1. Performance and Installation
1.1. Performance and Features
High Efficiency
With a COP value up to 5.0, our heat pumps are very efficient when transferring heat from the
air to the swimming pool water. You can save as much as 80% of cost compared to an
electrical heater.
Long lifespan
The heat exchanger is made of PVC with titanium tube, which enables it to withstand
prolonged exposure to swimming pool water.
Easy control and operation
The unit is very easy to operate: simply switch it on and set the desired pool water
temperature. The system is equipped with a micro-computer controller, allowing all operating
parameters to be set. Operation status can be displayed on the controller with LED display.

1.2 Working Principles
Heat pumps use heat from the sun by collecting and absorbing energy from the outside air.
This energy is then compressed and transferred to the pool water. Your existing water pump
circulates the water through the heat pump, which is normally installed next to the pool
filtration system, and the water warms up. The heat pump timer can be set so that the pump
operates at the times you want: for example, during daylight hours from 9am to 5pm.
The unit contains a fan that draws in outside air and directs it over the surface of the
EVAPORATOR (energy collector). The liquid refrigerant inside the EVAPORATOR coil
absorbs the heat from the outside air and becomes a gas.
The warm gas inside the coil passes through the COMPRESSOR, which concentrates
and increases the heat to form a very hot gas, which then passes through the
CONDENSER (water heat exchanger). It is here that the heat exchange occurs as the
heat from the hot gas is transferred to the cool swimming pool water circulating through
the heat exchanger.
The pool water becomes warmer and the hot gas returns to its liquid form as it flows
through the CONDENSER coil. The gas then passes through the CAPILLARY TUBE
and the whole process begins again.
Developments in heat pump technology mean that today heat pumps can efficiently
collect heat from the outside air even when the temperature is as low as 7-10°C. This
means that for tropical and subtropical climates the pool can be maintained between
26°C and 32°C.
1.3 Where to install the heat pump
The unit will perform well in any location as long as the following are available:
Fresh air
Electricity
Pool filtration piping
The unit can be installed almost anywhere outside provided the minimum distance
requirements with respect to other objects are met (see diagram below). For indoor pools,
please seek advice from your installer. If the unit is placed in a windy area, there are no
problems with the pilot light as is often the case with gas heaters.
6
Warning: Do not place the unit in an enclosed area with a limited air volume where the air
discharged by the unit will be re-circulated or near shrubs that could block the air inlet.
Installation in such locations will deny the unit a continuous supply of fresh air, which will
reduce its efficiency and may prevent adequate heat yield.
See diagram below for minimum distance requirements:
Warning:
- Do not place your hand or any other objects into the air outlet and fan. It could damage
the heat pump and cause injuries;
- In case of any abnormality with the heat pump, cut off the power immediately and
contact a professional technician;
- It is strongly advised to place a protective guard around the unit to keep children away
from the heat pump.
1.4 Distance from the pool
Normally, the heat pump is installed within a 7.5m radius of the pool. The greater the distance
from the pool, the greater will be the heat loss from the piping. Since the piping is buried for
the most part, heat loss is minimal for distances up to 15m between pump and pool (total to
and from pump: 15m x 2 = 30m), unless the soil is wet or the water level is high. Heat loss per
30 metres could roughly be estimated at 0.6kw-hour (2000BTU) for every 5°C temperature
difference between the pool water and the soil surrounding the pipe, which translates into an
increase in operating time of 3-5%.
7
1.5 Installation of check-valve
Warning: When using automatic chlorine and pH dosing systems, it is of utmost importance to
protect the heat pump from high concentrations of chemicals as they could corrode the heat
exchanger. It is therefore recommended that these systems should add the chemicals into the
pipes located DOWNSTREAM (after) of the heat pump, and it is also recommended that a
check-valve be installed in order to prevent backflow when there is no water in circulation.
Damage to the heat pump caused by disregarding any of these recommendations will
invalidate the warranty.

1.7 Connecting the by-pass
1.8 Electrical Connection
Important – although the heat pump is electrically isolated from the rest of the unit, this only
prevents the passage of water to or from the pool water. It is still necessary to ground the unit
to protect yourself from short circuits inside the unit. Make sure there is an adequate ground
connection.
Check if the voltage of the electrical mains corresponds with the operating voltage of the heat
pump prior to connecting the unit.
It is recommended to use a separate fuse (slow-type D-curve) as well as adequate wiring (see
table below).
For horizontal models: remove the panel on the right of the fan opening.
For vertical models: remove the curved panel on the front side.
Connect the terminal wires with the terminal block labelled ‘Power Supply’. Next to this
connection there is a second terminal block labelled ‘Water Pump’, to which the filter pump
(max 5A / 240V) can be connected. This connection makes it possible to control the filter
pump operation with the heat pump. See the Parameter Setting Table below (Parameter 9) for
other possibilities.
10
Remarks: for models with 3 phases, switching 2 phases may cause an inversion of the
rotational direction of the electrical motors, which could damage the unit. Therefore, a
protection device has been built in, which will interrupt the circuit if the connection has not
been carried out correctly.

1.9 First-time start-up
Note: in order for the unit to heat the pool (or spa), the filter pump must be running so
that the water can circulate through the heat pump. Without this circulation, the heat
pump will not start.
When all connections have been made and checked, the following steps should be followed:
1. Turn on the filter pump. Check for leaks and verify that there is a flow to and from the
pool.
2. Turn on the electrical power supply to the unit, then press the ON/OFF key on the
electronic control panel. The unit should start when the time delay period has lapsed.
3. When the unit has been running for a couple of minutes, check if the air leaving the unit
is cooler.
4. Check the performance of the flow switch as follows: with the unit running turn the filter
pump off. The unit should also switch off automatically. If not, the flow switch must be
readjusted.
5. The unit and the filter pump should run 24 hours a day until the desired pool water
temperature has been reached. Once the set temperature is reached, the unit will
switch itself off. As long as the filter pump is running, the unit will restart automatically
when the temperature of the pool water drops more than 1°C below the set
temperature.
11
Depending on the starting temperature of the pool water and the air temperature, it can take
several days for the water to reach the desired temperature. Covering the pool with a pool
cover can reduce this period significantly.
Water flow switch: the unit is equipped with a flow switch that switches on when enough
water flows through the unit and switches off when the water flow becomes too low (e.g. when
the filter pump is switched off).
Time delay: the unit is equipped with a built-in 3-minute start delay to protect electrical
components and contacts. After this time delay, the unit will automatically restart. Even a brief
interruption in the power supply will activate the start delay and prevent the unit form starting
immediately. Additional interruptions of the power supply during the delay period will have no
effect on the 3-minute countdown.
1.10 Condensation
When the swimming pool water is being heated by the heat pump, the incoming air is cooled
down considerably, which can cause condensation on the fins of the evaporator.
Condensation volumes can reach several litres per hour under high atmospheric humidity.
This can sometimes be incorrectly interpreted as water leakage.
