ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
1) Locate the equipment power disconnect within 6-feet'of the heater's electrical enclosure.
2) Never mount power disconnects directly to heat pump.
3) Only use copper conductors.
4) Use sequencing controllers when multiple heaters are installed on site.
5) Local codes and regulations may require the use of a ground fault interruption device (GFI Circuit Breaker).
Nuisance tripping of these devices is common and nof,covered under the terms of the Manufacturer's warranty.
6) Review online product manual when connecting external controller devices to heat pump.

WINTERIZING
In areas where freezing conditions are a rare occurrence, allow the filtration system to run continuously throughout
the freeze period. Typically, during light freeze conditions, circulating (moving) water will not freeze. In areas where
freezing conditions are prevalent and sustained, the heat pump must be winterized as follows:
1) Disconnect all electrical power to the heater; turn offbirculating pump.
2) At the two (2) connection unions, disconnect the plumbing to the heater (removal is counter -clockwise).
3) If your unit has an external drain plug, remove plug. This plug would be located at lower, front corner of
heater (position may vary between models). Allow water to drain out of the condenser. Replace the
winterizing plug by threading the plug in clockwise until just snug, then apply an additional 1/8 turn.
4) If no drain plug is found, unit is self draining from unions. Check online manuals for appropriate winterizing
procedures on heat pumps older than 2005.
5) To prevent insects and vermin from entering the plumbing during the winterized period, partially reconnect
the two (2) plumbing connection unions: couple each union one or: two threads;.this will permit condensation
to drain, but will prevent most insects and animals from entering the plumbing circuit.
START UP
To ready a winterized heat pump for use, simply retighten plumbing connection unions. Hand -tight is generally
sufficient.
