VALVE 2
Completely open
VALVE 3
Half way open
Setting the valves of the by-pass:
»
Set all 3 valves entirely open
»
Slightly close valve 1 (see also 3.8 )
»
Close valve 3 about half way to adjust the refrigerant pressure.
3.7 Electrical wiring
Note: Verify the local power supply and the operating voltage
of the heat pump. It is recommended to use a separate circuit
breaker (slow type D curve) for the heat pump together with the
proper wiring characteristics (see table below). The current to
the heat pump should only be applied when the filter pump
is running . For example a relay controlled by the filter pump
could be used to activate the current to the heat pump. Further
connect the electrical supply to the junction box inside the unit.
All ECO heat pumps require single-phase connection.
Grounding the heat pump is required to protect you against
electrical shock caused by an eventual short circuit inside the
unit.

The heat pump is not equpiped with a flow switch or any other
kind of water flow detection. Therefore, the heat pump has to
be wired electrically together with the filter pump to ensure
water flow while the heat pump is running.
3.8 Initial startup of the unit
Start up Procedure-after the installation is completed, you
should follow these steps:
»
Set the by-pass valve 1 entirely open. Turn on your filter
pump. Check for water leaks and verify flow to and from
the pool.
»
Turn on the electrical power supply to the unit atunrdn
the unit ON with the switch.Slightly close valve 1 until the
heat pump starts.
»
After running a few minutes, check if the air leaving the
side of the unit is cooler.
»
Allow the unit and pool pump to run 24 hours per day until
desired pool watetremperature is reached. When the set
temperature is reached, the unit just shuts off. The unit
will now automatically restart (as long as your pool pump
is running) when the pool temperature drops more than 1
degree Celsius below set temperature.

Time Delay - the unit is equipped with a-m3inute built-in delay
to protect control circuit components and to eliminate restart
cycling and contactor chatter. This time delay will automatically
restart the unit approximately 3 minutes after each circuit
interruption. Even a brief power interruption will activate this
delay and prevent the unit from starting unti-lmtihneut3e
countdown is completed.
Several days are needed to bring the temperature of you
swimming pool water to its required value.
3.8.1 Running the machine
»
Running the machine
As shown below picture: when the switch is in the "OFF"
position initially, screw it to "ON" position, machine will
start.
»
Stop the machine
As shown below picture: when the switch is in the "ON"
position initially, screwing it to "OFF" position, machine
will stop.
»
Set the water temperature
As shown below picture, you can set inlet
water temperature range from 0°C to 40°C
by screwing temperature adjustment knob.
Screw clockwise, setting temperature
decreases. Screw anticlockwise, setting
temperature increases.
3.9 Condensation
Since the Heat pump cools down the air about -812
humidity is very high, this could be as much as several liters
an hour. Sometimes this condensation water is wrongly
considsered a swimming pool water.

4.1 Water chemistry
Special care should be taken to keep the chemical balance of
your swimming pool within limits:
Min.
pH
7,0
Free chlorine (mg/1)
0,5
TAC mg/1)
80
TAC
10
Salt (g/1)
Important: failure to keep the swimming pool water between
above limits will void the warranty.
Note: when the concentration of one or more products
mentioned above becomes too high, irrevocable damage to
your heat pump may occur. Make sure that you always insstall
