• Is airflow through the unit being obstructed?

Restrictions such as shrubbery, tall grass, dirty

coils, or any other obstruction to airflow will reduce

erformance.

• Is the pool blanket/cover being used?

Unblanketed pools can lose up to 10°F (5.5°C) per

night compared to 4°F (2.2°C) or fewer when a

blanket is used. Without a blanket, the total heat

gained during the day can be lost overnight.

• Are rapid heat losses occurring in some other way,

such as high wind, spillage, rainfall, flow through

solar panels at night, or a high water table?

B. UNIT IS NOT RUNNING

• Is the temperature display ON? If not, the circuit

breaker may be shut OFF or tripped. Reset the

breaker by switching it OFF, and then back ON.

Verify that the breaker is set and operating

properly before calling for service.

• Is the thermostat setting and the Pool/Spa setting

correct? Verify that the temperature has been

properly set on the thermostat, and that it is high-

er than the current water temperature.

• Have you waited approximately 5 minutes for the

time delay? After the unit has been running and

then shut OFF for any reason, there is a delay

before operation can begin again.

• Is the Heat Light ON? If not, then the thermostat

setting is not higher than the temperature of the

water. Raise the thermostat setting.

C. CONDENSATION SEEMS EXCESSIVE

Heat pump pool heaters can produce a large amount

of condensation (water) during operation. If you sus-

pect that the unit is leaking:

a. Use a pool chemistry test kit to confirm there is no

chlorine in the condensation. Or,

b. Shut the unit OFF and leave the filter pump run-

ning to see if the water stops dripping. If the water

stops dripping, the unit is not leaking.

Service Call Verification

he Service number is 800-260-2758 in the United

States. For units in Canada, call 800-268-6966.

Before you make a service call, first determine if the

problem is:

• Warranty Service

• Unit operation (power supply, water flow, or time

clock adjustment)

Power Supply

• Verify that all circuit breakers are reset and work-

ing properly.

• If the temperature display does not light, contact

the installing dealer, since it may be a power prob-

lem requiring an electrician.

Water Flow

• Verify that the pool filter is clean to provide good

flow.

• Verify that valves are properly positioned to allow

adequate water flow through the unit.

Time Clock Adjustment

Verify that the time clock is set to permit the unit to run

long enough to heat properly.

NOTE: The MANUFACTURER IS NOT RESPON-

SIBLE for these adjustments.

NOTE: The heat pump pool heater will not run when

the Remote position is selected on the Pool/Spa

selector switch and there is no remote control sys-

tem attached.

Installing a Remote Control

Device
