6.3 Check-up

Our heat pumps have been developed and built to last, that is, if they have been installed correctly and can
run under normal conditions . Regular check-ups are important if you w ant your heat pump to function
safely and efficiently for years on end.
√ Make for easy access to the service panel
√ Keep the area surrounding the heat pump free of contingent organic waste
√ Prune the vegetation near the heat pump so that there is enough free space around the pump
√ Remove contingent water sprinklers from the vicinity of the heat pump. They can damage the heat
pump.
√ Prevent rain from directly running off a roof onto the heat pump. Install proper drainage
√ Do not use the heat pump if it has been flooded. Immediately contact a qualified technician to
inspect the heat pump and repair it if should prove necessary
Condensation can occur when the heat pump is running. This condensation can flow away through an
opening in the base pan of the unit. The amount of condensation water will increase when atmospheric
humidity is high. Remove any dirt that could possibly hamper the evacuation of condensation. 10 to 20
litres of condensation water can be produced while the unit is running. If more condensation is produced,
stop the heat pump and wait for one hour before checking for leaks in the conduits.
Note: a quick way to verify that the water running through the condensation drain is indeed condensation,
is to shut off the unit and keep the pool pump running. If the water stops running out of the condensation
drain, it is condensation. AN EVEN QUICKER WAY is to TEST THE DRAIN WATER FOR CHLORINE. If no
chlorine is detected, the drain water is a result of condensation.
Also take care to leave air inlet and exhaust passages free. Prevent exhaust air from immediately re-
entering the unit through the inlet.

6.4 Maintenance

√ Check the water inlet and drainage often. The water and air inflow into the system should be

√ Check if all processes in the unit are operational and pay special attention to the operation perssure
of the refrigerant system
√ Check the power supply and cable connections regularly. Should the unit begin to function
abnormally or should you notice a smell from an electrical component, arrange fro timely repair or
replacement
√ You should als o purge the w ater if the unit w ill not w ork for an extended period of time
√ You s hould check all parts of the unit thoroughly and completely fill the s ys tem w ith w ater
before turning it on again afterwards.
