1. First-time start-up
Note: in order for the unit to heat the pool (or spa), the filter pump must be running so
that the water can circulate through the heat pump. Without this circulation, the heat
pump will not start.
When all connections have been made and checked, the following steps should be followed:
1). Turn on the filter pump. Check for leaks.
2). Turn on the electrical power supply to the unit, then press the ON/OFF key on the
electronic control panel.
3). When the unit has been running for a couple of minutes, check if the air leaving the unit
is cooler than the ambient temp.
4). Check the performance of the flow switch as follows: with the unit running turn the filter
pump off. The unit should also switch off automatically.
5). The unit and the filter pump should run 24 hours a day until the desired pool water
temperature has been reached. Once the set temperature is reached, the unit will switch
itself off. As long as the filter pump is running, the unit will restart automatically when the
temperature of the pool water drops more than 1°C below the set temperature.

4. How to change mode
Press MODE to select auto, heating or cooling mode: the indicator light on the right side of the
controller will indicate the mode selected.
5. How to set the desired water temperature
1).The unit has a unique temperature controlling system to satisfy any requirement.
Heating Only Mode : (+ 1/ - 1°C ‘‘ from set point ’’ )
In Heating Mode the heat pump will only heat.
It will heat up to 1°C higher than the "Set" Temp. The heat pump will then stop,
but it will continue to monitor the temperature in your pool.
(The filter pump must be running to enable the heat pump to measure the temperature).
When the temperature in the pool is 1°C lower than the "Set" Temp.
the heat pump will start again.
Cooling Only Mode : (+ 2/ - 0°C ‘‘ from set point ’’ )
This works the same way, but will only cool when the temperature exceeds
the cooling "Set" Temp. by 2°C and it will cool down to the "Set" Temp.
Remember that the highest Cooling "Set" Temperature is 37°C.
Auto Mode : (‘‘Automatically Heating Mode or Cooling Mode’’ )
In Auto Mode your heat pump will try to keep your desired pool temperature at all times.
Example :
If you want your pool to be 30°C:
A: If the pool-water is below 29°C the heat pump will start heating.
B: When the temperature reaches 31°C the heat pump will stop.
C: If the temperature in your pool continues to rise, and passes 32°C,
the heat pump will start again, BUT in Cooling Mode, and cool down to 30°C.
D: If now the temperature continues to drop, and it drops below 29°C,
the heat pump will start again, BUT in Heating Mode.
In Auto Mode the heat pump will try to keep the temperature within 2°C higher and 1°C
lower that your "Set" Point.
(Remember that the filter pump has to run in order for the heat pump to work)
2).How to set using the display controller :
a. First select the desired mode: auto, heating or cooling
b. Regardless if the heat pump is "running" or in "standby" press ▲ or ▼.
The display will show the currently set water temperature of the selected mode with a flashing
number: while it is blinking you can change the water temperature by pressing ▲ or ▼ to the
temperature you want.
(Before you select the desired temperature, make sure you are in the correct mode: Heating /
Cooling / Auto.)
After you see the desired temperature blinking, wait 5 sec. and the temperature is stored.

The keypad can be locked to prevent unauthorized use or changes of the heat pump.
The procedure for this is in the "Main Manual".
If the control panel is locked, your dealer can advise you how to unlock it.
10.Recommendations
Important: failure to comply with these recommendations will invalidate the warranty
Note: non-compliance with one or more of these recommendations can damage the
heat pump beyond repair. Always install water-treatment equipment (e.g. chemical
dosing systems) after the water outlet of the heat pump, especially if the chemicals are
automatically added to the water (e.g. automatic chemical dosing systems).
A check valve should also be installed between the outlet of the heat pump and the
water-treatment equipment to prevent products from flowing back into the heat pump if
the filter pump stops.

11. Heat pump winterizing
Important: failure to take necessary precautions for winterising can damage the heat
pump, which will invalidate the warranty.
The heat pump, filter pump, filter and conduits must be protected in areas where the
temperature can drop below freezing point. Evacuate all water from the heat pumps as follows:
1. Disconnect the electrical power supply to the heat pump.
2. Close the water supply to the heat pump completely.
3. Disconnect water inlet and outlet coupling fittings of the heat pump and let the water
drain out of the unit. Make sure all water is out of the heat pump. (if necessary, tilt the
heat pump until all water has been drained from the heat exchanger). Damage
caused to the heat exchanger due to freezing will not be covered by the warranty.
4. Loosely re-attach water inlet and outlet coupling fittings of the heat pump in order to
prevent dirt from getting into the conduits.
12. Restarting the pump after winter
If you emptied the heat pump for winterising, follow the steps below to restart it in spring:
1. First check that there is no dirt in the conduits and that there are no structural problems.
2. Check that the water inlet and outlet fittings are adequately fastened. Check that ''water
inlet'' and ''water outlet'' are correct according to the lables on the heat pump (water out
from the filter unit = water inlet on heat pump)
3. Start the filter pump to start the water flow to the heat pump. Adjust the by-pass so
there is enough water running through the heat pump. Normally on a small filter system
the by-pass can be closed, so all circulated water goes through the heat pump.
4. Reconnect the electrical power supply to the heat pump and turn the heat pump ON.
13. Check-up
Our heat pumps have been built and developed to last long if they have been installed
correctly and can operate in normal conditions. Regular check-ups are important if you want
your heat pump to function efficiently for many years. Below are some recommendations to
ensure optimal working conditions for your heat pump.
1). Make sure that the service panel is easily accessible.
2). Keep the area surrounding the heat pump free of organic waste.
3). Prune any vegetation around the heat pump so that there is sufficient free space
around the pump.
4). Remove any water sprinklers that are near the heat pump as they could cause damage
to it.
5). Prevent rain from running directly onto the heat pump from a roof. Install proper
drainage.
6). Do not use the heat pump if it has been flooded. Immediately contact a qualified
technician to inspect the heat pump and carry out necessary repair.
Condensation can occur when the heat pump is running. This condensation water can flow
away through an opening in the base pan of the unit. The amount of condensation water will
increase when humidity is high. Remove any dirt that could block the water outlet on the

9
bottom pan. 5 to 20 liters per day of condensation water can be produced while the unit is
running. If more condensation is produced, stop the heat pump and wait for one hour before
checking for water leakage (keep the filter pump running).
Note: a quick way to verify that the water running is because of the condensation. Shut
off the unit and keep the pool pump running. If the water stops running out, it is
condensation. AN EVEN QUICKER WAY IS TO TEST THE DRAIN WATER FOR
CHLORINE. If no chlorine is detected, the drain water is a result of condensation.
Also make sure that the air in and out passages are free, and prevent air out from immediately
re-entering to the air in. (It is important to have min. 2.5m free space at the air out side of the
heat pump).
14. Maintenance and Inspection
The picture below shows a heat pump with lid (top panel) off.
Do not open the Lid (Top panel) when the electrical power is connected to the heat pump.

15. Troubleshooting guide
Incorrect installation may result in an electrical charge that could lead to death or serious injury
of users, installers or others by electrical shock and it may also cause damage to heat pump.
DO NOT attempt to modify the internal configuration of the heat pump.
1. Keep your hands and hair clear of the fan blades to avoid injury.
2. If you are not familiar with your pool filtration system and heat pump:
a. Do not attempt to carry out any adjustment or service without consulting your
dealer, pool professional or air conditioning contractor.
b. Read the entire installation manual before attempting to use, service or make
adjustments to the unit.
c. Wait for 24hours after the installation before starting the heat pump to prevent
damage to the compressor. (If the heat pump has been transported and carried
all the time with the feet down, it can be started immediately).
Note: Switch off the power before carrying out any maintenance or repairs.
IMPORTANT REMARK: if a malfunction cannot be resolved immediately, in order to analyse
the problem we will need to know the message (error code) that is showing on the display
controller as well as the values for the settings (parameters 0-A). We also need to know the
status of the heat pump: the ambient temperature, water inlet / outlet temperature, if there is
cold air coming out from the heat pump, if the grill (evaporator) is cold, or if there is ice on the
heat pump.
Please keep this information at hand when calling customer service (describe the issue).
On the following pages you will find an overview of the different types of failure problems that
can occur together with instructions on how to solve them.
