Operating The Heat Pump; Heat Pump Control Panel Overview - Pentair UltraTemp-E Serie Guide De L'installateur

Operating the Heat Pump

Do not use this heat pump if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect
the heater and replace any part of the control system which has been under water. Keep all objects off the top of the
heat pump. Blocking air flow could damage the unit and may void the warranty.
After the water pressure switch is activated there is a one minute temperature sensing delay then if there is a call for
heat or cool the fan will turn on and there will be an additional 5 minute delay for the compressor to start. Be sure
that there is water in the pool and that the surface level is above the skimmer or other inlets of the pool's filter
system.
The pool pump must be on and water flowing through the heat pump for it to operate.
With any new pool or spa installation, operate the filter pump with the heat pump off long enough to completely
clean the water. This will remove any installation residue from the water. Clean the filter at the end of this
operation before starting the heat pump. When raising the temperature of a cold pool, program the time clock to
run the pump continuously. This lets the filter system and heat pump operate continuously until the water reaches
the temperature setting on the temperature control. When that happens, the heat pump will automatically shut
off, but the filter pump will keep running.
Swimming Pool Energy Saving Tips
It is important to note that a heat pump will not heat a pool as fast as a large gas or electric pool heater. If the pool
water is allowed to cool significantly, it may take several days to return to the desired swimming temperature.
For weekend use, it is more economical to maintain the water temperature at or near the desired temperature. For
extended non-use, turn the heat pump completely off or decrease the temperature setting of the control several
degrees to minimize energy consumption.
Pentair offers the following recommendations to help conserve energy and minimize the cost of operating your heat
pump without sacrificing comfort.
1 Pentair strongly recommends the use of a pool cover. Besides providing a valuable safety feature, a pool cover will
reduce heat loss, conserve chemicals, and reduce the load on filter systems
2 Use an accurate pool thermometer. A difference of 2° C (4°F) , between 26° C. and 28° C. [78° F. and 82° F ], will
significantly increase energy consumption.
3 Carefully monitor the water temperature of your pool in the summertime.You can reduce heat pump usage due to
warmer air temperatures.
4 During the winter or when on vacation for longer than a week, turn off the heat pump.
5 Find the proper setting on the heat pump temperature control and use the Keypad Lock function to discourage
further adjustments.

Where possible, shelter the pool from prevailing winds with well-trimmed hedges or other landscaping, or
fencing..
