Installation

All heat pump installations should be completed by a registered plumber or recommended 
spa technician to ensure installation complies for any future warranty purposes.

Ensure the power is off and remove the cabinet where the heat pump connection sits.

The communication cable provided with the heat pump must be connected to the RS485 
communication port of the spa control.

A bypass consisting of three valves must be installed to adjust water flow to the in.temp 
and to isolate the apparatus for maintenance purposes. The bypass MUST be installed 
before the ozone mixing chamber, with a check valve between the bypass and the ozone 
mixing chamber. 

Close the two shut off valves at either end of the heat pump unions.

Plumb the correct unions from the heat pump to the spa.

Purge air from the heat pump by loosening the outlets until water starts to drip, 
then tighten back up.

Restore power to the spa and then turn on jets to ensure the water is flowing and free 
of air locks.

Use the Spa Choice manual to set up the user controls for the heat pump.

The heat pump must be positioned at least 1.2m away from the side of the spa in order to 
prevent children using it as a climbable object.
Please see below diagram which details the distance the heat pump should be installed from the 
swim spa as well as the recommended clearance in front of and behind the heat pump.
