4.2 Addional recommendaons
Relave to pressurised appliances (PED-97/23/EC)
4.2.1 Installaon and maintenance
• It is prohibited to install the appliance close to combusble materials or close to the air intake on an adjacent building.
• For some appliances it is imperave to use the protecon grate accessory if the installaon is located in an unregulated
access area.
• During installaon, repair, or maintenance operaons it is prohibited to use piping as a step ladder: under stress the
piping could rupture and the coolant could cause serious burns.
• During maintenance of the appliance the composion and condion of the heat transporng uid will be checked as
will the absence of traces of coolant.
• During the annual appliance seal inspecon in compliance with applicable regulaons, check that the high and low
pressure switches are correctly connected to the refrigeraon circuit and that they cut the electric circuit when triggered.

H0357900.D - EN - 2014-037
• During the maintenance phase make sure there are no traces of corrosion or oil stains around the refrigerang
components.
• Before any operaons on the refrigerang circuit it is imperave to shut down the appliance and to wait a few minutes
before ng temperature or pressure sensors. Some equipment such as the compressor and piping can reach
temperatures in excess of 100°C and high pressures which can cause serious burns.
4.2.2 Repairs
• All welding operaons are to be carried out by qualied welders
• Piping can only be replaced using copper tube in compliance with NF EN 12735-1 standard.
• Leak detecon, pressure test:
- never use oxygen or dry air, there is a risk of re and explosion,

5.3 FAQ
Is it possible
to improve the
temperature rise?
To improve
the eciency
of your heat
pump it is
recommended
to:
• Cover the pool using a cover (bubble cover, shuer, etc.) to avoid heat
losses.
• Take advantage of a period when outside temperatures are warm (on
average > 10°C), to guarantee easier temperature rises (this can take several
days, its duraon can vary depending on weather condions and the heat
pump sizing).
• The hoer the surrounding air, the more the heat pump will be eecve.
• Keep the evaporator clean.
Check that the
ltering me is
sucient
• During the temperature rise phase, water circulaon must be connuous
(24*7).
• To maintain the temperature throughout the season, switch to «automac»
circulaon at least 12h/day (the longer this period, the more the heat pump
will have a sucient operang range to warm).
Seng the set point to the maximum will not heat the water quicker.
Why doesn’t my
heat pump heat? • On start-up the appliance stays in «pause» for 30 seconds before starng: check that this me has elapsed.
• When the set point temperature is reached, the heat pump stops heang: check that the
water temperature is less than the set point (see §3.3)
• When the water ow is nil or insucient, the heat pump stops: check that the water is
owing correctly through the heat pump and that the hydraulic ngs have been installed
correctly.
• When the outside temperature drops below 7°C, the heat pump stops: check the outside
temperature.
• The heat pump may have detected an operang fault: check for a code displayed on the
screen, if there is one refer to §5.1.
• If these points have been checked and the problem persists: contact your reseller.
My appliance is
draining water: Is
this normal?
• Your appliance drains water in the form of condensates. This water is the humidity from the
air that condenses when in contact with some of the cold components of the heat pump.
• Warning: your appliance can drain several litres of water per day.
Where should my
water treatment
system be located
relave to the
heang system?
• The water treatment system (chlorinator, salt water chlorinator, etc.) must be installed
preferably downstream from the heat pump (see locaon §2.3) and be compable with it
(contact the manufacturer)
