CHAuFFE-PIsCINE COMMERCIAL POOl HEAT PumP
Thank you for buying
an THERMEAU pool heat pump.
The THERMEAU pool heat pump is a self-contained unit designed specifically for pool heating. Each component has been selected with care to achieve a high-quality product in an effort to exceed all industry standards.
All THERMEAU pool heat pumps have a Scroll compressor, an electronic board with service analyzer, a titanium heat exchanger tube warranted for 10 years against corrosion. All components are of superior quality, which presents you with an effective, state-of-the-art technology heat pump.
In general, compared to other types of pool heaters, such as gas or oilfired, the THERMEAU pool heat pump has a lower heating capacity on a BTU/hr basis. Therefore, it needs to operate for a longer time to accomplish the desired results. Occasionally, it may be necessary to run the heat pump for up to 24 hours per day. However, this should not be of concern to the owner because the heater is designed to operate continuously. What’s more, despite continuous operation, it will still heat the pool far more economically than other types of heaters.

CAUTION
All electrical connections must be done by a qualified electrician and according to the local electrical codes. Always cut off the unit’s main
!power whenever the access panel is open or removed. Always install the machine outdoors (unless otherwise approved by the manufacturer), while respecting the minimal clearances needed for proper operation and heating.
CAUTION
!Proper pool chemistry is vital to the life of your heater. Pay particular attention to the total alkalinity and TDS. It is highly recommended that you have your pool chemistry checked often by an independent pool store.

Installation Instructions
Location
The placement of the pool heater is very important in keeping installation costs to a minimum while providing for maximum efficiency of operation, as well as allowing adequate access for service and maintenance.
The THERMEAU pool heat pump is designed for outdoor installation and should not be installed in a fully enclosed area, such as a shed, garage, etc., unless ventilation is provided to ensure adequate air exchange for proper operation. Recirculation of cold discharged air back into the evaporator coil will greatly reduce unit heating capacity and efficiency.
The unit should be located as close as practical to the existing pool pump and filter to minimize water piping. However, do not forget to provide a 18” clearance at the very least all around your heat pump.
Mount the unit on a sturdy base, preferably a concrete slab or a set of blocks. The size of the base should not be less than 40” x 40” (100 cm x 100 cm).
? IMPORTANT
All THERMEAU pool heat pump models feature patented, ultrasilent ventilation systems. Air is pulled through the evaporator coil and discharged through the top grille. A minimum clearance of 48 inches should be allowed above the unit for unrestricted air discharge. The unit must not be installed under a porch. Any side of the unit should be located at least 24 inches from a wall or from any other obstruction for unrestricted air intake and service access.
