Dear Owner:

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. Your new heat pump is not

only a great investment, but also the most

cost effective method available for heat-

ing pools and spas. For example, your

heat pump is up to 400% more efficient

than gas, and, when compared to elec-

tric resistance heat, your heat pump is

nearly 600% more effective. You can rest

assured your new heat pump is of the

highest quality and efficiency, and is de-

signed and built to provide years of

trouble-free operation.

Moreover, should you ever require help in

using or maintaining your heat pump, you

will find AquaCal’s customer and technical

support staff to be the largest, most qualified, and—of utmost importance—the

most easily accessed customer service team in the pool & spa heat pump industry.

“You can rest assured

knowing your new heat

pump is of the highest

quality and efficiency,

and is designed and

built to provide years

of trouble-free

operation.”

Welcome

eam

to the

Corrosion-Proof Cabinet

The cabinet, being made from resilient, UV-Protected ABS material, has superior fade

resistance and can never rust or corrode. You can expect the cabinet to retain a like-

new appearance with only an occasional wash down and—if so desired—a quick waxing.

PLEASE READ FURTHER TO BECOME FAMILIAR WITH ALL THE FEATURES, THE SAFE

OPERATION, AND THE CARE OF YOUR NEW HEAT PUMP.

Important Features of Your

New Heat Pump

Heat & Cool Capability*

Puts you in full control, year round... Warms your pool or spa with the reliability and

efficiency of our other heat pumps, but, with the flip of a switch, can also cool your pool

or spa to refreshing temperatures during hot summer months. For cooler climates,

Heat & Cool heat pumps offer unique advantages over passive defrost models. Please

read more below...

Hot Gas Defrost*

Hot gas defrost heat pumps are uniquely equipped for an active defrost cycle. Active

defrost involves directing hot refrigerant vapor to the heat collector, melting accumulat-

ed ice away in a matter of a few minutes... then right back to heating. Standard defrost

heat pumps may remain “off in defrost” for extended periods during very cold weather.

Because of their ability to continue to operate–even during freezing weather–hot gas

defrost models extend the swimming season longer than any standard-defrost heat

pump.

Scroll Compressor

50% fewer moving parts than standard piston-type compressors. This equates to much

improved reliability and improved efficiency. Scroll compressors are also much quieter in

operation than their piston-type counterparts. And, while all AquuaCal heat pumps are

known for their low operating noise levels, if yours is a SuperQuietTM model, it’s very

likely your heat pump will be quieter than any other item on the pool equipment pad.

*These features available in Icebreaker®and SuperQuietTM Models Only.

ThermoLink®Heat Exchanger

The heart of your heat pump is the patented ThermoLink®heat exchanger. One of the

primary causes of premature heat pump demise is the failure of the heat exchanger.

Ordinary heat exchangers are made from a cupronickel alloy. This cupronickel material is

susceptible to attack from the sanitizers used in pools and spas and from other related

water chemistry conditions. Once the heat exchanger fails, the heat pump is ruined. The

ThermoLink®heat exchanger tube is made from titanium, and is virtually impervious to

water chemistry damage.

Digital Controller

Digitally-based microprocessor controls water temperature to within 1º Fahrenheit of

set point. Controller also permits user to predefine different pool and spa water temper-

atures, and to prevent tampering by locking out controls via a pass code.

HOW AHEAT PUMP WORKS

THE FOLLOWING EXPLANATION IS PROVIDED TO HELP YOU IN UNDERSTANDING

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM YOUR HEAT 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. Rather, heat pumps simply transfer heat from the

outside air into the water.

If one considers Absolute Zero (the point where all heat is absent) occurs at -459º

Fahrenheit, it becomes evident outside air, even at the relative cool temperature of 55º

Fahrenheit, still contains large amounts of heat energy. It is that abundant heat energy a

heat pump captures and places into your pool or spa.

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.

Likewise, excepting a few minor owner-capable maintenance items (explained later in

this manual), repair and service of your heat pump must be performed only by experi-

enced service personnel. Should you, the owner, suspect your heat pump is not per-

forming properly, by referring to the section in this manual entitled: "Troubleshooting,"

you will be able to determine if a call for service is required. Your installer can be one

source of service, or AquaCal Customer Support personnel stand ready to assist you

at: (800) 786-7751. For questions concerning installation, modifications, operation,

service and upkeep, please contact your installer or AquaCal Customer Support. War-

ranties may be voided if the heater has been used, maintained, or repaired improperly.

In addition to voiding the manufacturer’s warranty... unapproved installation methods,

nonstandard modifications, poor or incorrect maintenance, service by unqualified per-

sonnel, or improper use of the heater may result in personal injury and/or property

damage. For personal safety, and to avoid damage to equipment, follow all safety

instructions displayed on the heat pump and within this manual.

SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING ! Failure to heed the following may result in permanent

injury or death.

Heat pumps contain no owner-repairable components. Repairs must not be attempted

by untrained and/or unqualified individuals. If service is deemed necessary, contact

installing dealer or AquaCal Customer Support at (800) 786-7751.

WARNING ! Failure to heed the following may result in permanent

injury or death.

Prolonged immersion in water warmer than normal body temperature may cause a condi-

tion known as HYPERTHERMIA. The symptoms of hyperthermia include: unawareness of

impending hazard, failure to perceive heat, failure to recognize the need to exit the spa,

and unconsciousness. The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication can greatly increase the

risk of fatal hyperthermia. In addition, persons having an adverse medical history, or preg-

nant women, should consult a physician before using a hot tub or spa. Children and the

extreme elderly should be supervised by a responsible adult.

While your heat pump’s titanium-based heat exchanger provides nearly impervious

protection against poor water chemistry, improper water chemistry may cause expensive

damage to pump, filter, pool shell, etc. To avoid equipment damage, maintain Pool/Spa

water per standards detailed later in this manual.

Failure to heed the following can result in damage to

equipment.

CAUTION !

Improper water chemistry can present a serious health hazard. To avoid possible hazards,

maintain Pool/Spa water per standards detailed later in this manual.

Failure to heed the following may result in permanent

injury or death.

WARNING !

WARNING ! Failure to heed the following may result in permanent

injury or death.

Heater contains refrigerant under pressure. Repairs to the refrigerant circuit must not be

attempted by untrained and/or unqualified individuals. Service must be performed only by

qualified HVAC technicians. Recover refrigerant before opening system.

HEATING- QUICK START & STOP

Getting Started

(Quick-Start & Stop Continued Next Page)

1. Verify Electrical Power is Present at Heater:

A. Ensure that the unit has electrical power connected; the heater controller display should be

illuminated.

B. If the display is blank, be certain the electrical breaker, and heater disconnect, are switched to

“ON.”

C. For now, leave the water circulation pump OFF.

A. The user/owner settings can be made without water flowing. Once the heater has electrical

power connected, with water not flowing, the display should read FLO.

B. Press the MODE button until the HEAT (HEA) indication displays. This action will enable the

remaining programming keys.

C. Using the POOL / SPA selector key, select the POOL mode. An illuminated POOL indicator

light, located on the left side of the display, will confirm the POOL control has been selected.

If heating only a spa, using the DOWN arrow key, lower the POOL temperature until OFF is

displayed; then proceed to Step-“E.”

D. Use the UP / DOWN arrow keys to set the desired water temperature for the POOL water.

E. If the heat pump will be used to heat a spa, use the POOL/SPA selector key to select SPA,

then use the UP / DOWN arrow keys to set the desired water temperature for the SPA. An

illuminated SPA indicator light, located on the left side of the display, will confirm the SPA

control has been selected. If heating only a POOL, using the DOWN arrow key, lower the

SPA temperature until OFF is displayed.

F. The heat pump controls are now set to maintain the desired water temperature for the POOL

and/or SPA.

2. Set the Heater Controls (Refer to Control Panel Layout, Pg-12):

OWNER- If heater is connected to a Call-Flex controller, also see “Selecting Call-Flex Pump

Options,” located on page-17 of this manual.

INSTALLER- Is heater connected to an external controller? If so, see external controller

information located on pages 41 and 44 of this manual.

This brief information is provided as an aide to installers, service personnel, and owners. The intent of

this section is to provide rapid access to very basic operational information. Individuals who will be

routinely using, installing, maintaining, and servicing this heat pump, are strongly encouraged to read

this entire manual. Herein, the terms: Heat Pump, Heater, and Unit are used synonymously. These

instructions are intended for local control of a heat pump, independent of an external con-

troller. Owners: if your installation includes an external controller, contact your installing dealer,

or the external controller manufacturer, for external controller operating instructions.

These instructions are for quick-starting in the HEATING mode... Owners of Heat-Cool units, in

order to utilize all features of their heater, will certainly want to also refer to: Owner Level Program-

ming, beginning on page-14 of this manual.
