Heat Pump Pool / Spa Heater Owner's Manual Cleaning Procedures • Disconnect power to the unit (usually at the circuit breaker in your house). Verify that power is off by checking the display for lights. If no lights are present, proceed to the next step. • Remove the fan guard by removing (4) acorn nuts that retain the fan guard. DO NOT REMOVE THE NUTS THAT RETAIN THE FAN MOTOR. Fan Guard Acorn Nut Fan Motor Mount Nut • Using a water hose and spray nozzle, direct water through the evaporator coil fins to flush out debris. Spray from inside the unit to push debris out. Never spray from the outside, as this will lodge debris in the evaporator coil fins. Keep nozzle back 12-18 inches from the evaporator coil surface to prevent deforming the fin surface. NOTE: Do not aim a water stream directly at the fan motor. • Use a rag to remove build-up from the fan blades and the fan motor. • If necessary, use a shop-vac to remove debris from the base pan and other areas of the unit. • Replace the fan guard and acorn nuts, securing them tightly. • Use a rag and soapy water to clean the external plastic panels of the unit. DO NOT wipe across the evaporator coil fins, as this will deform them and affect operational efficiency. Instead use a very soft-bristle brush to gently loosen grit and grime that may have collected. • Reconnect power to the unit and ensure it is operating correctly. Beginning of season • Perform the cleaning procedures recommended above. • Be certain the water lines and the heat pump are reconnected and / or drain valves are closed. • With the pool heater power off, start the pool filter pump. Check for possible water leaks and be certain there is adequate water flow: 30 - 75 GPM. • Complete your normal preparation and / or cleaning of the pool for the start of the season. • Turn the heat pump power on and set the thermostat to the desired temperature. TIP: Setting the thermostat to its highest setting will not heat the water any faster than setting the desired temperature point. 13
