2.12 Before Starting
Make sure the pool is filled with water to the correct level, the skimmer and suction fittings arebelow the
water level.
To heat the pool water, the filter pump must be running to cause the water to circulate through theheat
pump. The heat pump will not start up if the water is not circulating, therefore the heat pumpmust
operate together with the filter pump.
After all the water connections have been attached and checked, carry out the following procedure:
1. Switch on the filter pump. Check for leaks and verify that water isflowing from andto the
swimming pool.
2. Press the On /O
ff
button on the control unit panel to activate it, the display shows the water
inlet and outlet temperatures.The unit will start up after the time delay expires (see "TimeDelay"
section).
3. After a few minutes, check whether the air blowing out of the heat pump fan is cooler.
4. When the filter pump is turned of
f
, the heat pump should also turn o
f
automatically, if not, then
adjust the flow switch (performed by specialist technician only).
5. Allow the heat pump and the filter pump to run 24 hours a day until the desired water
temperature is reached.The heat pump will stop running at this point. After this, it willrestart
automatically (as long as the filter pump is running) whenever the swimming pool water
temperature drops 2 degrees below the set temperature.
6. To set the water temperature and program the heat pump, see "Display Control Panel
Operation" section for details.
Depending on the initial temperature of the pool water and the ambient air temperature, it may take
several days to heat the pool water to the desired temperature. A goodsolar poolcover canreduce the
heating time.
Time Delay
The heat pump has a built-in I to 2-minute start-up delay to protect the control circuit
components and avoid excessive restart cycles. The unit will restart automatically after
this time delay expires. Even a brief power interruption will trigger this time delay and
prevent the unit from restarting
immediately. Additional power interruptions during this delay period do not affect the I
to 2-minute duration of the delay.
Water Flow Switch
The heat pump is equipped with a flow switch to protect it from running without adequate waterflow rate.
It will turn on when the pump runs and shut it o
ff
when the pump shuts o
ff
. If the poolwater level is higher
than 1m above or below the heat pump's automatic flow switch adjustmentknob, your specialist
technician may need to adjust the initial start-up water flow rate.
