If a water treatment system (chemical or electro-physical disinfection) is added to
the pool hydraulic circuit, this system must be installed downstream from the heat
pump.
In the event of the appliance malfunctioning: do not attempt to repair the appliance
yourself, but call your installer.
Keep the appliance out of the reach of children.
It is important that this device be handled by competent and capable people
(physically and mentally) who have received previous utilization instructions (by
reading the user guide or as instructed by the installer). Any person who does not
comply with these criteria must not get near the device to avoid exposure to
dangerous elements.

1. Operation
1.1 How it works
The heat pump takes the calories from the air and transfers them to the pool water, by using a
refrigerating system.
Why is my appliance draining water?
Your appliance gives off water, called condensation. This water is the humidity
contained in the air which condenses on contact with some cold components in the
heat pump.
1.2 Operating conditions
Operating range:
between 5 °C and 38 °C of air temperature
between 5 °C and 32 °C of water temperature
1.3 Field of application
2. Adjustments
2.1 Recommendations for raising the temperature
protect the pool with a cover (blister cover, roller cover …),
switch the filter system to “manual” mode, 24h/24 (unless priority heating is connected),
Take advantage of periods when the outside temperature is mild (> on average 10 °C) in
order to facilitate the temperature increase (this can take several days, and its duration is
variable depending on the weather conditions and size of the heat pump). The task of the
heat pump is to extract the heat from the surrounding air and transfer it to the pool water.
The higher the air temperature, the more heat the heat pump will be able to transfer to the
pool water.
Strongly recommended to avoid heat loss.
Exclusive use: chauffage de l’eau d’une piscine
It must not be used for anything else.

2.2 Setting the desired temperature
Starting up
the heat pump is in stand-by: ,
press 3 seconds on ,
appears for 5 seconds,
then the water temperature is displayed.
Stopping of the appliance
press 3 seconds on ,
appears
Adjusting the temperature
press on and or and .
2.3 Regulator display
Display Status / cause Solution
heat pump stopped, waiting wait for the filter to start up again, if the
message persists, contact your installer
Outside temperature too low Wait for the outside temperature to increase
naturally
2.4 Adjusting the water flow
Putting the setpoint on maximum will not heat the water any faster.

During the first 5 minutes of operation: the 3 coloured bars blink ,
One bar indicates whether the water flow-rate is:
too low (red bar), close valve 1 a little, then, open valve 3 a little (or 5 if is present),
correct (green bar),
too high (red bar), close valve 3 a little (or 5 if is present), then, open valve 1 a little.
3. Overwintering and restarting
It consists of draining the water contained in the heat pump.
Approach you installer, who will indicate to you how to carry out the overwintering and la remise en
service.
4. Maintenance
Cleaning the evaporator:
Approach you installer, who will indicate to you how to carry out this maintenance.
Maintenance of the electrical components:
Approach you installer.
Maintenance of the draining of condensation:
Approach you installer.
Maintenance due to the presence of refrigerant gas:
Approach a certified refrigerator specialist to have him check the refrigerant gas load of your appliance.

PAC NET Wintering cover
For ongoing improvement, our products are subject to change without notice.
Version of 12/2009 B
Cleaning your appliance using a high pressure water jet is strictly forbidden.
A general servicing of the appliance is recommended when wintering and restarting, to
check the proper operation of your appliance, maintain its performance and to prevent
some breakdowns
Wintering is essential, on pain of annulling the warranty, because the wayer
contained in the heat pump is liable to freeze and burst some components open.
During this adjustment phase, wait 30 seconds after each valve position change as
the regulator response time is not instantaneous.
In case of doubt on the identification of the valves, approach you installer.
