5 W elcome eam T to the Dear Owner: C ongratulations on your wise decision to make an AquaCal heat pump part of your home. Since 1981, AquaCal has maintained the worldwide lead in the manufacture of swimming pool & spa heat pumps.
6 Corrosion-Proof Cabinet The cabinet, being made from resilient, UV-Protected ABS material, can never rust, fade or corrode. Y ou can expect the cabinet to retain a like-new appear ance with only an occasional wash down and—if so desired—a quick waxing.
7 HOW A HEA T PUMP WORKS T HE FOLLOWING EXPLANA TION IS PROVIDED TO HELP YOU IN UNDERST ANDING WHA T TO EXPECT FROM YOUR HEA T PUMP … A Heat Pump Does Not Make Heat… Heat pumps are so extraordinarily efficient because they do not need to produce heat in order to warm pool or spa water .
8 Used and maintained properly , your heat pump will provide year-upon- year of safe and economical service. However , as with any mechanical or electrical device, to get the most from your heat pump–while insuring personal safety for you and others–certain operational and maintenance factors must be observed.

18 MAINTENANCE OPERA TIONAL RECOMMENDA TIONS & The information in this section is written primarily for the Home Owner , but may also apply to servicing dealers or HV AC service centers. This section cont ains information concerning planned maintenance, proper water flow , maintaining proper clearances, as well as other vital information.
19 • It is important to operate and maintain the filter according to the manufacturer's specifications. As a filter gets dirty , the water flow to the heat pump is reduced. The higher the pressure on the filter gauge, the lower the flow rate. • Similar to a dirty filter , large amounts of debris in the pump basket can reduce water flow .
20 Maint ain Proper Clearances Around Heater • For maximum efficiency , proper air flow clearances around heater must be maintained. • It is important to keep the area immediately adjacent to the heat pump clear of items such as shrubs and bushes, lawn furniture, chemicals containers, etc.
21 Pool and Sp a Combination Heating... Everything stated for heating a pool applies for heating a spa— only the volume of water being heated is different. All AquaCal heat pumps come equipped with two thermostat s. One thermostat is for the pool and the other is for the spa.
22 Calculating Initial Heating Time The time it takes to initially warm your pool or spa depends on several factors. First, determine how many gallons of water are to be heated. Knowing this, you can then compute the equivalent pounds of water involved, and the BTU's necessary to heat the volume of water to the desired temperature.
23 Seasonal Use & Shut Down During the Swim Season: • During the swim season, even if the pool or spa is not in use, allow water to flow through the heater . Doing so eliminates the need to reposition valves when you do wish to heat the pool or spa.
24 1. Disconnect all electrical power to the heater; turn OFF circulating pump. 2. At the two (2) connection unions, disconnect the plumbing to the heater (removal is counter- clockwise). 3. Locate the hand drain plug at lower , front corner of heater .
25 Planned Maintenance Program Just as you would have yearly service performed on your air-conditioning system, regular inspection and maintenance of your AquaCal heat pump will insure highest operating efficiencies—while also protecting your investment—potentially extending the useful life of your heat pump far beyond the warranty period.
26 Heat Pump Fails to Operate... Is the display illuminated? If not, ensure the main breaker (located at the power supply panel) and the disconnect switch (located near the heat pump) are both turned ON. Is the code “FLO” displayed? If so, check to be sure that the circulating pump is operating and the filter is clean.

39 Required Inst allation Clearances Code Required Clearances: In addition to the previously stated clearance requirements, follow all applicable local, state, and national requirements relative to spacing from other objects or equipment. Placement of Heater Indoor installations can be problematic, and for that reason are discouraged.
40 Irrigation, Rainwater Runoff, and Landscape Features • Place the heat pump away from direct rain runoff from roofs. If roof slope directs runoff into the heater , a gutter or rain shield will be required on the roof edge above the heat pump. • Relocate or adjust irrigation to avoid water spray directly onto the heat pump.
41 Plumbing Requirement s Overview When planning plumbing system layout, reference the plumbing schematics within this section as a guide to the sequence of equipment, valves, fittings, etc. The plumbing configurations for typical installations are diagrammed.

43 Plumbing Schematics–Flow 20 to 70-GPM (continued) For proper operation and maximum ef ficiency , piping coming from the pump and filter MUST be con- nected to the "IN" port of the heater . Likewise, connect piping returning to the pool/spa to the "OUT" port of the heater .
44 General Requirement s • Locate the equipment disconnect means within 3-feet of the heater ’s electrical enclosure, or as close to the heater as possible. Always satisfy applicable codes and standards. • AquaCal heat pumps are designed for copper conductors, only .
45 • AquaCal 100, 120, and 155 model heat pumps have two (2) identical data plates affixed: one can be found outside the unit, on right front corner; the second data plate is located behind the front access panel, on the electrical enclosure cover .

56 W ater Flow (Pressure) Switch Adjustment Occasionally , plumbing system design features will create a situation whereas the heater will abnormally cycle on the water flow circuit.
57 T o Complete the Adjustment Procedure– Either Brand Switch: 1. With electrical power remaining ON to the heater and heater operating, shut off the power to the circulating pump. If the switch has been correctly adjusted, when the water pump stops, the heater will shut of f and the “FLO” code will display .
