Commission U.S. de Sécurité des Produits pour
les Consommateurs, devraient être respectés
lors de l’utilisation du spa.
AVISO
Al utilizar el spa, deberán observarse, las
siguientes “Reglas de Seguridad para Baños
Calientes” recomendadas por la Comisión de
Seguridad de Productos para el Consumidor de
los Estados Unidos.
Page 4
1. Spa or hot tub water temperature should never
exceed 104°F (40°C). One hundred degrees
Fahrenheit (100°F [38°C]) is considered safe for a
healthy adult. Special caution is recommended for
young children.
2. The drinking of alcoholic beverages before or
during spa or hot tub use can cause drowsiness
which could lead to unconsciousness, and
subsequently result in drowning.
3. Pregnant women take note! Soaking in water
above 102°F (38.5°C) can cause fetal damage
during the fi rst three months of pregnancy (which
could result in the birth of a brain-damaged or
deformed child). If pregnant women are going
to use a spa or hot tub, they should make sure
the water temperature is below 100°F (38°C)
maximum.
4. The water temperature should always be checked
with an accurate thermometer before entering a
spa or hot tub. Temperature controls may vary by
as much as 1F° (1C°).
5. Persons with a medical history of heart disease,
diabetes, circulatory or blood pressure problems
should consult their physician before using a hot
tub or spa.
6. Persons taking any medication which induces
drowsiness (e.g., tranquilizers, antihistamines, or
anticoagulants) should not use spas or hot tubs.
7. Prolonged immersion in hot water can induce
hyperthermia.
Hyperthermia occurs when the internal body
temperature reaches a level several degrees above the
normal body temperature of 98.6°F (37°C). Symptoms
include dizziness, fainting, drowsiness, lethargy, and an
increase in the internal body temperature. The effects of
hyperthermia include:
• Lack of awareness of impending hazard
• Failure to perceive heat
1.2.2 Swimming Pool Energy Saving Tips
It is important to note that a heat pump will not
heat a pool as fast as a large gas or electric pool heater.
If the pool water is allowed to cool significantly, it may
take several days to return to the desired swimming
temperature. For weekend use, it is more economical
to maintain the pool water temperature at or near your
desired swimming temperature. If you do not plan to
use your pool for a prolonged period, then you might
choose to turn the heat pump completely off or decrease
the temperature setting of the control several degrees to
minimize energy consumption.
Jandy offers the following recommendations to
help conserve energy and minimize the cost of operating
your heat pump without sacrificing comfort.
1. The American Red Cross recommends a maximum
water temperature of 78°F (25°C). Use an accurate
pool thermometer. A difference of 4°F (2°C) ,
between 78°F and 82°F (26°C and 28°C), will
signifi cantly increase energy consumption.
2. Carefully monitor the water temperature of your
pool in the summertime. You can reduce heat
pump usage due to warmer air temperatures.
3. During the winter or when on vacation for longer
than a week, turn off the heat pump.
4. Find the proper setting on the heat pump
temperature control and use the Set Point Lockout
or lock the cover on the heat pump controller to
discourage further adjustments.
5. Set the pump time clock to start the pump no
earlier than 6:00 AM during the pool heating
season. This is the time when nightly heat loss
balances.
6. Where possible, shelter the pool from prevailing
winds with well-trimmed hedges or other
landscaping, cabanas, or fencing.
7. Always use a pool cover when practical. Besides
providing a valuable safety feature, a pool cover
will reduce heat loss, conserve chemicals, and
reduce the load on fi lter systems.
• Failure to recognize need to leave spa
• Physical inability to leave spa
• Fetal damage in pregnant women
• Unconsciousness resulting in a danger of
drowning

2.2.2 Clearances
The heat pump must be placed to provide
clearances on all sides for maintenance and inspection.
See Table 2.
24” (60 cm) access in front of the heat pump
provides adequate room for serviceability.
If the heat pump is to be installed in a garage
or under a vertical overhang, the unit must have a
minimum of 5 feet clearance from the top of the heat
pump.
In the U.S., the heat pump must be installed at least
5 feet (1,5 meters) from the inside wall of the pool or spa
unless the heat pump is separated from the pool or spa by
a 5 foot high solid fence or other permanent barrier.
Recommended Clearances
for Serviceability
NOTE Clearances listed in
Table 2 are manufacturer’s
tested values. These are
given as minimum values.
Where local and national
codes apply, and values are
different than those listed in
Table 2, use the greater value
to ensure safe and proper
operation.
Page 8
Aux Etats-Unis, ce chauffe-piscine doit être
installé á au moins 5 pieds (1,5 m) de la paroi
interne de la piscine à moins d’être isolé de la
piscine par une clôture, un mur ou autre barrière
permanente.
En Estados Unidos, esta bomba de calor
deberá instalarse a una distancia de al menos 5 pies
(1,5 metros) de la pared interior de la piscina; a
menos que la bomba de calentar esté separada de
la piscina mediante una valla sólida de 5 pies (1,5
metros) de altura u otra barrera permanente.
In Canadian installations, the minimum distance to
be maintained from the inside wall of the pool or spa is
3 meters (approx. 10 feet).
Pour les installations canadiennes, la distance
minimale à maintenir du mur intérieur de la piscine
ou du spa est de 3 mètres (approximativement 10
pieds).
2.2.3 Equipment Pad
Place the heat pump on a flat slightly pitched
surface, such as a concrete or fabricated slab (pad). This
allows proper drainage of condensation and rain water
from the base of the unit. If possible, the pad should be
placed at the same level or slightly higher than the filter
system equipment pad.
NOTE Ensure that the pad is pitched not more than ¼
inch per foot toward the compressor end (front)
of the heat pump. Pitch slab from back to front
¼ inch per foot maximum and level from side to
side.
2.2.4 Condensation and Drainage
Condensation will occur from the evaporator coil
while the unit is running and drain at a steady rate,
usually three to five gallons per hour, depending upon
ambient air temperature and humidity. The more humid
the ambient conditions, the more condensation will be
produced. The bottom of the unit acts as a tray to catch
rainwater and condensation. Keep the drain hole located
on the right side of the base of the unit clear of debris.
If the heat pump is installed indoors, means of
condensate disposal must be provided. The drain hole
in the base of the heat pump is tapped to fit an optional
3/4” diameter barbed adapter, Jandy p/n R3004100 (see
Section 9, “Replacement Parts”). If using the barbed
adapter, connect a length of 3/4” tubing (5’ is included
in Jandy p/n R3004100) to the adapter, then route it
into a drain or outside the building to dispose of the
condensate. It is important to remember that no part of
the tubing or hose may be above the level of the drain
hole in the base of the heat pump.
2.2.5 Lawn Sprinklers
Keep lawn sprinkler heads from spraying on the
heat pump to prevent corrosion and damage. Use a
deflector if needed.
2.2.6 Roof Run-off
Make sure the heat pump is not located where
large amounts of water may run-off from a roof into
the unit. Sharp sloping roofs without gutters will allow
massive amounts of rain water, mixed with debris from
the roof to be forced through the unit. A gutter or down
spout may be needed to protect the heat pump.
2.2.7 Installation of Anchor Clamps
In Florida, building codes require that the heat
pump be anchored to the equipment pad or platform
to withstand high wind pressures created during
hurricanes.
This heat pump is provided with anchor clamps
designed to hold the unit to the equipment pad in high
wind conditions. Installation of the anchor clamps is
recommended in all installations and are required in
Florida (reference Florida Building Code, Mechanical
Section 301.13).
To install the anchor clamps:
1. Be sure that the heat pump is in its permanent
location on the equipment pad.
2. Remove the anchor clamps from the installation
and instruction package.
NOTE: Bolts and bolt anchors are not included with
the heat pump. Jandy recommends that a
1/4” x 1½” long stainless steel Tapcon
concrete screw is used to mount the clamp
to the equipment pad. The Tapcon type
concrete screw meets Florida building code
requirements.
®
type
3. Place the clamps at the base of the heat pump in
the locations indicated in Figure 2.
NOTE: To Install the brackets on the front of the heat
pump, the front cover must be loosened enough
in order to place the bracket over the lip of the
base. Be sure to re-tighten the front jacket
panel to the heat pump.
4. Fit the hook of each clamp over the lip on the
base panel of the heat pump. The hook should
fi t between the lip of the base panel and the
evaporator coil guard (see Figure 3).

5. Mark the position of the hole in each clamp on the
equipment pad.
6. Drill a hole in the cement using a masonry drill
bit, with a diameter as determined by the concrete
anchor, at each of the marks on the equipment pad.
The hole should be approximately 1-1/2” deep.
7. Insert a bolt anchor into each of the holes. Be sure
the anchors are set completely into the holes.
8. Position the anchor clamps so that the holes in the
clamps are over the bolt anchors. Be sure that the
clamp hooks are over the lip of the heat pump base
(see Figure 3).
9. Insert an anchor bolt through each clamp into the
anchor and tighten to secure the clamp and heat

Arrangement of pool system components other
than as illustrated in the preceding and following
diagrams can affect the operation of the heat pump’s
water pressure switch. Location of the heat pump above
or below the pool water surface can also affect operation
of the switch. In general, the pressure switch can be
adjusted to accommodate this effect if the heat pump
water connections are no more than five feet below the
pool water surface or no more than 11 feet above it. See
instructions for pressure switch adjustment (Section
5.6) in the heat pump start-up section of this manual for
more information. If the heat pump is installed outside
of this range, an external flow switch may need to be
installed in the plumbing upstream of the heat pump.
Call the Jandy Heat Pump Technical Service department
at (954) 970-4800 for details.
Be advised that when pool equipment is located
below the pool surface a leak can result in large scale
water loss or flooding. Jandy cannot be responsible for
such water loss or flooding or the damage caused by
either occurrence.
3.1 Plumbing Layout
Figure 4 illustrates the standard plumbing layout
with a single heat pump unit. Following the diagram
from right to left, the plumbing sequence is as follows:
Pool > Pool Pump > Filter > Heat Pump > Check
Valve > Chemical Loop > Chlorinator > Pool
NOTE For normal installations, do not install a shutoff
valve or any kind of variable restriction in the
water piping between the heat pump outlet and
the pool/spa.
3.2 Water Connections at Heat Pump
Shipping plugs have been installed in the water
inlet and outlet ports of the heat pump at the factory.
Before installing any plumbing, remove the shipping
plugs. Filtered water is plumbed to the inlet, located on
the right side of the heat pump front panel. Heated water
flows through the outlet, located on the left side of the
heat pump front. Two inch unions are provided.
Plastic piping (PVC Schedule 40) should be
connected to the heat pump. The unions, provided with
the unit, accept 2” PVC pipe.
Page 10
CAUTION
Make sure that fl ow requirements and pool
water turn over rates can be maintained with
the installation of additional heat pumps and
plumbing restrictions.
ATTENTION
Assurez-vous que la circulation d’eau requise
soit maintenue même si des pompes d’appoints
ou des éléments de plomberie, causant des
restrictions, sont ajoutés.
PRECAUCIÓN
Asegúrese de que los requerimientos de fl ujo
e índices de volumen de agua de la piscina
puedan mantenerse, con la instalación de
bombas de calentar adicionales y restricciones
de fontanería.
In some situations it may be desirable to run the
heat pump in the “Chiller” mode during the hottest
portion of the year and a heater during the cooler
months.
The Jandy heat pump may be plumbed with a gas
or electric heater or any combination of heat sources
including solar. All heat sources must be plumbed in
parallel to work correctly and efficiently.
Figure 5 illustrates a recommended plumbing
layout for a heat pump / heater / solar combination
heating system for a pool / spa combination. Your
system may not contain all of these components, but the
basic plumbing will apply by eliminating the component
in the illustration that is not a part of your system.
3.5.2 Multiple Heat Pump Connections
All plumbing on multiple heat pump installations
must be done in parallel (see Figures 6 and 7). An
equal flow of water to each heat pump is important for
optimum operation.
3.3 Check Valve Installation
The heat pump must be protected from backsiphoning of water. If there is any chance of backsiphoning, provide a check valve between the pool and
the filter pump inlet.
When an automatic chemical feeder is installed
in the plumbing, it must be installed downstream of the
heat pump. A check valve must be installed between
the heat pump and the chemical feeder to prevent backsiphoning of chemically saturated water into the heat
pump where it will damage the components.
3.4 Automatic Flow Control Valve
The inlet/outlet header of the AE-Ti heat pump
comes equipped with an internal automatic flow control
valve. The automatic flow control valve maintains
the proper flow through the heat pump at rates up to
approximately 125 gpm (475 lpm). If the filter system
flow rate is higher than approximately 125 gpm (475
lpm), install a manual bypass valve (see Figure 4).
NOTE Be advised that if your circulation pump is over
2 HP or if the total fl ow exceeds 125 gpm, you
will have to add an external bypass valve.
NOTE It may be necessary to adjust water pressure
switch if a unit is installed below the water level.
See Section 5.6 for details on when and how to
adjust the pressure switch.
NOTE Each heat pump allows a maximum fl ow rate of
125 gpm and requires a minimum of 30 gpm.
3.5 Multiple Unit Installation
3.5.1 Heat Pump and Heater Combination
In certain regions of the country it may be more
economical to run a heat pump during the warmer
months and a gas heater during the cooler months.

5.1 Initial Start-up Precautions
Be sure that there is water in the pool and that the
surface level is above the skimmer or other inlet of the
pool’s filter system.
With any new pool or spa installation, operate
the filter pump with the heat pump off long enough
to completely clean the water. This will remove any
installation residue from the water.
Page 20
Clean the filter at the end of this operation before
starting the heat pump. When raising the temperature
of a cold pool, program the time clock to run the pump
continuously.
This lets the filter system and heat pump operate
continuously until the water reaches the temperature
setting on the temperature control. When that happens,
the heat pump will automatically shut off, but the filter
pump will keep running.
5.2 Operating the Controller

too low of a fl ow can damage the appliance.
Adjust the switch to turn the heater off, not
on.
ATTENTION
Le manocontact de pression d’eau doit être
réglé de façon à ce que l’appareil cesse
de fonctionner si la pompe s’arrête. Si
le manocontact est réglé pour se fermer
lorsque le débit d’eau est trop faible,
l’appareil risque de s’endommager. Réglez
le manocontact pour qu’il arrête l’appareil, et
non pour qu’il le mette en marche.
PRECAUCIÓN
El interruptor de la presión del agua, deberá
ajustarse de forma que el calentador se apague
cuando se apague la bomba. La calibración del
interruptor para que pueda apagarse con fl ujos
demasiado bajos podría estropear el equipo.
Ajuste el interruptor para apagar el calentador,
no para encenderlo.
Page 23
The pressure switch is preset at the factory for
activation at 2 psi (14 kPa). This is the minimum
setting for the water pressure switch and works for
all basic installations as shown previously in Section
3.1 and Section 3.5 in this manual. Only adjust the
water pressure switch if the heat pump does not
operate when the proper flow is applied to unit or if
the heat pump does not shut off when the filter pump
is off. Occasionally, unusual plumbing configurations
or necessary restrictions in the plumbing may cause
pressure sensing problems. In these rare situations, the
plumbing system configuration may require adjustment
of the water pressure switch.
Adjustment of the pressure switch may be
necessary if any part of the filter system piping is 3 feet
(1 m) or more above the top of the heat pump jacket.
Do not adjust the pressure switch if the heat pump
is installed more than 11 feet (3,5 m) above or 5 feet
(1,5 m) below the pool surface. Consult your local
Jandy dealer for recommendations.
On some installations, the piping from the heat
pump to the pool is very short. The back pressure
could be too low to trigger the pressure switch. If this
happens, it may be necessary to install a directional
fitting or elbows where the return line enters the
pool. This will increase back pressure enough for the
heat pump to operate properly. If this configuration
is necessary, be sure to check that the system flow is
above the minimum requirement of 30 gpm after the
direction fitting or elbow has been installed.
Make sure the pool filter is clean before making
any pressure switch adjustment: A dirty filter will
restrict the water flow and the pressure switch cannot be
adjusted properly.
To adjust the pressure switch:
1. Be sure that all valves in the system are set to
allow water fl ow through the heat pump. Start the
fi lter pump.
2. Set the heat pump control to call for heat. Set the
heat pump control to the POOL HEAT mode.
then the fl ow in the system may be below the
minimum fl ow of 30 gpm needed for the safe
operation of the heat pump. Investigate and correct
any fl ow problems before adjusting the water
pressure switch.
4. Remove the heat pump’s control access panel. The
water pressure switch is located in the lower left
corner of the control compartment.
5. After confi rming the fl ow rate is at a minimum
of 30 gpm, slowly rotate the thumb wheel on
the water pressure switch in a counterclockwise
direction until the “NO FLOW” indicator
disappears from the control display. Remember
that there is a time delay before the heat pump
compressor will start.
6. Once the heat pump is running, turn off the fi lter
pump. The heat pump should turn off immediately.
7. If the heat pump continues to operate when the
fi lter pump is off, turn the thumb wheel on the
water pressure switch in a clockwise direction
until “NO FLOW” is displayed on the control and
the heat pump shuts down.
8. Check the setting of the water pressure switch by
starting and stopping the fi lter pump and checking
the control display and operation of the heater
between each fl ow change.
9. If the water pressure switch cannot be adjusted
to accommodate the conditions listed above,
an external fl ow switch must be added to the
plumbing system to ensure that the heat pump will
not operate without the proper fl ow through the
heat exchanger.
3. If the heat pump control displays “NO FLOW”,

Section 6. General Maintenance
6.1 Water Chemistry
Proper chemical balances are necessary for
sanitary bathing conditions as well as ensuring your heat
pump’s long life. Be sure to keep your chemical and
mineral concentration levels within the values indicated
in Table 3.
NOTE For spas, it is also necessary to perform water
changes in addition to chemical treatment. It is
recommended to change the spa water every
60 days for light usage and every 30 days if
usage is heavy.
6.2 Winterizing
CAUTION
Failure to winterize could cause damage to the
heat pump and will void the warranty.
ATTENTION
La garantie sera annulée si l’appareil n’est pas
hivernisé convenablement.
PRECAUCIÓN
La falta de acondicionamiento de la bomba de
calor para el invierno podía causar daños y

In areas where freezing temperatures occur, you
should protect your pump, filter, and heat pump from
the elements. Perform the following steps to completely
drain the heat pump (see Figure 15).
1. Turn off the electrical power to the heat pump at
the main breaker panel.
4. Open the drain located on the lower front panel of
the heat pump to drain the remaining water from
the heat exchanger. Leave the drain open until the
unit is ready for seasonal start-up. Make sure all
water has drained from the heat pump.
5. Cover only the top of the heat pump to prevent
debris from falling into the unit. Do not wrap the
sides of the heat pump with any plastic or other
material that will retain heat or moisture inside the
unit.

2. Keep all plants and shrubs trimmed and away from
the heat pump.
The heat pump will produce condensation (water)
while in operation. The heat pump base is designed to
allow the condensation to exit through the bottom drain
port when the unit is running. The condensation will
increase as the outdoor air humidity level increases.
Check the following at regular intervals to ensure proper
condensate drainage:
1. Visually inspect and clear the bottom drain ports
of any debris that could clog the ports.
2. Ensure that condensate water does not puddle
inside the heat pump
3. Ensure that condensate run-off is properly directed
away from the equipment pad to keep it from
undermining the pad.
During normal operation, the heat pump
produces three to five gallons of condensate per hour.
If condensate drainage is above this range during
operation or if water continues to drain from the base
when the heat pump is not in operation for more than an
hour, a leak in the internal plumbing may have occurred.
Call a qualified heat pump technician to investigate the
problem.
Keep the top air flow discharge and air flow intake
area clear of debris so the air flow though the heat pump
is not restricted. The cooler discharge air from the top
should not accumulate and be drawn into the side air
intake coils. Keep all plants and shrubs trimmed away
from the heat pump.
Make sure the front of the unit is accessible for
future service.
Keep lawn sprinkler heads from spraying on the
heat pump to prevent corrosion and damage. Use a
deflector if needed.
If the unit is installed under a very sharp roof pitch
or under a roof without a gutter, a gutter or diverter
should be fitted to prevent excessive water from pouring
down into the unit.
6.4.2 Professional Inspection
Inspections performed at least once a year by a
qualified technician are required to maintain your heat
pump’s safe and efficient operation. The following
basic safety checks must be performed.
1 Check for loose or broken wires and terminal
connections.
2. Verify the pressure switch operation. Turn the heat
pump OFF. Disconnect the power to the pump
time clock, or turn the pump time clock to an OFF
position. Turn the heat pump back ON. The heat
pump must not come on.
3. Inspect the electrical controls, specifi cally the
following:
a. High and Low limits
b. Pressure switch
c. Temperature control
4. Inspect the evaporator coil for blockage and clean
as necessary.
Page 26
5. Check for spider webs or debris in the condensate
drain; clean if necessary.
6. Conduct a normal operating cycle and observe that
the unit operates properly.
Section 7. Professional Maintenance
and Service
7.1 Heat Pump Design
The Jandy Air Energy Heat Pump is one of the
most efficient ways to heat a pool or spa. The heat pump
transfers heat from the outside air to the pool or spa
water by means of an internal heat exchanger.
When the fan is turned on, warm air is drawn
through the refrigerant charged evaporator, turning
the cold liquid refrigerant to a warm gas. The gas then
flows through the compressor where it is compressed
resulting in a much higher temperature.
The hot gas enters the heat exchanger where the
water extracts the heat. The pump pulls in cool pool
water, which in turn converts the hot gas back into a
liquid refrigerant and starts the cycle over again.
NOTE The maximum heat output and effi ciency of
a heat pump is dependent upon the quality
and performance of the major components
used. Equally important are the environmental
conditions (for example, air temperature,
humidity, water temperature, and wind).
Reversing Valve - (For Hybrid Units with Optional
Chiller and Hot Gas Defrost) The reversing valve
reverses the fl ow of the refrigerant, which results
in transferring cold gas to the water, thus lowering
the temperature.

7.2 Heat Pump Components and
Operation
Evaporator - As air passes through the evaporator, the
refrigerant in the evaporator absorbs heat from the
ambient air. The warmer the ambient air and the
larger the surface area of the evaporator the more
heat it can collect
Fan - The heat pump fan produces high volume airfl ow.
Adequate airfl ow is required to move warm air
through the large evaporator.
Compressor - The compressor compresses the
refrigerant gas to a higher pressure, increasing the
temperature.
Heat Exchanger - As the fi nal step to the heating
process, the heat exchanger transfers the heat
from the hot gas to the water. (Also known as a
condenser.)

Section 8. Troubleshooting
8.1 Troubleshooting Guide
The following table provides symptoms and
solutions for general troubleshouting problems for the
heat pump.
SYMPTOMCORRECTIVE ACTION
Heat pump will not start, no control board display.Breaker or fuse may be tripped. Reset breaker or check
fuse. If heat pump still does not run, call for service.
Three-phase models only - The phases may be
reversed or there may be a loss of phase, call for service.
Heat pump will not start, control board display working.Heat pump may be in delay count down of 5 minutes.
Make sure control board thermostat is calling for heater
to come on (check setting on thermostat and temperature
reading). Make sure heat pump is not in cooling mode.
Heat pump runs but does not heat.Verify cold air is blowing out the top of the heat pump. If
the heat pump has just been installed or if the pool water
has been allowed to cool significantly, it is necessary
to run the heat pump continually for 24-48 hours. If the
heat pump has been in operation for some time, increase
the circulating pump time, or switch the control board
to Maintain Heat function. If heating a spa, verify no air
intake stand pipes are open. If heat pump still does not
heat, call for service.

Verify circulating pump is on and all necessary valves
are in the correct positions. Verify filter and skimmers
are clean. Check water level in pool. Temporarily turn off
all fountains and water falls that bypass the heat pump
water inlet. If this does not correct the problem, call for
service.
Verify circulating pump is on and that there are no
water flow restrictions to the heat pump. Make sure all
necessary valves are open or in the proper positions to
allow proper water flow to the heat pump. Verify filter and
skimmers are clean. Check for water level in the pool.
This condition may also appear if the heat pump has
not been operated for an extended period. To clear the
condition, cycle the heat pump, on and off, up to 3 times.
If this does not correct the problem, call for service.
Check that fan is operating and air is coming out of the
top of the heat pump, while short cycling. If heat pump
does not run at all, call for service.
heat pump off, then turn circulating pump off for at least
one hour to see if the water leak stops. If the water leak
stops, normal condensation is occurring. If the water leak
continues, after the heat pump is shut off for at least one
hour, call for service.

Low or restricted water flow through the heat pump.
The external bypass valve is in the wrong position, or the water
flow switch has malfunctioned. The water flow switch opens creating
a fault and the heat pump shuts off.
When the ambient temperature is low, the suction pressure can
drop significantly.
This fault will cause the low pressure switch to open and the control
will shut off the compressor.
When the head pressure builds too high, the high pressure switch
will open causing the heat pump to shut off immediately.
The control will sense this fault condition and shut off the
compressor until the switch re-closes.
When the POOL or SPA water temperature heats to the maximum
allowed temperature or above, there could be safety risks for
anyone in the water.
The water thermostat will read this temperature and the control will
shut off the heat pump unless it is in CHILLER mode.
This feature also remains active when the control calls for
heat through a remote thermostat. This is to insure that water
temperature does not go to an abnormally high level due to a
possible malfunction of the remote sensor.
