A Cost-efficient Heater
Your newpoolheatpumpwill helpyousavemoney comparedtoothertypesofpoolheat-
ers. In fact, even if your pool heat pump has a lower heat capacity which makes it run for 24
hoursaday,thepoolheatpump remainsthemosteconomicsystem, becauseoftheuseofstate
oftheart technicsinthermodynamics.
How Does It Work?
Yourpoolheatpumpworksjustasawaterpumpdoes. Whereasawaterpumpistranferring
waterfromoneplace toanother,your poolheatpumpis transferringheatbetweenthe surround-
ingairandyourpoolwater. Moreover,yourpoolheatpumpisnotproducingheatwith theenergy
it is consuming just as a water pump is not producing water. It is because of this principle that
yourpool heat pumpmay attain efficiencyratios going upto 600% or700% in thebest climatic
conditions. Thismeans thatfor each kilowattyour poolheater consumes,it istransfering 6or 7
kilowattsfromthesurrounding airtothe poolwater. Thedifferenceisastronomicalcomparedto
oil,gas or electricresistance heatersyielding only80 to95%output. But itis trueto saythatthe
outputof traditionalpool heatersstays constantat anyoutdoor climatic conditions whereas the
outputof apool heatpump varies. However, even whentemperatures arecooler thepool heat
pumpcontinuesto transferheat betweenair and waterand itstays thebestchoice fortempera-
turesdownto 5Celcius (41Fahrenheit) overnight.
Low Maintenance
Your pool heatpump is designedfor lower maintenanceat a lower cost. But ifyou want
yourpool tobeheated efficiently,youmustfollow theadvice supplied inthis manual.

SELECTING THE LOCATION
The area you choose for your pool heat pump is very important. You must consider the
following.
Air Supply and Accessibility
Yourheat pumpuses thesurroundingair towork. It isveryimportantthatyou makesure
there is enough air circulation around the heat pump. Do not install the heat pump in a closed
space like a garden shed, a garage, or a basement.
Thetablebelowindicatestheminimumdistancefromtheheatpumpthatanyobjectshould
belocated.
Other Recommendations
Donotinstalltheheatpumpunderaroof. Doingthiswill protect theheatpumpfrombeing
buriedbysnow orreceiving heavyrainfall from theroof thatdoes nothavegutters.
Also,make sure thatthe digital controldoes not facethe sun. The controlwill not break
butits digital display will be more difficult to read.
Ifyouhaveanautomated sprinklersystemforyourlawn, makesurethattheheat pumpis
notshoweredby asprinkler.
The pool heat pump should be installed on a firm and leveled surface, preferably on a
concreteslabor somethingequivalent.
Keep in mind that the heat pump will cause condensation. Therefore water will be drip-
pingfromthe heatpump.

WATER INLET AND OUTLET CONNECTIONS
For all Eclipse (MP) models, connection pipes are 1 1/2 inches in diameter. For all
Generation(CP) models, theconnection pipes are2 inches indiameter. For all the pool
heaters,we recommend(obligatory forthe Eclipse series)the installationof aset ofvalves
allowingto isolatethe poolheater from thefiltration systemwhen necessary. (Seethe drawing
below.) Moreover, youhaveto makesure thatyour poolheat pumpmay bedisconnected from
thepool pipeswithout havingto stopthe waterpump orwithout losinggreat quantitiesof water.
Toadjustthewaterflow goingthroughthepoolheater,pleaseadjusttheby-passvalve(a)
inthefollowingway:
MP30 - MP50 : 3/4 opened
MP70 : 1/2 opened
AllCP’s:Closed-the internalcalibratedvalve regulatesthewater flow, exception
for those who have a water pump of 2hp or greater, adjust the valve to obtain the flows listed
below.
If the previous settings are not respected, the pump or the pool heater may be over-
chargedandresult infailure ofyourequipement.
Your water pumpmust provide thequantity of waterindicated inthe table below. These
numbersmustbe usedfor eachpoolheat pumpinstalled. A flowmetermust beinstalled onthe

longdistance ofstraight tubingon theinlet sideto offeran adequatemeasurement.
Foryourown security,andtoensureproper operationofthe unit,thewaterconnec-
tionmust beperformed by aqualified personas per allapplicable national,provin-
cial, state or local codes.
