HEAT PUMP MICROWELL HP
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 1100 and up to 60 m3- HP
1500 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.

HEAT PUMP MICROWELL HP
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.
It is also advised to keep the water hardness on the lower limit of the optimal range, i.e. closely above
8 °N.

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 5.8 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 7.6 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 condensing unit should be installed in spaces where it can
have sufficient supply of fresh ambient air. Do not install the
condensing unit in closed spaces with limited air access
and where the air cannot circulate sufficiently. The air
inlet and outlet must be completely accessible. The condensing
unit should have minimal distances from surrounding objects as
shown on picture on the right. Do not put the condensing unit
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 condensing unit 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 the condensing unit is in full heating operation, it generates considerably colder air than
ambient air temperature. It is thus advised not to install the condensing unit 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 water unit and the condensing unit can be max. 20m /HP1100/ and
max. 30m /HP1500/ horizontally and max. 15m vertically (condensing unit above water unit).
Split heat pump was designed to provide with water temperature control of a pool and in the
meantime provide no visual and/or acoustic disturbance to a pool user. It is thus advised to
install the condensing unit away from the pool to a place where it will not be ‘seen and/or
heard’.
f) The condensing unit 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 the condensing unit 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 condensing unit on a stand 300-500mm above surrounding
ground. 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 split heat pump into the water
filtration circuit of the swimming pool on page 17.
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.

HEAT PUMP MICROWELL HP
Condensing unit is pre-precharged with refrigerant R410A from the factory. The amount is
based on order specification regarding length between water and condensing units. Normally the
condensing unit is pre-charged for 10m, 20m or 30m refrigerant connection by factory according to
order by your distributor or reseller. Should this have not been specified at order with the factory,
certain amount of refrigerant must be added to the system per each meter exceeding 10m of
connecting distance.
Please note that it is needed to add 20g of R410A per 1 meter
(HP1100) and 35g of R410A per 1 meter (HP1500) for
exceeding connecting distances between condensing and water

3. Forming and insulation the piping.
The pipes must be insulation and secured
with vinyl tapes. This is done in order to
prevent condensation on the piping.
It is highly advised to place the piping into
a plastic protector when installed in the
ground (soil).
On places where piping goes through a
wall or similar it is advised to use gum type
sealer or construction foam to seal the
openings.
3.1. Condensing unit below water unit
Tape the piping and interconnecting cable
from down upwards. Fix the tapped piping
with cable binder or equivalent onto the
exterior wall. It is important to make a trap
to prevent water from entering into the
electro installation of the condensing unit.
3.2 Condensing unit above water unit
Tape the piping and interconnecting cable
from down upwards. Fix the tapped piping
with cable binder or equivalent onto the
exterior wall. It is important to make a trap
to prevent water from entering into the
electro installation of the condensing unit.
On refrigerant side it is important to form
a syphon.
4.6 Flaring work
It is important to perform the flaring work correctly. This will have positive effect towards long-term
reliability and functionality of the heat pump. Defective or incorrect flaring work is the most common
cause for gas leakage. Gas leakage results in continuous decrease of heat pump efficiency and
eventually leads into security turning off, malfunction, failure or damage.
Warranty does not cover any product, property or personal damages or
losses that are a result of incorrect flaring work, gas leakage, incorrect
welding work or improper material used.
When cutting the pipes and cables, please mind the following:
1. Measure the distance between the water and the condensing unit.
