manual abstract
• For the longevity of the entire pool/spa installation, and for the safety of bathers, it is strongly recommended the water chemistry be checked regularly and maintained within proper norms. Please see the table, below, for a complete listing of recommended water chemistry levels. RECOMMENDED WATER CHEMISTRY STANDARDS* Chlorine . . . . . . . . . . . ........ . . .: 1.0 – 3.0 ppm in pools, 1.5 – 3.0 ppm in spas Bromine . . . . . . . . . . . . ........ . .: 2.0 – 4.0 ppm in pools, 3.0 – 5.0 ppm in spas pH . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ..........: 7.4 – 7.6 ppm in pools, 7.2 – 7.8 ppm in spas Total Alkalinity . . . . . . . . . ........: 80 – 140 ppm in pools, 80 – 120 ppm in spas Calcium Hardness . . . . . . . .....: 200 – 400 ppm in pools and spas Total Dissolved Solids . . . . .....: 1,000 – 2,000 ppm in pools, 1,500 ppm above start-up TDS in spas * STANDARDS FOR COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS MAY VARY LOCAL-TO-LOCAL... ALWAYS MAINTAIN WITHIN LIMITS ESTABLISHED BY AUTHORITY HAVING JURISDICTION. CAUTION- Pool/Spa Refinishing Operations During pool refinishing or acid cleaning, the water flow through the heater must be shut off. Water flow to the heater must remain off until water chemistry is once again in balance and the water is clear in appearance. Failure to follow these instructions may void heater warranty. MAINTENANCE & OPERATION (continued) Control Irrigation and Storm Run Off • Control Irrigation: In regions were wells are used for irrigation, water quality is sometimes poor, and water spray can damage heater components. Regardless of water quality, it is important that irrigation be directed away from the heat pump. • Prevent rain water runoff from pouring directly into the heater. The heater is designed to withstand normal rainfall, but solid streams of water from roof drip-lines may eventually damage heat pump components. • If the heat pump resides beneath a roof edge, to promote heat pump longevity, a rain leader (gutter), or rain shield, will be necessary. Maintain Proper Clearances Around Heater • For maximum efficiency, proper air flow clearances around heater must be maintained. • It is important to keep the area immediately adjacent to the heat pump clear of items such as shrubs and bushes, lawn furniture, chemicals containers, etc. These items can prevent air from circulating fully through the heater, and will result in inefficient operation or damage to the heat pump. • In addition, do not place objects on top of the heat pump; doing so will block the air from exiting the heater, and will result in damage to the compressor and fan motor. • Proper clearances are also necessary in order to access the working parts of your heater. A heater that is easy to "get to," will be a heater that is easy to maintain; service and maintenance personnel will thank you for keeping the area around your heater unobstructed. • Please see diagrams, below, for specific clearance requirements. 12INCHES (SIDE) 12INCHES (SIDE) 30-INCHES (FRONT) TOP VIEW (NO SCALE) (REAR) SQ MODELS, 12-INCHES; ALL OTHER, 6-INCHES RAIN RUN-OFF MUST BE DIRECTED AWAY FROM HEATER.

Late night and early morning, generally being the coolest times of the day, are least efficient for heating. For most efficient heating operation, heat pumps should be timed to operate during the warmest, daylight portions of the day. Conversely, if cooling a pool, it is best to run the equipment at night. Please set water pump and heat pump controls accordingly. Pool/Spa Blankets... A “solar” blanket will significantly reduce your heating bills. Check with the installing dealer to see if your heat pump was sized to be used in conjunction with a blanket. Blanketed pools will typically lose only 3 - 4° of heat per night versus 8 - 10° overnight with an un-blanketed pool. Reductions of 40-60% on heating bills can be achieved by using blankets.

Improperly used, Pool-Spa blankets can become a drowning risk to people and pets. Blankets are not safety covers. They are not designed to support the weight of a person or pet. Never enter a pool until the blanket is completely removed (under no circumstances should anyone swim under the blanket). Follow all safety recommendations of the blanket manufacturer. Pool and Spa Combination Heating... Everything stated for heating a pool applies for heating a spa—only the volume of water being heated is different. Your heat pump comes equipped with two thermostats. One thermostat is for the pool and the other is for the spa. Simply position the pool and spa isolation valves as directed b...
