INTRODUCTION
This manual includes all necessary information about the unit. Please read this manual carefully
before you use and maintain pump.
The unit
The swimming pool heat pump is one of the most economical systems to heat swimming pools
efficiently. Using the free, renewable energy from the air, it delivers up to 6.2 times more energy in
heating than a traditional heating system such as a gas boiler or electric heater, saving 85% on energy
costs. The swimming pool heat pump provides comfortable swimming temperatures year round in
milder climates and extended swimming seasons in the cooler/ drier climates
Ecological and economical heating
By making use of the renewable energy in the outside air, it consumes much less energy with low
carbon emissions. Utilizes environmentally and ozone-friendly technology, R410A.
Titanium heat exchanger
Advanced titanium heat exchanger guarantees a long life span and protects against the damaging
effects of corrosion or rust. By using a titanium heat exchanger, the heat pump is compatible with
all types of water treatment such as chlorine, bromine and salt.
Multiple functions
- Cooling and heating functions
- Auto-operation, Auto-restart, Auto defrost
- Timer on/off: no attendance is required
- Wide ambient working condition: -5°C to 43°C (23°F to 109°F)
Reliable operation
To guarantee the stable operation and safety of the unit, multiple protection devices have been
built into the design, including insufficient water flow protection, high/low pressure protection,
overload protection and compressor protection.
Safe use
The unit runs without oil, gas or any other hazardous substance, removing the risk of intoxication,
smell, combustion, pollution from leakage.
Self-diagnosis
In case of a malfunction, the pump will make a self-diagnosis by displaying an error code on the
control panel, no guesswork necessary.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To prevent injury to the user, others, or property damage, the following instructions must be carefully
followed. Ignoring these instructions may result in injury or death.
Install the unit only if it complies with local codes, by-laws and standards. Check the main voltage and
frequency. This unit is only suitable for grounded circuits, connection voltage 220 – 240 V ~ / 60Hz. It
cannot be converted to 120 volts.
The following safety precautions should always be taken into account:
- Be sure to read the following WARNING before installing the unit.
- Be sure to observe the cautions specified here as they include important items related to safety.
- After reading these instructions, be sure to keep them in a handy place for future reference.
Installation must be done by a licensed and competent professional
Incorrect installation could cause injury or death due to fire, electric shock, the unit falling or leakage of
water. BE SURE ALL LOCAL CODES ARE FOLLOWED.
Use the specified electrical wires and attach wires firmly to the terminal board (connection in such a
way that the stress of the wires is not applied to the sections).
THIS UNIT REQUIRES 220-240 VOLTS, AC, 60 Hz, 20 Amp DUAL BREAKER WITH APPROPRIATE SIZE WIRE.
The weather-proof wire provided with the unit is 8 feet long. Some municipalities DO NOT authorize
usage of weather-proof wires, and require conduit protection.
This unit runs on 220 - 240 volts only. It cannot be used with 120 volts electricity
Be sure to use the provided or specified parts for the installation work.
Be sure to use the 'EQUIPOTENTIAL BONDING CONNECTION “ on the chassis of the heater. Please
connect this bond to a minimum of #8 copper wire; along with the rest of the metal parts around the
pool, in accordance with NEC 2005 -680.26 Electrical code.
The unit must always have a GROUNDED connection, as well as a bonding connection
Do not use an extension cord to connect the unit to an electrical power supply.

Do not install the unit in a place where there is a fire hazard:
GAS LEAKS. If there is a gas leak and gas accumulates in the area surrounding the unit, it could cause
an explosion.
UNDER THE ROOF EAVES . Although the unit is weatherproof, a direct pour of water from the roof is
likely to penetrate the shell and cause a shortage. Please install the heater in an open area exposed to
weather, but not beneath the roof line
ON A WET SURFACE. Wet areas will cause metal corrosion and shorten the life of your heater
LOWER THAN SURROUNDING AREAS. Install your heat pump on an equipment pad or concrete blocks
to prevent accumulated water from entering the unit from bottom.
IN ENCLOSED AREAS. The heat pump needs fresh air to operate. Do not install in equipment rooms or
enclosed areas. If this is a must, be sure to install an air fan to supply fresh air to the room, at a rate of
NO LESS THAN 3,000 cfm.
Do not open the unit when the power is ‘ON’.
Always shut ‘OFF’ the power by disconnecting the supply breaker or service disconnect when cleaning
or servicing the unit. Electrical shock, Injury or death can occur, as the unit works on HIGH voltage
Do not continue to run the unit when there is something wrong or there is a strange smell.
The service disconnect must be pulled off or breaker turned off in case of any suspicious condition.
Do not put your fingers or other items into the fan.
The ventilator runs at high speeds, potentially causing serious injury.
Do not block the drain holes on the bottom.
The unit will SWEAT heavily during operation. This is commonly mistaken for a leakage, but is
actually CONDENSATION, moisture in the air draining.
Provided elbow can snap to the bottom of the heater and may be directed by attaching a hose.
