5.3 FAQ
Is it possible to In order to
improve improve the
temperature efficiency of
performance? your heat
pump it is
recommende
d that you:
Check that
filtration
time is
sufficient
Setting the set‐point to maximum will not heat the water any faster
Why is my heat on start‐up the device remains on "pause" for 30 seconds before actually starting up: check
pump not that this period has passed
heating?
once the pool has reached the set‐point temperature, the heat pump switches off: check that
the water temperature is lower than the requested temperature (see §3.2)

Cause
Value for air temperature or
defrost is incorrect
Causes
No display
The pool temperature is above the
set‐point temperature
A message is displayed on the screen
Absent or inadequate water flow‐rate
Inadequate filtering time
Non‐compliant period of use
The heat pump is under‐dimensioned
The automatic pool water filler is
blocked in the open position
The heat insulating cover is not used
The evaporator is clogged
The device is incorrectly installed
A message is displayed on the screen
The heat pump does defrost cycles
from time to time
The evaporator is clogged
The circuit breaker rating is too low or
inappropriate
The cable cross‐section is too small
The supply voltage is too low
protect the pool with a cover (floating cover, roller cover, etc.), to avoid heat
loss
choose periods when the outside temperature is warm (on average > 10° C) in
order to facilitate the temperature increase (this may take several days. The
actual time will vary according to weather conditions and the power of the
heat pump)
the higher the ambient air temperature, the more efficient the heat pump will
be
keep the evaporator clean
during the heating phase, water flow must be continuous (24/24)
to maintain the temperature throughout the season, allow for "automatic"
flow of at least 12 hours/day (the longer automatic flow is used, the more
time the heat pump will have to function and to heat the water)
Contact your retailer or a qualified
technician
Verification / solution
Check the supply voltage and the fuse F1
Increase the set‐point temperature
Check the meaning of message §5.1
Check the water flow‐rate (by‐pass, filtration)
Set the filtering system to manual 24‐ hour
operation for temperature control
Check that outdoor temperature is within the
operating range (see §1.3)
Check the characteristics of the heat pump
according to the pool
Check the correct operation of the automatic
filler
Fit the heat insulating cover
Clean the evaporator (see §4.1)
The device must be installed outdoors.
Check that there is no obstacle less than 3
metres from where the blower is facing, and
0.50 metres behind the heat pump.
Check the meaning of message §5.1
This is normal if the outdoor temperature is
below 12 °C
Clean the evaporator
Check the circuit breaker (see § 2.5.3).
Check the cable cross‐section (see § 2.5.3)
