Fan Blades Turn, but Compressor Is Not Functioning

The pool heat pump has a built in delay timer which prevents the compressor from starting
immediately. The delay can be 3 to 5 minutes in duration after the fan blades have turned.
Furthermore, if the unit is in defrost mode, the compressor will not start for 3 to 20 minutes.
1. Check that air being discharged from the fan blades is colder than the ambient air. If
the air being discharged by the fan blades is colder, it means that the compressor is
functioning correctly.
2. Turn OFF the pool heat pump, then immediately turn it back ON;
3. As soon as the fan blades start turning, wait a minimum of 3-5 minutes. The compressor
should start up after this time and you will be able to identify a different sound made by
the compressor when it starts;
4. If the compressor is functioning, but shuts off immediately, consult the section

"Compressor Starts and Stops".

There Is Water Around the Pool Heat Pump

It is a normal occurrence for water condensation to be seen running from the unit base.
There will be on average 1 to 1.5 gallons (4 to 6 litres) of condensed water per hour being
discharged from the unit base. In order to avoid water accumulation, you may use decorative
rocks around the concrete slab or a basin under the unit. Be sure that clearances around
the unit are respected.
To test the unit and confirm you have no pool water leaking from the unit, perform the
following test which is best performed early in the morning and continued for the whole
day:
3. Turn OFF the pool heat pump from the circuit breaker and the pool pump.
4. Open the bypass valve (refer to drawing on page 5).
5. Close the IN and OUT water valves on the unit.
6. Restart the pool pump. The pool heat pump MUST remain OFF.
7. When all of the water around the base of the pool heat pump has dried, open the water
IN and water OUT valves on the pool heat pump.
8. Close the bypass valve to allow full water flow through the pool heat pump.
If water is now seen running from the outside of the pool heat pump or inside the pool heat
pump after a short period of time, you should call for service. If no water is seen after a
short period of time, it would be assumed the water was condensation which is normal.
