When you start up your new AquaCal Heat Pump for the first time to heat your pool, you must allow the unit to run continuously until the desired temperature is reached. This may take from several hours to several days depending upon the time of the year and the outside conditions. If you utilize a time clock or similar device to control the operating time of your pool system, you should temporarily override the device and allow it to run the pool or spa pump until the water reaches the desired temperature.
Your heat pump is a maintainer of heat and is sized to overcome the heat loss during the coldest period in which you are trying to heat. Once your pool is up to temperature, the time clock can be reset. The time your system has to run may need to be extended during the colder months when heat loss is at its greatest.
Since air is generally at its warmest during the day time, it is best to operate your heat pump during the daytime when there is more heat to transfer. So keep this in mind when you are trying to heat your pool.
NOTE: An optional Call Flex time clock manager (AquaCal part #0030S) can free you from having to change the settings on your time clock as the heat loss increases or decreases. Contact your installing dealer for details.
