Consult the diagrams on page 6 for the control panel on your heat pump.
1.
Turn both the thermostat knobs counterclockwise to their lowest settings. Using the
thermostat selector switch, select either the pool or spa thermostat.
2.
Next, position the ON/OFF switch to the ON position.
3.
Make sure that your pool or spa pump is running for a few minutes to clear any air
that might be in the lines. The heat pump will not start without water flowing through
it. The power light should be on.
4.
Turn the selected pool or spa thermostat dial clockwise to its highest setting. As soon
as the thermostat setting is above the temperature of the water, the heat pump will
begin to run.
NOTE: If you do not have a spa, this switch gives you a backup thermostat. This sec-
ondary thermostat can be used as a fall back setting for short periods when you
don't want to maintain full temperature. For example, if you like to swim at 82° on
weekends, you may opt to keep the pool temperature at 78° during the week. This
will significantly reduce your heating bills. On Friday, simply flip the switch to the
higher setting and your pool should be ready for you on Saturday. (You may have to
increase the filter run time on Friday).
If you turn the thermostat back and below the water temperature, the heat pump will
shut off. It will not start for approximately five (5) minutes, no matter how far you
turn the thermostat up. The time delay prevents damage to the compressor if the heat
pump was to repeatedly cycle on and off.
5.
Allow your pool or spa filter pump to run continuously until the desired temperature
is reached. (This may take several days.) This may require resetting (or removing
completely) the trippers on the time clock to allow it to run continuously.
6.
To set the thermostat, allow the heat pump to heat the water until it reaches the tem-
perature you desire. Then, turn the thermostat slowly counterclockwise until the unit
shuts off. The heater will maintain your pool or spa at this temperature automati-
cally.
7.
CONDENSATE DRAINAGE
Condensation is a very normal function of your heat pump. When warm,
moisture laden air passes over the cooler evaporator coil (finned air coil), the
temperature is lowered and moisture is condensed from the air. A typical heat
pump can produce 6 to 8 gallons of condensate per hour.
If you are not sure whether the water draining from your heat pump is condensation
or a water leak, you can easily test for the presence of a sanitizer with your pool test
kit. If you detect chlorine or bromine in the water draining from your heat pump, it is
not condensation. In this case, call Aquatherm for service. If no chlorine or bromine
is detected, the water draining from your heat pump is condensate. If a water sample
cannot be obtained from the heat pump, there is another quick test you can perform.
Simply turn the heat pump off, still allowing the pool or spa pump to circulate water
through the heater. With the heater off and the pump continuing to circulate, allow the
