FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Failure to heed the following warnings may result in
permanent injury, electrocution or drowning.
WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY
MANDATORY SAFETY MEASURES
Congratulations for your purchase of a Elite heat pump. Your new Elite heat pump will extend your
pool season and bring you years of comfort and enjoyment.
This document will help to answer any questions you may have, will provide technical support and
will allow you to take full advantage of your new Elite heat pump safely.
Please take the time to read this document in its entirety.
IMPORTANT: YOUR HEAT PUMP MUST BE INSTALLED
BY A CERTIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
ELECTRICAL HAZARDS
To reduce the risk of electrical shock:
- All electrical connections should be made by a licensed electrician in accordance with national,
provincial and local codes and standards.
- Before installing or removing any Elite equipment, make sure that all breakers covering the pool
area have been turned off.
- A clearly identified breaker must be installed in order to be able to interrupt power to the heat
pump in case of an emergency.
- Never open the electrical box without having shut off all power sources to the heat pump
beforehand.
- If your heat pump is equipped with a water pump control option, don’t forget to turn off the breaker
for this pump prior to intervening.
CHEMICAL HAZARDS
Poorly balanced water may produce bacteria that can affect your health as well as damage your
pool and its equipment. Have your water analyzed weekly by an expert.
To avoid injury when using chemical products, wear rubber gloves and safety goggles, and work in
a well-ventilated area. Choose wisely the area where you will be handling these chemicals, as they
may damage any surface they come in contact with.

WATER PRESSURE EQUIPMENT HAZARDS
WARNING
Failure to heed the following warnings may result in damages
to your pool equipment.
WARNING
Avoir injuries cause by electrical current.
Your water filtration system works under pressure, and water pressure may go off prior to work
beginning. Please refer to the water filtration system instruction manual for more information.
PREVENTING INJURIES AND DROWNING
To reduce the risk of injury, do not authorize children to operate this device.
Do not allow anyone, and particularly children, to sit, climb or lean on any installed equipment
that is part of your pool operation system. Unless otherwise specified, ALL components of your
pool operation system should be at least 1 metre away from the pool so that children may not use
them access the pool, which could result in injury or drowning.
The thermodynamic and electrical specifications are outlined on the rating plate.
Elite heat pumps have a 240V – 1 phase voltage. Make sure you have the appropriate electrical
connections.
Make sure that there is no watering or sprinkler system near or aimed at the water heater. Most
water sprinkling systems are connected to wells whose water contains minerals, sulphur and other
aggressive contaminants. These contaminants may promote corrosion and affect the efficiency of
your heat pump.
ELECTRICAL WARNINGS
Installations should be performed by qualified professionals only. Any installation performed by
another unqualified individual may entail risks for that individual and/or other people.
Electrical installation should conform to the National Electrical Code as well as any provincial
or municipal standards.

INTRODUCTION
A SOURCE OF SAVINGS
Your heat pump will allow you to realize substantial savings compared to other means of heating your pool. Even if
it has a lower heating capacity (BTU / h), which forces it to operate up to 24 hours a day in some cases, the heat
pump remains the most inexpensive way to heat your pool, thanks to the use of advanced techniques in
thermodynamics.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Your heat pump works the same way as a water pump. While the water pump transfers water from one place to
another, your heat pump transfers heat between the air and the water in your pool. Your heat pump does not produce
heat, just like a water pump does not produce water with the energy it consumes. Thus it is possible to achieve
yields of up to 600% or 700% under optimum conditions, or a COP of between 6 and 7. In other words, for every
kilowatt that your heat pump uses, it transfers up to 6 or 7 kilowatts between the air and the water in your pool. This
compares favourably with the 80% to 95% yield of a traditional gas, oil or electric pool water heater. However, it is
true that the performance of traditional pool water heaters remains constant regardless of weather conditions, while
that of heat pump varies. But even when temperatures are cooler, the heat pump continues to transfer energy and it
remains advantageous in night time temperatures as low as 5°C (41°F).

Your new heat pump has been designed to necessitate minimal maintenance. However, if you want your
pool to be heated as efficiently as possible, you should abide by the installation and maintenance advice
contained in this document.
POSITIONING
Choosing the area where your heat pump will be installed is extremely important. You must respect the
following guidelines.
VENTILATION AND ACCESSIBILITY
Your heat pump works, in large part, in symbiosis with the surrounding air: it is important that there be
adequate ventilation all around the heat pump. Therefore, the device should not be installed in a closed
space such as a garden shed or a basement.
IMPORTANT: Your heat pump must have sufficient free space around it to function properly.
You should also clear any obstructions surrounding the heat pump, as indicated in the table below:
*Objects should be placed as far away as possible from the area where air is evacuated.
OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS
You should not install the device below a roof, so that your heat pump becomes buried under snow or
receives too much water if the roof is not fitted with gutters. Do not install your heat so that the sun
directly hits the regulator. This will not cause damages, but the display will be harder to read.
Similarly, you should not install automatic sprinkler near your pool heat pump. The device must be
installed on a flat, firm and level surface. A concrete slab or equivalent is preferred. Consider that your
device will produce condensation, so there will be water leaking around the unit.
