General Maintenance
Heat pumps should be inspected and maintained on an annual basis by a qualified swimming pool heat pump specialist. Additionally, if the heat pump is located on the beach, or at a sea wall where salt spray and sand can become detrimental factors, more frequent service may be necessary. For service plan information, please see: Planned Maintenance Program, on previous page, and then contact AquaCal Customer Support at: 800-
While annual maintenance is recommended to maintain your warranty, if you choose not to participate in the Planned Maintenance Program, rinsing the air coil regularly, and keeping the base of the unit clear of leaves and debris is a necessity.
Should you as the owner desire to perform the coil rinsing and other cosmetic care of the heat pump, please contact AquaCal Customer Support:

Do not use a pressure cleaner to wash heat pump . . . . Damage to evaporator fins, as well as other components, will result.
♦Control Irrigation: In regions were wells are used for irrigation, water quality is sometimes less than poor, and water spray can damage heater components. Regardless of water quality, it is important that irrigation be directed away from the heat pump.
♦Prevent rain water runoff, from roofs, from pouring directly into the heater. The heater is designed to withstand normal rainfall, but solid streams of water from roof
♦Drainage: Your heat pump may produce abundant condensation under certain conditions; this is considered normal operation. Accordingly, keep the drain holes at the base of the heat pump free of grass, weeds, dirt, or other obstructions, allowing for free and complete drainage around the heater.
♦If the heat pump is located under trees, where leaves fall and accumulate in the bottom of the heat pump, a qualified technician should periodically remove accumulated leaves.
