUND UNIT

oIf you have followed the directions up to this point, you should be on your way to enjoying a warm pool or hot spa.

oAfter the heat pump has been running for some time, you may see water present around the heater. This water is condensation produced as a by-product of transferring heat from the air to your pool or spa. If the humidity is high, water quantities of 6-8 gallons per hour are not uncommon. Conversely, a low- humidity condition may result in no condensation being produced.

REQUIRED HOURS OF POOL PUMP OPERATION

SOME POOL SYSTEMS UTILIZE A TIMER TO CONTROL THE POOL FILTER PUMP ON A TIME-OF-DAY BASIS. IF YOUR POOL SYSTEM INCORPORATES A TIMER, USE THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS:

oIt will be necessary to allow your pool circulator pump to run continuously until the pool has reached the desired temperature.

oIf a timer controls your pump, it will be necessary to override the timer to temporarily allow for 24-hr. pump operation.

oOnce the desired temperature has been obtained (this may take up to four days), you should reset your pump time clock for normal operating hours.

REMEMBER … THE HEAT PUMP CAN ONLY OPERATE WHEN THE CIRCULATOR PUMP IS RUNNING. THEREFORE, IN ORDER TO KEEP UP WITH INCREASED HEAT

LOSS DURING COOLER WEATHER, IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO EXTEND THE PUMP’S DAILY HOURS OF OPERATION.

TO SHUT THE UNIT OFF

oThe unit can be stopped by switching off the electrical supply or by setting the desired temperature lower than the actual water temperature.

oThe unit will display “OFF” if the desired water temperature is set below 60°F.
