heat pump sits in relation to the Swim Spa.

Installation

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

Decide where the plumbing will come in 
through the cabinet and drill 2 x 40mm 
holes to accommodate the input and 
output of the heat pump piping. 

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

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

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

Connect the power cable from the heat 
pump into one of the 230V mains outlets 
on the Gecko controller.

Connect the heat pump data cable to the 
EXP2 data socket of the Gecko controller.

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

Use the Gecko manual to set user controls 
for heat pump and set how it works with 
the variable heater.
