Heat Pump Location
The unit will perform well in any outdoor location provided that the following three factors are
presented:
1. Fresh Air - 2. Electricity - 3. Pool filter piping
The unit may be installed virtually anywhere outdoors. For indoor pools please consult the supplier.
Unlike a gas heater, it has no draft or pilot light problem in a windy area.
DO NOT place the unit in an enclosed area with a limited air volume, where the units discharge air
will be re-circulated.
DO NOT place the unit close to bushes or shrubs which can block air inlet / outlet. These locations
deny the unit of a continuous source of fresh air which reduces its efficiency and may prevent
adequate heat delivery.
How close to your pool?
Normally, the pool heat pump is installed within 7.5 meters of the pool. The longer the distance from the
pool, the greater the heat loss from the piping. For the most part, the piping is buried. Therefore, the heat
loss is minimal for runs of up to15 meters (15 meters to and from the pump = 30 meters total), unless the
ground is wet, or the water table is high.
A very rough estimate of heat loss per 30 meters is 0.6 kW-hour, (2000BTU) for every 5°C difference in
temperature between the pool water and the ground surrounding the pipe, which translates to about 3% to
5% increase in run time.
Installation and Connection

Installation illustration
Remarks:
The factory only provides the heat pump. Other parts, including a by-pass are to be provided by the
user or installer.
Attention:
Please take the following steps when installing the heat pump:
1. Each addition of chemicals must be performed through the conduits located AFTER the heat pump.
2. Install a by-pass for easy maintenance.
3. Always place the heat pump on a solid base and use the supplied silent blocks to avoid
vibrations and noise.
4. Always keep the heat pump in upright position. If the unit has been tilted, you should wait for at least
24 hours before turning it on.
Installation of a check valve
When using automatic chlorine and pH dosage systems, it is of extremely import to protect the
heat pump from high concentrations of these chemicals that could corrode the heat exchanger Therefore, such
systems should add the chemicals in the conduits located DOWNSTREAM of the heat pump and it is
recommended to install a check-valve in order to prevent backflow when there is no water circulation. Damage
to the heat pump caused by disregarding any of these recommendations will invalidate the warranty.

Important - Although the heat pump is electrically isolated from the rest of the unit, this only prevents
the passage of electricity to or from the pool water. Grounding the unit is still required to protect
yourself from short circuits inside the unit. Make for adequate ground connection.
Check if the electrical mains voltage corresponds with the operating voltage of the heat pump prior to
hooking up the unit.
It is recommended to use a separate fuse (C-curve) as well as adequate wiring (see table below). Connect
the electrical wires with the terminal block labelled ‘TO POWER SUPPLY’.
Next to this connection, there is a second terminal block labelled ‘TO PUMP’, to which the pool pump
(max. 5A/240V) or an electrical relay for a filtration pump can be connected. This connection makes it
possible to control the pool pump operation with the heat pump.
However, we do not recommend that you wire the pool circulation pump to the heat pump. Run
separate power supplies to the heat pump and the pool circulation pump. This allows the pool
circulation pump to be put on a time clock and operated for the required time to give adequate filtration
for the pool and the pool circulation pump can be manually operated when required to backwash the
filter etc.

Note: Due to the unstable and unreliable power supply in South Africa, Under / Over voltage protection is
required to protect electronic components inside the heat pumps. Failure to install Under / Over voltage
protection will void the warranty.

NOTE- For the unit to heat the pool or spa, the filter pump must be running to circulate water
through the heat exchanger.
Startup Procedure - After installation is completed, you should follow these steps:
1. Turn on your pool pump. Check for water leaks and verify flow to and from the pool.
2. Turn on the electrical power supply to the heat pump, then press the key ON/OFF on the wire
controller. It should start in several seconds.
3. After running a few minutes make sure the air leaving the fan opening of the unit is cooler
(between 5-10°C)
4. With the unit operating turn, the pool pumps off. The unit should also turn off automatically,
5. Allow the unit and pool pump to run 24 hours per day until desired pool water temperature is
reached. When the desired pool water temperature reaches the setting, the unit just shuts off.
6. The unit will now automatically restart (if your pool pump is running) when the pool
temperature drops more than 2°C below set temperature.
Time Delay- The unit is equipped with a 3-minute built-in solid state restart delay included to protect
control circuit components and to eliminate restart cycling and contactor chatter.
This time delay will automatically restart the unit approximately 3 minutes after each control circuit
interruption. Even a brief power interruption will activate the solid state 3-minute restart delay and
prevent the unit from starting until the 3-minute countdown is completed. Power interruptions during
the delay period will have no effect on the 3-minute countdown.
Since the Heat pump cools down the air about 5°C, water may condense on the fins of the evaporator.
If the relative humidity is very high, this could be as much as several litres an hour. The water will run
down the fins into the base pan and drain out through the barbed plastic condensation drain fitting
on the side of the base pan.
This fitting is designed to accept 20mm clear vinyl tubing which can be pushed on by hand and run
to a suitable drain. It is easy to mistake the condensation for a water leak inside the unit.
TIP:
A quick way to verify that the water is condensation is to shut off the unit and keep the pool pump
running. If the water stops running out of the base pan, it is condensation. AN EVEN QUICKER WAY
IS TO TEST THE DRAIN WATER FOR CHLORINE - if there is no chlorine present, then it is
condensation.
