HEAT EXCHANGER
The compressed hot refrigerant releases it's heat to the
pool water inside the heat exchanger. The exchanger is
a tube within a tube construction, water passing through
the inner tube, hot gas passing
through the outer tube. The refriger-
ant is transformed into a liquid state
as it exits the heat exchanger. There-
fore it is also referred to
as a condenser coil. (Heat & Cool Models,
process is reverse). The exchanger is en-
cased inside a block of closed cell foam to
prevent heat loss and corrosion.
See the cross section.
Turning up the thermostat will start the
unit running. When the pool water has
been heated to the thermostat setting, the
unit will shut off. When the pool water
temperature loses one to two degrees,
the thermostat will activate the unit.
There are no temperature graduate num-
bers printed on the thermostat face. To
obtain an exact temperature, turn the t-stat
all the way up and then place a pool type
thermometer in the pool water itself. Once
the water has reached your target tempera-
ture on the thermometer, turn the thermo-
stat knob backwards until the heater just
shuts off. Make a mental note of knob in-
dicator. Therefore your thermostat will be
set at the thermometer reading.
THERMOSTAT CONTROL & SETTINGS
FAN-AIR CIRCULATION
Once the t-stat is activated the
fan will begin to turn. To ab-
sorb heat energy, the fan circu-
lates warmer air through the
evaporator coil at about 4000
cubic feet per minute. The fan
runs independently from the
compressor. The compressor
will start within 5 to 7 minutes
after the fan.
COMPRESSOR
Once the fan is running, the compressor will start 5 to
7 minutes later, it's controlled by a time delay device.
The compressor pumps and compresses re-
frigerant gas. When refrigerant gas is com-
pressed it intensifies the heat before it is
release to the pool water. This compressed
hot gas is pumped through the heat ex-
changer where it delivers heat to the pool
water passing through the same heat ex-
changer.
EVAPORATOR AIR COIL
The fan circulates the warmer out-
side air through the evaporator air
coil to collect any available heat. The
cooler Freon™ absorbs this heat
causing it to evaporate into a gas.
Therefore the compressor can com-
press the gas to maximize the gain
heat from the air. The fan discharges
cooler air when the compressor is running. Process is
reversed in Heat & Cool models while in cooling mode.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The heat pump system
uses 410-A refrigerant to
transfer the heat from the
outside air to the pool
water.
OPERATIONAL SEQUENCE
THERMOSTAT CONTROL & SETTINGS FOR
HEAT & COOL MODELS
For heating modes on these models,
make sure toggle is selected to heat and
follow the previous instructions above.
For cooling mode make sure toggle is
selected to cool. Turning down the ther-
mostat counter clockwise will start the
unit running. When the pool water has
been cooled to the thermostat setting,
the unit will shut off. When the pool
water temperature rises one to two degrees, the thermo-
stat will activate the unit. There are no temperature gradu-
ate numbers printed on the thermostat face. To obtain an
exact temperature, turn the t-stat all the way down and
then place a pool type thermometer in the pool water it-
self. Once the water has reached your target temperature
on the thermometer, turn the thermostat knob forwards
until the heater just shuts off. Therefore your thermostat
will be set at the thermometer reading.
