Do not drop or lay on it's side during transportation.Lift the unit off the shipping pallet.Avoid damaging the fins on the evaporator coil. Unit Location Outdoor Installation Refer to diagram below.Allow 24"clearance between the heat collection surfaces and walls,fences and shrubs.The heat pump requires large volumes of air moving over the heat collector. Allow 5'of vertical clearance between the top of the heat pump and any roof overhang or other obstruction.This prevents cold discharge air from recirculating back into the evaporator coils, reducing the overall performance of the heat pump. Provide at least 24"of open area in front of the main access panel.The electrical panel will need to be accessed during installation so avoid any plumbing obstructions that will prevent easy access. 5 FT min 5 FT min Heat Pump Heat Pump Filter ! 24" Filter ` See Table A Pool Pump Wall foal Pux �,r Returat 444$1u • Drawing 1 -Typical Installation Front and Side Views MOdC � v r+ .. fl :r�Ulinlm m Dist nce 3 Heatwave,Suntech&Big Bopper, Seablue SHP-S60&EconoHeat 24" SunPower 3" TropiCal,Seablue SHP-S50, Suntech&Challenger 12" Table A NOTE:Dimensions refer to back of unit only.Maintain 24"clearance on all other sides.

Indoor Installations Every indoor installation is unique,therefore,there are no specific guidelines for this type of installation. For assistance, please contact our Engineering or Technical department and they will assist you with your specific needs. Plumbing All Aqua Cal Heat Pumps are equipped with either 2" MPT or FPT PVC fittings for the installer to connect to.No additional valving or bypass is necessary unless flow rates through the heat pump exceed 70 gallons per minute.Most residential pools and spas will not require a bypass unless a pump of 2 hp or larger is used. When threading fittings into the 2" FPT connections on the heat pump, be sure to use a thread sealing compound suitable for PVC.Be careful not to over tighten fittings.

T R POOL Multiple Heat Pump Installation When planning your pool piping,use these drawings as a guide to the proper sequence of equipment.valves,fittings and bypasses.Actual equipment used may vary.Actual pool equipment installation may not resemble these drawings. The plumbing configuration for typical installations is diagrammed on the previous two pages.If you are installing the heat pump in a location that gets hard winters and must winterize the heat pump as previously outlined,you will want to install unions on the influent and effluent lines of the heat pump.This will allow you to easily disconnect the heat pump when winterizing is performed. Review the diagrams on the previous pages for the typical plumbing diagram to suit your needs.Note that these are only a few of numerous ways to plumb your pool.The plumbing sequence always remains the same:pool pump-filter-heat pump-chlorinator(pressurized).

Page 11 14193_english_spanish guts 1/25/02 8:44 AM Page 12 START UP AND THERMOSTAT SETTINGS (Refer to control Panel Diagrams on pages 9 and 10) 1) ON/OFF Toggle Switch: In the OFF(O) position,the heater will be prevented from operating;however, there is power to the unit.With the switch in the ON (I ) position,the unit will run anytime the water temperature drops below the thermostat setting and the pool or spa pump is in operation. Note: If the thermostat is turned all the way down and the ON/OFF switch is in the ON position,the heater will run any time water temperatures fall below 60° F.For Tropical models,you must position the toggle switch in the middle (OFF) position to keep the unit from operating when water temperatures fall below 60° and heating is not desired.For Heatwave models, simply turn the ON/OFF toggle switch to the OFF position. 2) Power Light On: This indicates that there is power to the unit.The heat pump will turn on if the thermostat calls for heat and there is proper water flow to the heater. 3) Power Light Off: This indicates that power is not getting to the unit.Check any disconnect switches or circuit breakers. 4) Flow Light On: The green flow light indicates that there should be sufficient water pressure(water flow)to allow your heat pump to come on if the thermostat calls for heat. HEH BASIC HEAT PUMP OPERATION How To Operate Your Heat Pump Consult the diagrams on pages 9 and 10 for the control panel on your heat pump.The legend underneath the diagrams will explain what each control does and what each indicator light means. 1) Turn both thermostat knobs counterclockwise to their lowest settings.Using the thermostat selector switch, select either the pool or spa thermostat. 2) Next, position the ON/OFF switch to the ON position. 3) Make sure that your pool or spa pump is running for a few minutes to clear any air that might be in the lines.The heat pump will not start without water flowing through it.The power light and the flow light should be on. 4) Turn the selected pool or spa thermostat dial clockwise to it's highest setting.As soon as the thermostat setting is above the temperature of the water,the heat pump will begin to run. Note: If you do not have a spa,this switch gives you a backup thermostat.This secondary thermostat can be used as a fall back setting for short periods when you don't want to maintain full temperature. For example, if you like to swim at 82°on weekends,you may opt to keep the pool temperature at 78°during the week.This will significantly reduce your heating bills.On Friday, simply flip the switch to the higher setting and your pool should be ready for you on Saturday. (You may have to increase the filter run time on Friday.) If you turn the thermostat back and below the water temperature,the heat pump will shut off.It will not start for approximately five(5)minutes, no matter how far you turn the thermostat up. This time delay prevents damage to the compressor if the heat pump was to repeatedly cycle on and off. Page 12 I14193_english_spanish guts 1/25/02 8:44 AM Page 13 5) Allow your pool or spa filter pump to run continuously until the desired temperature is reached. (This may take several days.)This may require resetting (or removing completely)the trippers on the time clock to allow it to run continuously. 6111 6) To set the thermostat, allow the heat pump to heat the water until it reaches the temperature you desire.Then,turn the thermostat knob slowly counterclockwise until the unit shuts off.The heater will maintain your pool or spa at this temperature automatically. ;•:rim Maintenance T�T All Aqua Cal heat pumps are designed for outdoor use but some maintenance is required to maintain i. your warranty. In coastal areas where salt laden air or salt water spray can come in contact with the heat pump, or where blowing sand can accumulate inside a heat pump, regularly scheduled planned maintenance by an Aqua Cal technician or other certified representative is required. If your heat pump is situated where falling leaves can accumulate on the inside of the machine, annual maintenance is recommended to maintain your warranty.If you choose not to have the planned maintenance done, rinsing the coil down monthly and keeping the base of the unit clear of leaves and debris is a must. It is recommended that annual planned maintenance be performed on your heat pump by a licensed air conditioning or pool heating specialist.You can schedule this through Aqua Cal at 800-786-7751. CAUTION: IF YOU DECIDE TO WASH THE UNIT WITH A HOSE, DISCONNECT ALL POWER TO THE EQUIPMENT PAD, INCLUDING THE POOL OR SPA EQUIPMENT TO PREVENT POSSIBLE ELECTRIC SHOCK.DO NOT USE A PRESSURE CLEANER.IT MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE EVAPORATOR COILS. Condensate Drainage Condensation is a very normal function of your heat pump.When warm, moisture laden air passes over the cooler evaporator coil (finned air coil), the air temperature is lowered and moisture is condensed from the air.A typical heat pump can produce 6 to 8 gallons of condensate per hour. If you are not sure whether the water draining from your heat pump is condensation or a water leak,you can easily test for the presence of a sanitizer with your pool test kit.If you detect chlorine or bromine in the water draining from your heat pump, it is not condensation.In this case,call Aqua Cal for service.If no chlorine or bromine is detected,the water draining from your heat pump is condensate.If a water sample cannot be obtained from the heat pump, there is another quick test you can perform.Simply turn the heat pump off, still allowing the pool or spa pump to circulate water through the heater.With the heater off and the pump continuing to circulate, allow the heater to remain off for a few hours.If the water draining from the heater has slowed considerably,this would indicate that the water present was from normal condensation.If the water has not slowed,this would indicate a leak. It is important to keep the drain holes located around the bottom of the unit clean and free of debris that might accumulate.Keep plants from growing near or next to your heater.Shrubs, especially, block air from entering the machine and reduce the efficiency of the heater.Eventually, this can cause damage to the unit if left uncorrected.Keep all shrubs at least 2 feet away from the outer air coil of the heater. Surroundings Have your pool or landscape technician remove any sprinkler heads that spray water onto the heater. While heat pumps are made for an outdoor environment,they are not designed to have sprinkler water constantly spraying them.Water used to irrigate can contain iron and other minerals that can coat the heat collectors, causing poor heat transfer or eventually damaging the air coils and other internal components.Premature rusting of components is a frequent symptom of the sprinkler system striking the unit. Pool Blankets A pool blanket will significantly reduce your heating bills.You should check with the installing dealer to see if your heat pump was sized to be used in conjunction with a solar blanket or without one.Blanketed Page 13 14193_english_spanish guts 1/29/02 10:41 AM Page 14 pools will typically lose only 3-4°of heat per night versus 8- 10°overnight in an unblanketed pool. Reductions of 40-60%on heating bills can be achieved by using solar blankets. Seasonal Shut Downs During the swim season,even if the pool or spa is not in use, allow water to flow through the unit.This eliminates the possibility of chlorine gas from your chlorinator accumulating inside the heat exchanger. Freeze Protection / Extended Shut Downs In Florida or other areas where freezing conditions are a rare occurrence and winterizing of pools is not common, allow the filtration system to run continually through the freeze period.Water circulating through the heat pump will not freeze under typical conditions. In areas where freezing conditions are prevalent the heat pump should be disconnected from the pool plumbing.Electric power to the unit should also be shut off.The water contained in the heater should then be flushed with fresh water to remove all traces of sanitizers,then drained thoroughly. NOTE:FAILURE TO PROPERLY WINTERIZE THE UNIT MAY DAMAGE IT AND WILL VOID THE UNIT'S WARRANTY. For more detailed information on winterizing your unit or ordering a Winterizing Kit, please call AquaCal at 800-786-7751. See Page 17b for Winterizing Instructions Water Treatment All Aqua Cal heat pumps are equipped with an internal bypass that allows only the proper amount of water to flow through the heat exchanger.It is recommended that a non-corrosive check valve and a Hartford loop be installed between any chlorinator and the heat pump.(See drawing below) AquaCal Heatpump Hartford Loop . Filter JI I Chlorinator Chlorinators must be installed downstream of the heat pump.The proper sequence of installation is:pool pump-filter-heat pump-chlorinator(or other feeder device).Locating a chlorinator in any other manner may compromise the warranty of your heat pump.Adding chemicals such as sanitizers or pH controllers through the skimmer of your pool should be avoided.Not only can they damage the heat pump but other pool or spa equipment such as pumps and filters as well. Suction type sanitizers that utilize the vacuum created in the pool pump strainer to pull chemicals into the water are safe to use when installed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.The chemicals injected into the pool water before the pool pump are well dispersed by the time they go through the heat pump and will not cause harm when operated as per the manufacturer's instructions. Skimmer feeding of sanitizers and pH adjusting chemicals should always be avoided. The acceptable water chemistry levels are outlined below. If you have any questions concerning how to check for these levels consult your installer for instructions.Pool and spa water should be checked at least once a week and meet N.S.P.I./ANSI Standard 5 Appendix A specifications.A few key levels are outlined below.For additional information, contact the National Spa and Pool Institute(N.S.P.I.) at 2111 Eisenhower Ave.,Alexandria,VA.22314.Telephone (703) 838-0083 Fax (703)549-0493.

V/ Failure to maintain your pool or spa water chemistry within the above specifications will shorten the life of your heat pump and may void the warranty.Chemical damage to the heat exchanger is detectable and preventable.The heat exchanger has been designed for many years of continual use providing it's integrity has not been compromised by improper water chemistry. Maintenance of Area It is important to keep the surrounding area adjacent to your heat pump clear of items such as shrubs and bushes, lawn furniture, chemicals, etc.These items can prevent air from circulating properly and result in inefficient operation or damage to components inside the heat pump.Do not place objects on top of the heat pump that will block the air from exiting the heater. Damage to the compressor and fan motor may occur. Backwashing of Filter It is important to keep your filter within the manufacturer's operating specifications.As a filter gets dirty, the flow to the heat pump is reduced.The higher the pressure on the filter gauge,the lower the flow rate. If left long enough,the flow can be reduced to such an extent that the heat pump will cycle on and off every 5 minutes.If your heat pump is equipped with a high pressure indicator light on the control panel, it will illuminate momentarily between cycles.Before calling your dealer or Aqua Cal for service, backwash or clean the filter.Finally,check for improper valve settings.A partially closed valve after the filter will cause the same conditions to occur.If the problem persists,call for service. NOTE: During pool refinishing or acid washing the pool heater must be bypassed until the process is completed and the pool chemistry is balanced once again. Operation of ATV and DX Models If you have an ATV or DX heat pump your control panel will not have a switch to select pool or spa heating.This is done automatically by the control panel.On ATV models,whenever the flow sensors inside the heater detect that the spa is in operation,the spa thermostat is automatically selected.If you have this thermostat set for 100°,the heater will then heat and maintain your spa to that temperature. When your spa is turned off, the pool thermostat is automatically selected and the pool temperature is maintained at the pool thermostat setting, providing the filter pump is running. If both the pool and spa systems are on,the DX model will heat the pool and spa continuously, switching back and forth between the two depending upon thermostat demand.The spa thermostat has priority. If the heater is in the pool heating mode and the spa temperature falls below it's thermostat set point,the heater automatically switches to heating the spa.When the thermostat setting is met,the heater automatically falls back to maintaining the temperature in the pool.This process goes on back and forth as long as both the pool and spa pumps are on.In the event that the pool pump is turned off,the heater will continue to heat the spa only.If the spa pump is turned off, only the pool will be heated. Operation of Icebreaker Models If you have an Icebreaker heat pump,you have the ability to maintain the temperature of your pool at a comfortable level throughout the swimming season. Using the heat/cool toggle switch on the control panel,select either the heating or cooling mode.When pool temperatures fall below a comfortable level (in cooler weather), select the heating mode.In mid summer,when pool temperatures can become uncomfortably warm,simply select the cooling mode. Page 15 14193_english_spanish guts 1/30/02 2:16 PM Page 16 O All Icebreaker models have the ability to continue to operate even in below freezing temperatures by utilizing a time/temperature activated defrost cycle.With this type of system it would be normal to have visible ice on the air coil between defrost cycles during cooler weather.If you happen to see the unit in a defrost cycle, it would be normal for the unit to be"steaming."This is simply the vaporization of moisture that has been melted from the air coil during the defrost cycle. IS MY HEAT PUMP HEATING? After the heater has been running for a few minutes,you can do a simple test to see if it is heating. Simply: a. Feel the air exiting the top of the cabinet.It should be 8- 12°cooler than the surrounding air. b. Place your hand,or better yet, a thermometer in the pool water away from the pool returns.Leave your hand or thermometer there for at least one minute,then move your hand slowly towards one of the returns.You should be able to detect a slight rise in temperature, or see a 2°-4°rise on your thermometer. c. When the heat pump has been running for approximately 15 minutes,you should be able to see water starting to drain around the base of the unit.This is not water from your pool or spa.This is condensation,which is produced naturally by removing heat from the air.The cool air cannot hold as much moisture as warm air and condensate is produced.A heat pump can produce 6-8 gallons of water per hour depending on the outside humidity.The higher the humidity,the greater the amount of condensate produced.Running the heat pump during periods of low humidity may produce little or no condensate. Initial Heating Time The initial time it takes to get your pool warm depends on several factors.First you will need to determine how many gallons of water are in your pool.If you know this,you can compute the pounds of water in the pool and the BTU's necessary to heat the pool to the desired temperature.Secondly, you need to know the approximate BTU output of your heat pump at the ambient air temperature. Finally,we need to know the temperature that you plan on heating the pool or spa to. Sounds complicated, but it's not!You can use the worksheet below to calculate approximately how long it will take your heater to bring your pool up to temperature.Keep in mind that the time will vary somewhat due to weather conditions during the period that the heater is in use. Surface Area of Pool (Length X Width X Average Depth) = Pool Cubic Feet X Gallons per cubic ft. 7.5 = Pool Gallonage X Pounds per Gallon 8.3 = Pounds of Water (BTU's Required to raise your pool 1°f) (How many degrees do you want to raise the X #of Degrees temperature of the pool?) = BTU's to heat pool / BTU Output of Heater = Hours of operation (Time it takes at 80°water, 80°air, 80% Relative hum.) X 60°Temperature factor 1.25 = 60°Air running time (Running time adjusted for cooler weather) Page 16 I14193_englisr_spanish guts 1/30/02 2:16 PM Page 17 • I When you start up your new Aqua Cal Heat Pump for the first time to heat your pool, you must allow the unit to run continuously until the desired temperature is reached.This may take from several hours to several days depending upon the time of the year and the outside conditions.If you utilize a time clock f, or similar device to control the operating time of your pool system. you should temporarily override the device and allow it to run the pool or spa pump until the water reaches the desired temperature. Your heat pump is a maintainer of heat and is sized to overcome the heat loss during the coldest period in which you are trying to heat.Once your pool is up to temperature. the time clock can be reset.The time your system has to run may need to be extended during the colder months when heat loss is at its greatest. V/` Since air is generally at its warmest during the day time, it is best to operate your heat pump during the day time when there is more heat to transfer.So keep this in mind when you are trying to heat your pool. NOTE:A Call Flex time clock manager can free you from having to change the settings on your time clock as the heat loss increases or decreases.Contact your installing dealer for details. Pool and Spa Combination Heating Everything stated for heating a pool applies for heating a spa;only the volume of water being heated is different.All Aqua Cal heat pumps come equipped with two thermostats.One thermostat is for the pool and the other is for the spa.Unless you purchased an ATV or DX model,you must reposition the pool and spa isolation valves as directed by your installer.Select the appropriate thermostat(pool or spa), whichever you are heating, using the Pool/Spa selector switch on your heater control panel. Your system can be automated with the addition of an Automatic Thermostat Module.This will save you from having to change the thermostat switch each time you change from pool to spa and back again.You can also automate your pool and spa isolation valves with a Motorized Valve Module.For details, contact your installing dealer. Spa Heating Tips When heating a spa, be sure to turn off the air blower.Air induced through the spa jets should also be eliminated, if possible.Air blowing into your spa while it is being heated will very often neutralize or reduce the heat being put into the spa by the heater, which means increased running time to heat your spa. Defrost Cycle When air temperatures are below 50° F your heat pump may go into a defrost cycle.The defrost cycle is initiated by a sensor on the evaporator(air coil).When the evaporator temperatures fall to a point where they start to form ice on the fins,the heat pump will shut down.The heat pump will remain in the defrost mode until the evaporator coil temperature rises above 40° F.In the event the air temperatures are below 40° F the heat pump will remain in the defrost mode until temperatures rise above the 40°mark. The length of time the heat pump is in the defrost mode is dependent upon the air temperature.The warmer the air temperature,the shorter the defrost cycle;the colder the air,the longer the defrost cycle. This is another reason why you should operate your heat pump only during the warmest part of the day. Late night and early morning is usually the coolest time of the day and least efficient for heat pumps.

Failure to properly winterize heat pump may result in serious equipment damage. Freeze damage is not covered under the heat pump warranty. CAUTION ! Failure to heed the following can result in damage to equipment and/or property. While the plumbing connections are in the winterized condition (not fully tightened), it is imperative pool/spa water not be circulated through the heat pump. Loss of water through loose plumbing connections may result in damage to circulating pump, pool/spa structure, and/or other equipment. LIGHT-FREEZE CONDITIONS (Air temperature does not remain below 32°F for more than 4-hours) In the event your heater will not be used for an extended period, it is recommended pool water be allowed to circulate through the heater during normally scheduled filtration cycles. If light freeze conditions are expected, adjust water pump controls for continuous operation throughout the light freeze episode. Moving water will not freeze under light-freeze conditions. Remain aware of abnormal climatic conditions; use "Hard-Freeze" instructions (below) if freezing conditions will exceed 4-hours. Hard-Freeze Conditions...

The panel ends provide minimal vertical stiffener reinforcement for the galvanized - steel pool panels. Therefore, the critical case for calculating vertical stiffener strength occurs when a 3 foot panel is sandwiched between two 7 foot panels. b.) The concrete pour at the base of the wall (i.e., bond beam) provides 10 inches of vertical support to the panels, stiffeners and braces. c.)

'on As•ress 0 y: ' e`a-` olyn Tibbais, 16405 E.20th Ct.,Veradale,WA 99037 TECHNICAN PACIFIC POOLS, INC Classic Wall Panel Material/Installation Assumptions 1. Wall panel, brace and panel/brace fastener sizes, thickness, dimensional characteristics, material properties and strengths used in these calculations were provided by Technican Pacific Pools, Inc. These calculations assume that these elements have uniform thicknesses, sizes, and material properties/strengths and that they are free of ' defects. These calculations cover only those elements identified herein and do not cover liners, ladders, steps, slides, decks, railings, etc. This pool system is intended to be installed only by factory trained and approved distributors/contractors. 2. Soil pressures used in these calculations constitute those soils which are in their active state and have a maximum equivalent fluid pressure equal to 35 #/ft3 under non-saturated conditions and 45 #/ft3 under saturated conditions. See definition of parameters section for more soil type assumptions used in these calculations. These calculations do not consider the existence of expansive or adobe-type soils, high groundwater table conditions, or adjacent uncompacted soil fill conditions. If existing site soil conditions dictate a different or potentially higher equivalent fluid pressure than those used herein, the pool Purchaser/Installer shall contact a local Geotechnical (Soils) Engineer for additional guidance and direction prior to pool installation. 3. Wall panel backfill materials shall consist of clean porous soils, free of roots and debris, installed and carefully tamped to eliminate voids, in layers not exceeding 12"thick. In addition, backfill materials shall not exceedthe same equivalent fluid pressure characteristics identified in Item 2 above. Lastly, backfilling operations behind the pool panels must be performed in conjunction with the pool filling operations. Although these calculations show that backfill material can be placed behind the pool panels when the pool is empty, these pool panels should not be considered capable of independently withstanding either the pool water's lateral forces or the lateral soil forces (from behind the pool panels). 4. The pool is designed to remain full of water at all times. The pool may be damaged if the water level is allowed to drop below the pool inlet. When appreciable drawdown is noticed or if it becomes necessary to drain the pool, contact Technican Pacific Pools, Inc. or its agent immediately for instructions. Temporary shoring of the pool panels is highly recommended. 5. These structural calculations shall be considered void if not complete (pages 1 - 13) and do not contain a raised P.E. review seal, signature, and color watermark on each page. 6. Pool system is not designed for earthquake or surcharge loading (i.e., neighboring structures, vehicles, trees, equipment, etc.). 7. Finished decks and/or grades shall be constructed in accordance with the pool manufacturer's guidelines and be sloped away from the pool copings at a rate of not less than 1/4" per foot. 8. Concrete bond beam dimensions shall be 10"x 2'-0" minimum. 9. These calculations are in compliance with the following state and national codes: 1. 2003 Nationally accepted International Building Code (IBC) 2. 1999 Building Officials&Code Administrators(BOCA) 3. 1999 Standard Building Code (SBCCI) 4. 1997 Uniform Building Code(UBC) 10.
