Disposal and Decommissioning
Collecting recyclable material, both those used for packaging (cardboard, nylon, etc.)
and those replaced during routine and major maintenance is recommended. Suitable
collection of waste material for recycling, processing and environmentally compatible
disposal contributes in avoiding possible negative efects on the environment, health
and promotes the reuse and/or recycling of device materials. Incorrect product
disposal by the user may be punishable by current national laws.
When the unit reaches the end of its working life and must be removed and/or replaced,
follow the instructions below:
1. Refrigerant gas must be collected by specialized technicians and sent to collection
centers.
2. Compressor lubricant oil must be collected by specialized technicians and sent to
collection centers.
3. The housing and other parts, if unusable, should be dismantled and divided according
to their material type (for example, copper, aluminium, plastic, etc.) and must be sent
to collection centers.
Winterizing
Failure to winterize could cause damage to the heat pump and void the warranty.
1. Turn of the heat pump and unplug the power cable from the main electrical outlet. Or
turn of the electrical power at the main circuit breaker panel.
2. Shut of the water supply (bypass kit) to the heat pump.
3. Disconnect the IN and OUT water connections and drain out all the water from the heat
pump. Use air to blow out any standing water inside the unit.
4. Reconnect the IN and OUT connections loosely to prevent debris entering the water
connections.
5. Drain out all the water at the bottom of the heat pump panel.
6. Protect the heat pump from dirt accumulation. Do not wrap the heat pump with plastic
or other material that can hold heat and/or humidity inside the device. Use the
included protective cover.
Spring Startup
If the heat pump has been winterized, perform the following steps when starting the
system in the spring:
1. Remove the protective cover and inspect the unit for any debris or structural
problems.
2. Tighten the IN and OUT water connections securely.
3. Check the pool water chemical is balanced, see Pool Water Chemistr y" section.
4. Restore water flow to the heat pump, open the valves at the bypass kit and make sure
filter pump is ON.
5. Restore electrical power to the heat pump and test the RCD.
POOL WATER CHEMISTRY
Special care must be taken to keep your pool water chemical balanced within the
following limits:
If the concentration of one or more of the above readings becomes too high, irrevocable
damage to your heat pump may occur. Failure to keep the pool water chemical between
the limits will void the warranty.
Consult with your local swimming pool dealer for water treatment recommendation.
