1. INTRODUCTION
In your hands you hold probably the most advanced and the most efficient heat pump currently
available on the market. This heat pump provides warm water in your pool at lowest possible cost.
The heat pump is manufactured in tightest accordance with related strict standards and norms, in
order to provide high quality operation and long-term reliability.
This Installation and user manual contains all the necessary information about the installation,
operation and maintenance of the heat pump. Please read this Installation and user manual carefully
before you start to use this product. The manufacturer is not responsible for any personal or property
damage due to the improper installation, use or maintenance that is not in accordance with this User
Manual.
This Installation and user manual is an inseparable part of this product; therefore it must be kept in
good condition and must accompany the heat pump.
1.1 Product description
The heat pump is designed exclusively for swimming pool water heating or cooling and maintaining its
temperature on the requested level. Other appropriate application is water temperature conditioning
for fish tanks, wine ciders or horse cooling facilities. These applications should be discussed with local
installer or distributor. Any other form of application is considered inappropriate.
The heat pump achieves the highest efficiency at 15÷35°C air temperature. At ambient air
temperatures lower than -5°C the efficiency of the device decreases and at the temperatures higher
than +40°C the heat pump can get overheated which may result in its malfunction, damage or failure.
Do not use the product out of the designated operational air temperature range which is stated in
section 3.1 Technical data .
This heat pump is designed for swimming pools with up to 40 m3- HP 1000 and up to 60 m3- HP
1400 of pool water volume. For proper operations there must be water flow through the exchanger of
the heat pump (within water filtration circuit) in the range of 4-6 m3/h.
The heat pump enables heat gain from the external air surrounding the swimming pool through the
compression –expansion cycles of the heat-carrying liquid. The air is driven by a fan through the
evaporator where it will deliver its heat to the heat-carrying liquid (the air is being cooled at the same
time). The heat-carrying liquid is then delivered to the spirals of the exchanger by the compressor
which pressurises it and thus heats it up. In these spirals, the heat-carrying liquid delivers its heat to
the swimming pool water. From the exchanger there is a cooled liquid flowing to the expansion valve
or capillary where its pressure decreases and it gets cooled down rapidly at the same time. This
cooled liquid flows to the evaporator again where it gets heated by the flowing air. The whole process
runs fully automatically and is monitored by the pressure and temperature sensors. The same
principle is applied when heat pump operates in cooling mode.
Using simple language, a heat pump is able to extract the heat/cold that is present in ambient
environment and leveraged pass it into the pool water. When heating, higher the ambient air
temperature is, more free energy can the heat pump extract and thus reach higher efficiency. At
favourable conditions you pay around 15% of heat, i.e. 85% of heat is free. Please review below
drawing of different ambient air conditions with subsequent efficiencies.
The heat pump efficiency grows by the increasing surrounding air temperature.
It takes some days to achieve the requested swimming pool water temperature. This time period
depends on heat loss and heat gain balance of your pool.
Example factors of heat losses: poor pool construction, used materials, usage of cover, air –water
temperature relationship, fresh water refilling, filtration, etc.
Example factors of heat gains: intensity of sun, winds, orientation of pool, air –water temperature
relationship, etc.
In order to avoid heat loss when the swimming pool is not being used, it is highly advised to use
pool’s cover.

Ideal water temperature for external pools is considered at levels from 27° to 32°C. This may change
based on particular demands of the user. When setting the desired air temperature higher than 32°C
please review the material characteristics of your pool parts. High water temperature can damage
these materials and contribute to creation of algea. Manufacturer, distributor and reseller do not bear
responsibility resulting from inappropriate heat pump usage.

3.2 Swimming pool water parameters
The heat pump is designed for heating the swimming pool water. Although the water heat exchanger
is made from the most durable titanium, in order to ensure long term reliability of the heat pump the
pool water must be in accordance with the related sanitary requirements.
The limit values for the heat pump operation are the following:
-pH value ranging from 6.8 to 7.9,
-total chlorine amount not exceeding 3 mg/l,
-salt content 6% wt/wt.
Should you have different values of pH, chlorine or salt please try to apply appropriate agents or
contact your swimming pool builder to resolve the situation. Above mentioned values are
recommended for pools in general.

3.5 Security and control systems
In order to ensure long term reliability and fully automatic operations of the heat pump, the pump is
pump is equipped with following security systems:
Temperature based control of the heat pump operation:
The heat sensor placed on the heat exchanger, ensures switching off of the heat pump when
the requested water temperature is reached. The normal operating mode gets renewed if the
water temperature in the exchanger drops by 3 °C (manufacturing setting) below the
requested value.
Safety systems:
Water flow sensor (flow switch) placed on the water heat exchanger inlet.
The water flow sensor switches on the heat pump when there is water flowing through the
heat pump exchanger, and switches it off when the water flow stops or is too high or low.
Sensor of the minimal and maximal gas pressure in the refrigerant circuit.
Heat sensor on the refrigerant outlet from the compressor.
Time protection
The unit is equipped with a switching time delaying device with a preset 3 minutes delay
period for protecting the control elements in the circuit and eliminating repeated restarts and
contactor vibrations. This time delay will automatically restart the unit app. 3 minutes after
every single interruption of the heat pump operation. Even if there is only a short interruption
of the power supply, the time protection will get activated so the unit cannot start the
operation earlier than the pressures in the refrigerant circuit of the heat pump get balanced.
Interruption of the power supply during the pause time does not influence the time interval.
Antifreeze protection
If an ambient air temperature is low (e.g. below 7°C), it is normal to have ice creations on the
evaporator of your heat pump. This is freezing condensated water. Your heat pump is
equipped with automatic defrosting.
Manufacturer has preset the conditions when automatic defrosting gets activated in order to
ensure optimal operations and performance of the heat pump. For more information please
refer to section 5.7 Setting of the operating parameters and section 7.2 Defrosting .
If your heat pump freezes up on often basis it is advised to reconsider the efficiency of heat
pump running (heating) in such conditions.
If a failure occurs to any of above systems there will be an error message shown on the display
starting with ‘EE’. Please check section 7.5 Failure reports of this Installation and user manual.
Warning: Elimination or disabling from operation any of the control or security systems results in
warranty void.

4. HEAT PUMP INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION
4.1 Positioning
The heat pump is designed for outdoor installation. It must be installed on a stable and levelled base.
The pump can be installed in vertical position only.
a) The heat pump should be installed in spaces where it can have
sufficient supply of fresh ambient air. Do not install the heat
pump in closed spaces with limited air access and where
the air cannot circulate sufficiently. The air inlet and outlet
must be completely accessible. The heat pump should have
minimal distances from surrounding objects as shown on picture
on the right. Do not put the heat pump near bushes or trees
either, as these can also influence the air access. Every single
barrier of free air flow reduces the efficiency of the heat
pump and may lead to heat pump’s malfunction, damage or
failure.
b) Although the heat pump is designed for exterior installation (sunlight, rain, snow) it is
suggested to make a shelter / roof in order to protect its metal parts and thus ensure long term
stability of color, metal chassis, etc.
c) Do not install the device near road networks, as increased concentration of dust gradually
decreases the heat exchange effectiveness.
d)When heat pump is in full heating operation, it generates considerably colder air than ambient
air temperature. It is thus advised not to install the heat pump at places, where cold air flow
could cause any inconvenience (windows, terraces, etc.). Also, do not place the air outlet
against the dominant winds.
e) The distance between the swimming pool edge and the heat pump should not exceed 30 m.
Please note that the longer interconnecting water piping is, the higher heat loss occurs, i.e.
lower heating output and less efficiency is achieved. Practically this results in longer heating
times and higher electricity bill. It is not advised to install the heat pump very close to
swimming pool water surface.
f) The heat pump must be placed on a flat, stable and levelled surface. The pump housing must
be fixed to this surface with screws and rubber anti-vibration elements (silent blocks). Rubber
anti-vibration elements not only reduce the noise level of the heat pump, but also help to
eliminate the vibrations and thus they contribute to smoother heat pump operations and long
term reliability.Please note that heat pump should be installed above the closest terrain level to
allow the condensation water leak out of the heat pump. Please refer to section 7.1 Water
condensation .
g)The surface of the evaporator consists of aluminum fins. The fins are soft and can get
mechanically damaged very easily. Please be careful when manipulating with the unit to avoid
any damage.
h)It is advised to install the heat pump on a stand 300-500mm above surrounding ground
in the case the heat pump is to operate in low ambient air temperatures. Heat pump installed
directly on a surrounding ground can by easily immersed into snow and/or into frozen
condensation. This can decrease heat pump’s efficiency and performance and lead to heat
pump malfunction, damage or failure.
Notice: Please discuss particular details of heat pump positioning and connection to the swimming
pool water circuit with your swimming pool builder, distributor or reseller!

4.2 Connection to water filtration circuit
The heat pump must be connected to water circuit (filtration circuit) of the swimming pool in order to
provide desired heating/cooling performance. The water flow through the exchanger of the heat pump
must be in accordance with the designed value ( see chapter 3.1 Technical data ). Normally the heat
pump is connected through a by-pass. It is then possible to adjust the water flow accordingly as
filtration pumps may have different water flow performances.
The by-pass consists of 3 valves connected as shown in the picture below. Water normally flows from
the filtration pump (right side) to the swimming pool (left side) through Valve 1. Heat pump is
connected through Valve 2 (heat pump inlet) and Valve 3 (heat pump outlet).
Complete closure of Valves 2 and 3 with Valve 1 fully open means no water flow through the heat
pump which means no heating or cooling provided by the heat pump.
Complete closure of Valve 1 with Valve 2 and 3 fully open means maximum amount of water flowing
through the heat pump.
Normally the by-pass is set as shown on below picture.
The heat pump is equipped with 2 threads enabling the connection of input and output fitting (d50).
For connection with the filtration circuit use the d50 PVC pipe or 50/38mm adapters (6/4”). Please
refer to section 3.4 Description of the basic parts in order to make sure which thread is water input
and which water output. It is advised to apply lubricating oil on threads before tightening the
connection.
Please consider using fast connector for the heat pump inlet and outlet in order to make the
disconnection of the heat pump from the rest of the filtration circuit simple (for water draining from
the heat pump before winter time and for service purposes).
The heat pump must be connected to the filtration circuit of the swimming pool behind the filter and
in front of the device for water conditioning (automatic chlorine dozing machine, ozone machine).
For illustration please refer to Scheme: Connection of the compact heat pump into the water
filtration circuit of the swimming pool on page 16.
Note: In case of using the automatic chlorine dozing machine in the filtration circuit it is
necessary to install a backward titanium spring in front of it. If this valve is missing, by shutting
down the filtration, the chlorine concentration around the heat pump exchanger may be
increased to critical level and exceed the allowable level (3 ppm) causing damages.

4.3 Needed components for connection to water circuit
It is advised to use hose nut with external thread PN16 50 x 6/4” and a pressure hose D50 or PVC
pipe D50. Particular component selection depends on individual condition at your pool. Your seller,
distributor or pool builder may decide on how the actual connection is performed. These
components are not part of heat pump package or delivery.
Sample connection scheme and application example
Important: For proper operations, there must be a water flow through the heat pump
exchanger in range of 4-6 m3/hour. In the case of water flow exceeding 10m3/h the
heat pump will turn itself off and an error notice EE5 will pop up. Repeated error
notice or repeated exposure of the heat pump to the water flow higher than 8m3/h
will cause irreversible damage to flow switch with permanent error notice EE5. The
heat pump will be turned off. Please contact your distributor or service department,
the flow switch needs to be replaced.

4.4 Electrical connection
IMPORTANT: The electric connection of the heat pump can only be
performed by an authorized electrician in accordance with local electrical
standards and requirements.
WARNING: The device operates at dangerous electrical current and
voltage.
DANGER: Danger of electric shock!
a) The heat pump must be connected through a single circuit-breaker specified in section 3.1
Technical data for a particular model. The dimensioning of the power supply must be sufficient
(the suggested cross section of the conductors is 3 x 2,5 mm2). It is important to make sure and it
is nonconditionned requirement of the manufacturer to install the heat pump together with RCD
(Residual Circuit Breaker) with the actuating current up to 30mA. The power supply
characteristics (voltage, phase and frequency) must be in complete compliance with the operating
parameters of the device (please refer to section 3.1 Technical data ).
b) The electric connection must be performed by an authorized electrician and must be in accordance
with the valid local electro-technical requirements.
c) The electric installation of the heat pump must be grounded appropriately. The grounding
distributor´s impedance must be in compliance with local valid electro-technical requirements.
d) The electro connection of the heat pump must be simple, clear and comprehensible. It is highly
advised to have the connection performed in a way that would allow a third party electrician to
understand the connection at no time. Unnecessary cross connections are not appropriate.
e) It is important to carefully check and measure the electric installation before putting it into live
operation.

4.5 Multiple heat pump connection
Sometimes it is necessary to install multiple heat pumps into a single swimming pool in order achieve
requested water temperature. Such installation is particularly advised on public venues where
continuity of operation / service is paramount.
Installation of the multiple heat pumps follows the same procedure as single heat pump described
above. It is only necessary to install the heat pumps in parallel connection. Serial connection would
significantly decrease the heating/cooling capacity and efficiency of heat pumps second in line. It is
advised to insert individual valves into connecting water piping for each single heat pump. This will

H E A T P U M P M I C R O W E L L H P
simplify the particular heat pump by-pass (disconnection) in the case of reinstallation, testing or
service. Please refer to below illustration.
By multiple heat pump connection it is possible have all the heat pumps always on and running
when heating / cooling is required or to have the heat pumps gradually turning on and off so at
certain conditions (e.g. when requested water temperature is few degrees off the current water
temperature) not all the heat pumps would run. Gradual turning on and off is achieved by setting the
different requested water temperatures on multiple heat pumps. For example:
Heat pump 1 30°C
Heat pump 2 28°C
4.6 Control of the circulation pump
Microwell swimming pool heat pump is able to control the circulation pump. In principle should the
heat pump be in need for heating/cooling it will automatically turn the circulation pump on.
In order to enable this control, the circulation pump must be connected to the heat pump electrically
(please refer to section 3.6 Block wiring diagram of the PCB board ). Normally the circulation pump is
controlled by a time control of the filtration. It is thus advised to make the parallel connection
through power relay enabling both sources of regulation (by the heat pump and by the time
control).
Please note that both heat pump and the time control must be
powered by the same single phase!
Please be advised that when circulation pump control is enabled and electrically connected with the
heat pump, it is normal to have a situation when both the heat pump and the time control give
command to circulation pump to operate at the same time. It is thus strictly forbidden to power
the heat pump and the time control by different phases!
The control is available in three modes:
1. Periodical mode
Heat pump will turn the circulation pump on only when it needs to heat or cool (i.e. requested water
temperature is off the current temperature by at least 2°C).
Periodical mode can be set in manufacturing settings number 07, figure 0. (please refer to section
5.7 Setting of the operating parameters )
Periodical mode is also equipped with sampling, i.e. regular water temperature reading. Practically
this means that as soon as the heat pump reaches requested temperature it turns itself and the

circulation pump off. In the case the water temperature will not trigger the heat pump in following
60 minutes, the heat pump will automatically turnt the circulation pump on for a 1 minute time in
order to recirculate water from to the pool into the heat exchanger in order to read the actual
current water temperature.
2. Continous mode
In continuous mode will the heat pump have the circulation pump turned on and running all the
time the heat pump is in operational mode (please refer to section 5.2 General heat pump control
for explanation of operational mode).
Continous mode achieves better water temperature readings but means higher energy
consumption of the system as the circulation pump is always on.
Continous mode can be set in manufacturing settings number 07, figure 1. (please refer to section
5.7 Setting of the operating parameters )
3. microECONOMY+ Mode
microECONOMY+ mode provides optimum water temperature conditioning at lowest cost. Heat
pump will have the circulation pump running only in time when the heat pump needs to heat or
cool the water. Once the requested water temperature is achieved the heat pump goes into sleep
for 30 minutes. After these 30 minutes are passed, the heat pump will have the circulation pump
running for about a minute to receive actual accurate water temperature. Should heating or
cooling be required, the heat pumps starts. Should no action be required, the heat pump goes
into 30 minute sleep again. This 30 minute period can be cancelled by pressing any button on the
controller.
microECONOMY+ mode can be set in manufacturing settings number 07, figure 2. (please refer to
section 5.7 Setting of the operating parameters )
Please note that all heat pump models may not be equipped with microECONOMY+ mode.
4.7 Separate water circuit
In order to save energy it is possible to install the heat pump on a separate water circuit with small
circulation pump. This is appropriate in the case the power consumption of circulation pump for
filtration is considered high or simply if the whole filtration circuit running is not desired when heating
/ cooling is required.
Normally swimming pool circulation pumps with water flow performance between 4-6m3/h consume
up to 0.5kW of energy.
Such installation must be discussed with your swimming pool supplier, distributor or reseller.
4.8 Circulation pump connection
Manufacturer suggests connection of circulation pump through switching relay. Please refer to below
drawing for more information. Direct connection of the circulation pump is not advised.
