Congratulations on purchasing the most advanced high efficiency,
microprocessor-controlled pool and spa heat pump available. Your heater
has been manufactured with the best state-of-the-art quality control
equipment available today to ensure the highest quality product delivered to
your door. A heat pump pool heater is a highly efficient, cost effective
method of pool heating. Proper operation and care will result in many years
of swimming enjoyment and pleasure.
Your new pool heater is a self-contained unit designed specifically for
swimming pool and spa heating. It utilizes the sun’s free energy by
extracting heat from the sun-warmed air and transferring it efficiently to the
pool water. Because your pool heater moves the free heat from the outside
air to the pool, rather than create heat, as a fossil fuel or electric resistance
heater does, it can heat your swimming pool or spa for up to 80% less cost
than these other less efficient methods.
As with all pool heating methods, you are advised to utilize a pool cover at
night and when the pool is not in use. The pool cover should be used if the
night temperature is 15˚F (8˚C) less than the desired pool temperature. This
will keep evaporation, the greatest source of heat loss, to a minimum, greatly
reducing the overall pool heating costs. During warmer weather, the pool
cover may not be required.
Your pool and spa heater combines simplicity with trouble-free performance.
As with most appliances, an understanding of proper operation of the heater
is important. Proper installation and operation increases efficiency and
reduces heating costs. Your pool heater is designed with features that make
it simple to operate, maintain and service. This manual will provide you with
the information needed to properly operate and maintain your heater.
ATTENTION:
Please be sure to complete and mail in the Warranty Registration
Card that is provided in the package with your heater.
This card provides us with your information in case you need service.

WATER CHEMISTRY MAINTENANCE
Not only is the water chemistry of your pool or spa important to the
health of you and your family, it also directly affects the life of your
heater. This is the most important item in the maintenance of the
heater. Although the titanium tube is not affected, If the water
chemistry is improperly maintained or if the chemicals are improperly
introduced into the water, this will damage the heater’s internal
components and could eventually cause a leak, rendering the heater
inoperable.
WARNING:
Damage to the heater due to improper water chemistry
is not covered under the warranty.
Do not store corrosive chemicals near the heater!
Following is the table for essential water quality readings, which must be
constantly maintained:
PH Level
7.4 to 7.8
1 time per week
Chlorine Concentration
1.0 to 3 PPM
1 time every 2 to 3
days
Total Alkalinity
80 to 120 PPM
1 time every 2 to 3
weeks
Total Dissolved Solids
Below 2400 PPM
1 time per month
Calcium Hardness
200 to 300 PPM
1 time per month
The location of the chemicals’ introduction to your system is also
critical to the heater’s life. If an automatic in-line Chlorinator or
Brominator is used, it must be located downstream of the heater. A
Trap/ Check Valve must also be installed between the chlorinator and
the heater to prevent chlorine return into the heater.
WARNING:
Never leave any type of solid chlorine in the pool skimmer. This will cause a
high concentration of Chlorine to enter the heater, causing premature
corrosion. Never add chemicals into skimmer, this may cause warranty to
be voided.
