Spring Start-Up

If your heat pump has been winterized, perform the following steps when starting the system in the Spring:

1.Uncover the heat pump and inspect the top and sides for any debris or structural problems.

2.Connect the water inlet and outlet unions located on the lower front panel of the heat pump.

3.Turn on the filter pump to supply water to the heat pump. Open the filter air bleeder and circulate water through the system long enough to bleed all the air out of the pool system. Check for leaks in and around the heat pump.

4.Turn on the electrical power to the heat pump at the main breaker panel.

Inspection and Service

Pentair Water Heat Pumps are designed and constructed to provide long performance life when installed and operated properly under normal conditions. Periodic inspections are important to keep your heat pump running safely and efficiently through the years.

Owner Inspection

Pentair Water recommends that you inspect your heat pump on a continual basis and especially after abnormal weather conditions. The following basic guidelines are suggested for your inspection:

1.Make sure the front of the unit is accessible for future service.

2.Keep the top and surrounding areas of the heat pump clear of all debris.

3.Keep all plants and shrubs trimmed and away from the heat pump.

4.Keeplawnsprinklerheadsfromsprayingontheheatpumptopreventcorrosionanddamage.Useadeflector ifneeded.

5.Iftheunitisinstalledunderaverysharproofpitchorunderaroofwithoutagutter,agutterordivertershould be fitted to prevent excessive water from pouring down into the unit.

The heat pump will produce condensation (water) while in operation. The heat pump base is designed to allow the condensation to exit through the bottom drain port when the unit is running. The condensation will increase as the outdoor air humidity level increases. Check the following at regular intervals to ensure proper condensate drainage:

1.Visually inspect and clear the bottom drain ports of any debris that could clog the ports.

2.Keepthetopairflowdischargeandairflowintakeareaclearofdebrissotheairflowthoughtheheatpump isnotrestricted.Thecoolerdischargeairfromthetopshouldnotaccumulateandbedrawnintothesideair intakecoils.

3.Ensure that condensate run-off is properly directed away from the equipment pad to keep it from underminingthepad.

4.Ensure that condensate water does not puddle inside the heat pump.

During normal operation, the heat pump produces three to five gallons of condensate per hour. If condensate drainage is above this range during operation or if water continues to drain from the base when the heat pump is not in operation for more than an hour, a leak in the internal plumbing may have occurred. Call a qualified heat pump technician to investigate the problem.
