Installation
1.1 General
1.1.1 Caution
The product must be installed by a qualifi ed technician according to the
manufacturer’s instructions and in compliance with local regulations. The
installer is responsible for the correct installation of the device and also for
ensuring compliance with local regulations in this respect.
The manufacturer will not be held responsible for any potential issues that
may arise due to failure to comply with local regulations pertaining to in-
stallation.
That this device must be handled by competent and capable people (physi-
cally and mentally) who have received adequate instructions for use (by
reading the user guide or as instructed by the installer).
Persons who do not satisfy these requirements must not handle the appli-
ance so as to avoid exposure to potentially dangerous parts.
In the event of malfunction do not attempt to repair the appliance yourself:
call your retailer.
If a water treatment system (chlorinator, salt chlorinator, etc…) is fi tted on
the fi ltration system of the pool, this system must be installed downstream
from the heat pump.
Must be used exclusively to heat swimming pool water
Not to be used for any other purpose.

1.2 Operating conditions
Operating range:
• between 7 °C and 32 °C of air temperature
• between 10 °C and 32 °C of water temperature
1.3 Installation
Do not pick up the unit using the outer casing, use the base to lift and move
the unit.
Installation and hydraulic and electrical connections must comply with the
standards that apply in your country.
1.3.1 Selecting an installation site
The appliance must be installed outdoors and there must be adequate
open space surrounding it (see §1.3.3).

• The heat pump must be installed at a minimum distance from the end of
the pool so as to avoid exposure to water splashes. The appropriate distance
should be defi ned with reference to the national electrical standards that ap-
ply in the country of installation.
• The heat pump must not be installed:
- near a heat source or near infl ammable gas,
- near a road with a risk of water and mud splashes,
- facing strong wind,
- with the extractor vent oriented towards a window or close to a wall,
- with extractor vent less than 3 meters from a permanent or temporary
obstacle.
Incorrect installation may cause serious damage and/or personal injuries
(possibly death).
Keep the appliance out of the reach of children.
1.3.2 Installing the appliance
• install the 4 stabilizing studs (sup-
plied),
• place onto a stable, solid (concrete
slab type) and level surface,
• protect from risks of fl ooding due to
condensation produced by the appliance
whilst it is operating
It is possible to fi x the appliance to the ground using the holes in the base
of the appliance or using fi xing rails (not supplied). It is also possible to fi x
the appliance with brackets (not supplied).
A drilling explanation diagram is available on the rear of the packaging box.
1.3.3 Hydraulic connections
Connections should be made using Ø50 PVC pipe, gluing the pipework con-
nectors to the swimming pool fi ltration system, after the fi lter  and before
any water treatment system . Even if the water fl ow is lower than 8m3/h,
it is recommended that a by-pass installation be used  (valve VB closed,
valves VE and VS open) so as to facilitate interventions on the appliance.
Installing a by-pass is mandatory if the water fl ow is higher than 8m3/h, use
valve VB to adjust the water fl ow and leave valves VE and VS open.

1.3.4 Electrical connections
Prior to any operation, check that:
- The voltage on the identifi cation plate of the appliance corresponds to the
main voltage available on site.
- the socket and the power supplied are adapted to the power requirements
of the heat pump, and that they are grounded,
- the electrical plug is adapted to the socket available.
• connect the power cord supplied with the appliance to a 16A socket com-
plying with the standards and regulations in force in the country where it
is installed,
• extension cords and adapters must not be used.
• If the power supply cable is not long enough, contact a qualifi ed technician.
Risk of electrical shock inside the device.
Only a fully qualifi ed and approved technician should perform cabling con-
nections inside the appliance.
If the power cable is damaged it must be replaced by a qualifi ed technician.

2.2 Checks to be performed before operating the appliance
• the hydraulic connections must be tight,
• the unit must be stable (as well as level and upright),
• the electrical supply cable must not be exposed to sharp or hot elements
which could damage it or crush it.
2.3 Starting the appliance
• Open the water supply and adjust the valves, if any (see §1.3.3),
• Connect the heat pump to the power supply : then

• To turn on the appliance: press for 2 seconds on : then
by default the screen will display the requested temperature,
• To set the desired temperature (“requested temperature”) : when the heat
pump is operating, press on or to set the value,
It is possible to read the water temperature:
when water is fl owing through the heat pump, press on :
fl ashes for 10 seconds then displays the fi xed requested
temperature
It is possible to lock the keyboard:
• lock the keyboard: press on and simultaneously for 3 seconds:
will be displayed for 3 seconds then: ,
• unlock the keyboard: press on and simultaneously for 3 seconds:
will fl ash for 4 seconds then: ,
2.4 Checks to perform after operating the appliance
After following the steps for running the heat pump, temporarily cut the wa-
ter circulation to check that the heat pump stops operating:
the water fl ow diode should fl ash.
2.5 Winterizing
Winterizing is essential due to the risk of the condenser freezing. This situ-
ation is not covered by the warranty.
• switch off the heat pump by pressing the button for 2 seconds, then
disconnect the power cable,
• ensure that no water is fl owing through the heat pump,
• drain the water condenser (risk of freezing) by removing the two pool wa-
ter inlet and outlet connections at the back of the heat pump,
• in the case of a full winterizing of the pool: connect the inlet and outlet con-
nections “lightly” without tightening (one turn) in order to avoid foreign
bodies entering into the condenser,
• in the case of winterizing the heat pump alone: do not reconnect the inlet
and outlet connectors, instead place two stops (supplied) on the condenser
water inlet and outlet.
To avoid damaging the appliance with condensation, do not cover it with an
air-tight cover.

Maintenance
3.1 Maintenance instructions
A general servicing of the appliance is recommended both when winter-
izing and when restarting in order to ensure the proper operation of your
heat pump, to preserve its performance and to prevent potential failures.
Servicing costs will be borne by the user.
• ensure that no foreign bodies obstruct the fan grid,
• clean the inside of the appliance, do not use solvent-based cleaning products,
• clean the evaporator (for placing see§ “Dimensions” in appendix) with a soft
brush and a fresh water hose (disconnect the power cable), do not twist or
bend the metal blades,
Do not use a high-pressure water hose.
• check the correct operation of the regulator,
• check that the condensation is drained properly whilst the appliance is oper-
ating.
The following operations must be performed by a qualifi ed technician:
• check the correct working condition of all safety components,
• check that all metal elements are earthed,
• check the tightening and connections of the electric cables and the cleanli-
ness of the electrical equipment box,
Incorrectly tightened terminals may cause overheating of the electri-
cal terminal rail, and will void the guarantee.
3.2 Recycling the product
When your appliance has reached the end of its lifecycle, if you
would like to dispose of it or replace it: do not throw it into your
household waste and do not use your household recycling contain-
ers either.
When this symbol is mentioned on an appliance, it means that the equip-
ment must not be disposed of casually. It will be collected selectively
so that it can be reused, recycled or recovered. Any substances it may
contain which are potentially dangerous to the environment will be elim-
inated or neutralised.
Enquire with your retailer for the conditions that apply to the recycling of
your product and to the organisations that can handle its recycling.
