4.Allow the heat pump to operate for a few minutes to stabilize operating pressures and to allow various component temperatures to normalize.

5.Verify that the discharge air temperature is approximately 8° - 10° cooler than the air entering the unit. If not, see Section IX, Troubleshooting.

Seasonal Start-Up or Annual Check

NOTE: At the beginning of the heating season, or whenever the pool water temper- ature is to be raised several degrees, the pool pump and heat pump may need to operate continuously for several days. During summer months, only a few hours per day may be necessary, or none at all.

1.Remove leaves, pine needles, etc. from the evaporator coil. Clean the coil by gently applying a mild solution of household liquid soap and water.

2.Gently rinse the coil with water; do NOT use high pressure.

3.Backwash or otherwise clean the pool filter. If necessary, clean the skimmer basket and pump strainer.

4.Set the valves to assure proper water flow through the unit.

NOTE: If the pool pump and heat pump shut OFF before the water temperature is raised to the desired level, you must lengthen the running time of both. To do this, reset the time clock dial for the longer running time, or manually operate the pump with the timer override switch. Since the heat pump capacity and efficiency are both greater at higher ambient air temperatures, run time should be set to take advantage of all daylight hours, when the air is generally warmer.

VI. Summer Shutdown

If you do not plan to use the heat pump during the summer months, secure and protect it as follows:

1.From the control panel, turn the control switch to Remote (OFF).

2.Turn the heat pump circuit breaker or disconnect switch to OFF.

3.Leave the valves set the way they are unless additional circulation is required. DO NOT stop all flow through the heat pump.

4.IMPORTANT: Remember to reset the valves before the next heating season, or the heat pump will not operate properly.

5100, 6100 specifications

Raypak has long been recognized as a leader in the pool and spa heating industry, and their models, the 6100 and 5100, stand out for their innovative features and advanced technologies. Both models are designed to provide efficient heating solutions for residential and commercial applications, ensuring that pool and spa enthusiasts enjoy optimal water temperatures year-round.

The Raypak 6100 is equipped with a robust heat exchanger made from copper and brass, ensuring excellent heat transfer and corrosion resistance. This model boasts an impressive BTU output, allowing it to heat water quickly, even in larger pools. It employs a digital thermostat and a user-friendly control panel, providing precise temperature control and ease of operation. The 6100 also features built-in safety measures, including a high-limit switch and a pressure switch to prevent overheating and ensure safe operation.

In contrast, the Raypak 5100 offers a slightly lower BTU output, making it suitable for smaller residential pools or spas. Nevertheless, this model does not compromise on efficiency or performance. Like the 6100, the 5100 utilizes a copper and brass heat exchanger, which maximizes heat transfer while ensuring durability. The digital controls on the 5100 also provide ease of use, featuring intuitive settings that allow users to fine-tune their heating preferences.

Both models utilize Raypak's exclusive polymer headers, which provide superior resistance to corrosion and longevity compared to traditional materials. These innovative designs prevent scale buildup and ensure efficient operation over time. Additionally, Raypak's heaters are designed for versatility, capable of running on both natural gas and propane, making them suitable for various settings and configurations.

Another key characteristic of the Raypak 6100 and 5100 is their commitment to energy efficiency. Both heaters are engineered to meet or exceed energy efficiency standards, reducing operational costs while minimizing their environmental footprint. With a streamlined design, installation is straightforward, and routine maintenance can be carried out with minimal effort.

Ultimately, the Raypak 6100 and 5100 models present excellent choices for anyone seeking reliable and efficient heating solutions for their pools or spas. With advanced technologies, durable construction, and an emphasis on user control and safety, these heaters are designed to meet the needs of modern pool and spa owners, ensuring comfort and enjoyment with every use.
