Important Safety
Instructions

READ AND FOLLOW ALL
INSTRUCTIONS.

Safety Guidelines

This manual contains information that is
very important to know and understand.
This information is provided for SAFETY
and to PREVENT EQUIPMENT PROBLEMS.
To help recognize this information,
observe the following symbols.

Warning

indicates a
potentially hazardous situation which, if
not avoided, could result in death or
serious injury.

Caution

indicates a
potentially hazardous situation which, if
not avoided, may result in minor or
moderate injury.

Notice

indicates
important information, that if not
followed, may cause damage to
equipment.

CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65

This

product or
its power cord may contain chemicals
known to the State of California to
cause cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Wash hands after
handling.

GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION

• The water in a pool or tub should never

exceed 104ºF (40ºC). A water
temperature in excess of 104ºF is
considered unsafe for all persons. Lower
water temperatures are recommended
for extended use (exceeding 10 - 15
minutes) and young children.

• Excessive water temperatures have a

high potential for causing fetal damage
during the early months of pregnancy.
Pregnant or possibly pregnant women
should limit pool or tub water
temperatures to 100ºF (38ºC).

• Alcohol, drugs, or medication should

not be used before or during pool or
tub use since their use may lead to

unconsciousness with the possibility
of drowning.

• Obese persons and persons with a
medical history of heart disease, low or
high blood pressure, circulatory system
problems, or diabetes should consult a
physician before using a pool or tub.

• Persons using medication should
consult a physician before using a pool
or tub since some medication may
induce drowsiness while other
medication may affect heart rate,
blood pressure, and circulation.

• Prolonged immersion in hot water may
induce hyperthermia. Hyperthermia
occurs when the internal temperature
of the body reaches a level several
degrees above the normal body
temperature of 98.6ºF. The symptoms
of hyperthermia include dizziness,
fainting, drowsiness, lethargy, and an
increase in the internal temperature of
the body. The effects of hyperthermia
include: unawareness of impending
hazard; failure to perceive heat; failure
to recognize the need to exit pool or
tub; physical inability to exit pool or
tub; fetal damage in pregnant women;
and unconsciousness resulting in a
danger of drowning.

• Because the tolerance of water
temperature-regulating devices may
vary as much as ±5ºF (±3ºC), you
should measure the water
temperature at several locations
using an accurate thermometer
before entering a pool or tub.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

Installation Procedures

Unit Inspection

Inspect your unit very carefully before
installing. Make sure there has been
no damage to the evaporator fins or
there are no punctures or oil-soaked
areas on the box. This would indicate
damage to the refrigeration system
and should be rejected immediately.

TIMES AND MUST NOT BE DROPPED
OR TAILGATED. DAMAGE TO THE
UNIT DURING TRANSPORTATION IS
NOT THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE
MANUFACTURER.

Unit Location

Once the unit has been inspected and
cleared of any transportation damage,
it is now time to locate the pool heater.
It is very important to understand the
location of the unit for the best
performance of operation. See Figure 1
for location recommendations. A
minimum of 18" of clearance between
the evaporator coils and shrubs, fences,
walls, etc. must be maintained for
adequate air intake. A minimum of 5' of
vertical clearance between the top of
the unit and any roof overhang or other
obstructions must be maintained in
order to prevent the re-circulation of
cold air back into the evaporator coils.
This is to maintain the efficiency of the
unit. A minimum of 36" of clearance
between the front of the unit (access
panel area) and any obstruction must
be maintained to allow maintenance on
the unit when necessary. The unit
should be located on a solid level
surface, a minimum of 36"x 36" for
proper drainage. Make sure any
sprinkler heads are not directly spraying
water on the unit. While heat pumps
are made for an outdoor environment,
they are not designed to have sprinkler
water constantly spraying them.

NOTE: This type of constant
watering directly on the unit can
void your warranty.

Condensation drain holes are provided
in all units for adequate removal of
condensation and rainwater. ALL

UNITS WILL HAVE CONDENSATION.
THIS SHOULD NOT BE MISTAKEN
FOR A LEAK IN THE UNIT.

Plumbing

Where freezing weather is encountered,
the detachable connection/union
(provided) must be installed
immediately adjacent to the heater to
facilitate servicing and draining of the
heat exchanger. Draining is necessary

Phone: [phone]

Operating Instructions

to prevent damage to the
condenser shell and coil due to the
expansion of freezing water.

The minimum water circulation
capacity flowing through the pool
heater is 25 gallons per minute and
the maximum capacity is 80 gallons
per minute.

Do not install a water shutoff valve in
the piping from the outlet of the pool
heater to the pool or tub. However, a
check valve that does not include a
shut-off feature may be installed for
convenience during servicing.

A check valve or Hartford Loop is
recommended between the unit and a
chlorinator. The chlorinator must be
downstream of the heat pump. Failure
to do so may void the warranty.

If you have an in-floor cleaning
system, please take note of any special
plumbing requirements to operate all
units effectively.

Figure 2 shows the recommended
installation layout.

accordance with Article 680 of the
National Electrical Code (NEC), NFPA
70, and within the requirements of all
local codes having jurisdiction.

Electronic Temp.
Controls

All Units Except PRO1100
Description

• The control located on the front of
your heat pump has a large three­character display for the water
temperature, set points, and
diagnostics (see figure 3 for front
panel appearance). The three button
keypad includes SET, UP arrow, and
DOWN arrow buttons. LED indicators
next to the display show if the heat
pump is in the pool mode or in the
spa mode and if the unit is running.

Buttons

Press the SET button to change
between modes and use the up and
down arrows to change the selected
mode’s settings.

Modes available are:

POL - allows you to change the pool
water temperature set point

SPA - allows you to change the spa
water temperature set point

P-S - changes between pool and spa
settings. LED’s on front panel will
indicate current mode selected.

F-C - display temperature in
Fahrenheit or Celsius

TCE UNITS ONLY:

FIL - used to set system run time.

H/C UNITS ONLY:

H-C - change between heating and
cooling mode.

Water Temperature Set
Point

Temperature set point range is OFF, and
61°F to 95°F for POL mode. For SPA
mode, set point range is OFF, and 61°F to
104°F. Pushing the UP arrow or DOWN
arrow buttons will prompt the control to
display the current set point. Continuing
to press the UP or DOWN buttons will
allow the set point values to scroll until
the desired set point is reached. Once the
new set point has been reached, stop
pressing the UP or DOWN buttons. Once
the unit toggles back to the current
water temperature display, the set point
is entered. The controls have a feature
called “Set Point Memory Retention”. If
the power is removed from the unit, it
retains the last set point displayed.

Connecting to a Remote
System: All Units Except
Pro1100

• The RED light may become
illuminated prior to heater start up.
The RED light will become lit when
the thermostat knob is set at or
above the water temperature.

• The unit has a built in time delay.

Every time the unit turns off there is a
five-minute time delay until the unit
may be restarted. The HEAT light may

turn on during this delay cycle. Do not
rotate the thermostat knob during this
time delay. Rotating the knob during
this cycle may reset the time delay,
causing the unit to wait an additional
five minutes prior to startup.

Water Temperature Set Point

• Temperature set point range is 45°F

Toggling Between Heating
and Cooling Mode

The unit will default to the heating
mode. If the cooling mode is desired,
press the SET button until the H-C screen
is displayed. Then press the arrow
buttons until “COL” is displayed on the
screen. This puts the unit into cooling
mode. The water temperature set point
will now be the water temperature that
the unit is cooling the water to. When
the unit is in cooling mode, the screen
will flash between the current water
temperature and “COL” to remind the
user that cooling mode is activated.

Defrost Cycle

Your AquaPRO®h/c unit is capable of
keeping your pool warm in very cool
temperatures. Most pool heaters will
not operate below 50°F. Your h/c unit
will work down to 38°F by utilizing a
“defrost cycle”. It does this
automatically by sensing the coolant
temperature and reversing operation
for 2 minutes to defrost the evaporator
coil and will resume heating function
after defrosting the evaporator coil.

This section allows you to run the heat
pump at set intervals during the day. If
you have a time clock, and would like to
use it please refer to the Time Clock
Override section.

For the TCE feature to work, your pool
pump must be wired to the heat pump

See figure 7 for wiring the TCE feature

•

This unit is prepared at the factory

with the TCE feature installed, but
set to the “off” position in the “FIL”
mode. You will need to set the
hours of run time for the pump and
filter system. See “activating and
setting system run time” below.

•

The function of the TCE is done through
a timing sequence of 6 periods per
24 hours. You select the hours for your
required filter pump run time, and the
heater takes care of the rest. It does this
by dividing the system run time equally
over the 6 periods, turning the pump on
for 1/6th of the specified run time and
off the remainder of the period unless
additional heating is required. The
heater will always operate the system
on a daily basis for the amount of run
time you have selected. The timing
sequence begins at the initial start up.

•

If your pool is at or above the desired
operating temperature, the heater will
run the system the desired hours each
day and spread the time out evenly
between the 6 periods. This makes for
better filter operation and allows the
heater to update the water
temperature 6 times per day.

•

If your pool needs heat, the heater will
continue to run the system until the
desired temperature is met. If the
amount of run time exceeds a period’s
run time, the excess time will be
subtracted from the next run period(s).
Please note that on cold and / or windy
days, the unit could run for long times
to generate and maintain the desired
pool temperature. Please see the
“application” section about “pool
blankets” to help maintain your pool’s
temperature.

•

The timing function built into the TCE
will always run the heat pump for
15 minutes every 4 hours to determine if
more heat is needed to maintain the
pool’s desired temperature - even if all
of the available run time was used in
previous cycles. This provides a couple of
added benefits. Pools will lose most of
their heat at night if left uncovered,

however, since the unit is checking for
and adding heat when needed, it
prevents long recovery times when
compared to non-TCE units. The other
benefit is that some states and electric
utility companies offer a discount for
off-peak usage of electricity. Please
contact your electricity provider if you
have questions.

•

Example of TCE operation – you require
the system to run for 12 hours to meet
your pool filtering needs. This means for
each of the 6 periods, the heater will
run the system for 2 hours and then
turn off for 2 hours. If the system
needed to run for 3 hours in one of the
periods to reach the desired pool
temperature, the next period would be
1 hour on and 3 hours off unless
additional heating is needed. The cycle
continues for 6 periods and renews at
the end of each 24 hours. Please call
AquaPRO

Activating and Setting System Run
Time - TCE Operation

•

To set the run time of the system, push
the “SET” button repeatedly until “FIL”
displays. Then using the “up” and
“down” arrows, you can select how
many total hours a day you want the
system to run for your pump and
filtration needs. The range of hours is
“off” to 2, 3, 4,… up to 23 hours to
“on”. As described before, the run time
will then be calculated and spread out
over the 6 time periods for 24 hours.
Selecting the “on” position will run the
pump and filter system continuously.

The unit leaves the factory with the
“FIL” mode set to “OFF”.

checking if heat is needed every 4 hours.
It will do this by running the pump and
filter system for 15 minutes. If heat is
needed, it will continue to run until the
pool has reached the set temperature. If
no heat is needed, the system will turn
off and continue checking for heat every
4 hours. This provides a couple of added
benefits. Pools will lose most of their
heat at night if left uncovered, however,
since the unit is checking for and adding

heat when needed, it prevents long
recovery times when compared to non­TCO units. The other benefit is that some
states and electric utility companies offer
a discount for off-peak usage of
electricity. Please contact your electricity
provider if you have questions.

Activating and Setting System Run
Time – TCO Operation

•

To set the run time of the system,
push the “SET” button repeatedly
until “FIL” displays. Then using the
“up” and “down” arrows, set the
hours to “2”. The range of hours is
“off” to 2, 3, 4,… up to 23 hours to
“on”. By selecting “2” the heat pump
will run every 4 hours for 20 minutes,
checking if heat is needed. The unit

leaves the factory with the “FIL”
mode set to “OFF”.
