Basic Connection

This connection method is strongly recommended to enhance the life-span of your pool heat pump.

If you connect the unit this way, you have to pour chemicals directly into the pool or the spa, as far as pos- sible from the water supply point.

Do not pour chemicals in the skimmer or at the bottom of the pool, if you have a drain, because of the possibility of migration of the chemicals to the heater.

Chlorinators, Brominators and Other Automatic Systems

Any automatic distribution system of chemical products, chlorine, bromine or others, must be installed after the outlet of water from the heat pump. The warranty of the heat pump will be voided for any installation that is not in accordance with this rule.

The use of a brominator or a chlorinator tends to lower pH and total alkalinity because of the chemicals in it. If you use such a product, you must check the quality of the water regularly. (Addition of sodium bicarbonate is recommended to restore the balance.) (See the section Water Maintenance on p.12.)

Pressure-type Chlorinator or Brominator

Check-valve

Filter Chlorinator

P-trap

Check-valve Water pump

The pressure-type chlorinator or brominator takes a small amount of water from the outlet side of the filter, adds chemicals to it and returns this highly concentrated solution to the pool. The check valves must be highly re- sistant to corrosion. Use only a check-valve ei- ther supplied or recommended by the chlorina- tor (brominator) manufacturer.

The p-trap should be installed higher than the top of the chlorinator (brominator) to prevent migration.
