CAUTION:
To clean the fins, spray gently with a garden
hose. DO NOT pressure wash. Doing so will bend the
fins, causing damage which will not be covered under
warranty.
Cabinet Care (optional)
The cabinet is designed for outdoor use and requires little
care. However, you can clean it if you wish.
A
WARNING:
Shut OFF electricity to the unit before
cleaning.
Wash the cabinet with soap and water.
Unplug Condensation Drain Holes
The unit extracts humidity from the air as it passes through
the coil, similar to the way a cold drink outside “sweats”
on a hot day. This condensation drains from the bottom of
the unit.
1. Routinely check to be sure the condensation drain
holes in the base of the unit are not plugged with dirt
or debris.
2. If condensation becomes a problem, optional drain
pans are available from your heater distributor or
pool dealer.
18. TROUBLESHOOTING
If your unit does not operate, or simply does not heat your
pool water, Fault Codes (digital models), or the indicator
lamps (analog models) on the front control panel, can
provide valuable clues as to what is wrong, and may
even indicate precisely what the problem is. Always
observe these codes (or lamps) before calling a service
representative. By reporting on the telephone the Fault
Codes (or which lamps are ON or OFF) that are showing,
the service rep may be able to solve the problem without
the expense of a service call.
NOTE:
If the compressor fails to start when energized,
and there are no faults detected in the wiring, contact the
factory for the appropriate “Hard Start Kit.”
A. Unit Is Running, But Not Heating
• Is water flow through the unit adequate? Check the
unit for obstructions, such as a clogged filter pump
strainer, a dirty filter, or valves not positioned correctly.
• Is the ejected air from the unit 8°–10°F (4.4°–5.6°C)
cooler than incoming air? If so, the unit is extracting
heat from the air and transferring it to the pool.
• Is water condensing on the evaporator and internal
copper pipes? This is also evidence of heat removal
from the air. When the air is cool with low humidity,
condensation may not be evident.
• How long has the unit been operating? During initial
pool heating in cold weather, it may require a week to
elevate the water temperature to a comfortable level.
Normally, it takes about 4 days.
How many hours per day is the unit operating?
Remember
that the heater only operates while the pool pump is
running.
Set the time clock to permit 24 hour per day
operation. After the desired temperature is reached, return
the unit to normal operation of 8–10 hours per day.
NOTE:
If the pool pump and heater shut OFF before the
water temperature is raised to the desired level, you must
lengthen the running time of both. To do this, reset the
time clock dial for the longer running time, or manually
operate the pump with the timer override switch. Since
the unit capacity and efficiency are both greater at higher
ambient air temperatures, run time should be set to take
advantage of all daylight hours, when the air is generally
warmer.
• Is airflow through the unit being obstructed?
Restrictions such as shrubbery, tall grass, dirty
coils, or any other obstruction to airflow will reduce
performance.
• Is the pool blanket/cover being used? Unblanketed
pools can lose up to 10 degrees per night compared
to 4 degrees 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 or control panel Power
lamp 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 higher
than the current water temperature. On analog units,
all 3 lamps should be illuminated and the fan should
begin to run.
• 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 or Heat Demand lamp ON? If
not, then the thermostat setting is not higher than
the temperature of the water. Raise the thermostat
setting.
NOTE:
The heater will not run when the Remote position
is selected on the Pool/Spa selector switch and there is
no remote control system attached.
