HEATING-QUICK START & STOP
This brief information is provided as an aide to installers, service personnel, and owners. The intent of this section is to provide rapid access to (only) very basic operational information. Individuals who will be routinely using, installing, maintaining, and servicing this heat pump, are strongly encouraged to read this entire manual.

synonymously.
Start Up
1.With water pump OFF, position water valves to heat the POOL or SPA.
2.Set water pump controls to allow for temporary, continuous operation.
3.Rotate both thermostats counterclockwise to lowest temperature settings.
4.Depending on valve settings (per #1, above), position the POOL/OFF/SPA toggle switch to point at either the POOL or SPA thermostat knob. Set HEAT/COOL toggle switch to HEAT position.
5.Ensure power is supplied to the heater, then start the water pump; the POWER and FLOW lights should now both be lit. Permit the water pump to operate for five (5) minutes before proceeding.
Setting the Temperature Controls - Pool or Spa
1.Turn the selected pool or spa thermostat dial clockwise to its highest setting.
2.The heat pump will start and begin to warm the pool or spa.
NOTE: The heat pump utilizes a
3.Initially, the typical spa may take several hours to heat, while a pool may take several days. Heating time will depend on the volume of water, beginning water temperature, and the weather conditions at the time of
4.When the pool or spa reaches the desired temperature, slowly rotate the thermostat knob counterclockwise until the heat pump (just) stops. The thermostat is now positioned to automatically
maintain the set temperature.
Once the heat pump has brought the pool or spa up to temperature, it will be necessary to reset the pump
Switching Controls from Pool to Spa
NOTE: It is best to stop the water pump while repositioning valves.
1.Open spa valves and close pool valves.
2.With the spa water circulation pump operating for at least five minutes, move the POOL/OFF/SPA toggle switch from the POOL setting to the SPAsetting.
3.Turn the Spa thermostat fully clockwise (104º F). Heat pump should start (also see time delay note, above).
4.Initially, the typical spa may take several hours to heat. Heating time will depend on the volume of water, beginning water temperature, and the weather conditions at the time of
5.When the spa reaches the desired temperature (104º F is maximum), slowly rotate the SPA thermostat knob counterclockwise until the heat pump (just) stops. The spa thermostat is now positioned toautomatically maintain the set temperature.
To Stop the Heat Pump
The heat pump can be stopped by interrupting the electrical power supply, or by setting the desired temperature lower than the actual water temperature. However, please note, if electrical power and water flow are present to the heat pump, and the water temperature falls below 60ºF (with thermostat set to minimum), the heat pump will operate to maintain the water temperature at 60ºF.
