OWNER’S MANUAL
Water piping
The piping sequence is as follows: pool pump > filter > heater > pool. Auto-
mated chlorine distribution systems, if used, must be placed downstream of
the heater to minimize harm to the pool equipment. Use rigid PVC piping if
possible (SCH40 or SCH80). All joints should be glued with PVC glue. When
the piping installation is complete, operate the pool pump and check the sys-
tem for leaks. Then, check the filter pressure gauge to verify that there isn’t
any indication of excessive pump head pressure.
You can also make the connections using high-pressure flexible hose, but
make sure the hose can withstand high pressure. The installation of a bypass
is not necessary unless the water flow exceeds 80 GPM.
Note:
Certain installations have valves which isolate the heat pump from the water circuit. If the heat exchanger
is deprived of water circulation for several days, high chlorine gas could cause excessive corrosion. If the disconnect
switch is turned off, be sure that the pool water is allowed to circulate through the unit, or is drained out of it.
Electrical
The wiring of your SUMMIT pool heat pump should be performed by a quali-
fied electrician in accordance with local requirements.
A properly-sized breaker and copper wire must be used.
The unit must always be powered off before opening the access panel.
