When the batteries are loaded, a red LED light on the
front of the unit will flash once and a single beep will
sound. This indicates the unit is set up and ready to work.
ENTRY DELAY. After the unit is set up, there will be an 8-12
second alarm delay with the red LED light flashing. After this,
the alarm is ready.
The Safe Pool is designed to sound a loud alert when
children enter through a Safe Pool protected door / gate.
When properly installed, the Safe Pool will allow adults to
pass through the protected door / gate and immediately shut
off the sounding alarm.
When powered, the Safe Pool is always in protected mode.
The alarm will activate the instant when the door / gate opens
by more than 1 inch (when the magnetic sensors are apart
by more than 1 inch). Once the alarm activates, it will sound
continuously until the BYPASS button is pressed.
When passing through the door/gate from the opposite side,
where the additional BYPASS option is included (S1 89A does
not include the additional BYPASS button) and mounted,
press that outside mounted BYPASS button to temporarily
disarm, open door, enter and close the door quickly. The unit
will re -arm itself within 8-12 seconds.
When the alarm volume becomes low, or the unit does not
produce normal alarm sound, the red light will illuminate.
Replace with (3) 1.5V AAA batteries.
The Safe Pool's plastic resists ultraviolet rays from direct
sunlight exposure. However, slight discoloration over time
is normal.
WARNING!
THE SAFE POOL ALARM IS EXTREMELY LOUD WHEN
ACTIVATED. FOR YOUR SAFETY, NEVER PLACE THE
UNIT CLOSE TO YOUR EARS. TO TEST THE ALARM,
ALWAYS USE EAR PROTECTION AND DIRECT THE UNIT
AWAY BEFORE TESTING / ACTIVATING THE ALARM.
IT IS PROHIBITED BY LAW TO REMOVE THE INSTALLED
ALARM AFTER IT HAS PASSED INSPECTION i

Congratulations on your purchase of the TECHKO Safe
Pool model S189A/ S189D safety alarm. The Safe Pool
can be used to provide a high volume alarm alert when
children have entered a pool or spa area. The S189A/
S189D can be used outdoors on wood doors / windows /
gates.
* Easy installation for gate or door protection
" Weather / Water resistant
• (3) 1.5V AAA batteries (included)
" High output 100-110 dB 8 -tone alarm siren
* One button BYPASS operation
• Low battery LED display
" Optional additional BYPASS button for delayed entry
from either side of door or fence (SI 89A not included)
" Optional additional magnetic sensor for screen door
exit / entry (S189A not included)
* Alarm siren is VERY loud; NEVER place the unit close to
ears.
. Install the unit high enough to be out of reach of children
. S189D - additional delay button may be mounted on the
other side of the entrance. When pressed, it will delay
the alarm 8 -12 seconds before alarm is triggered, allowing
time to secure the door / gate.
" S189D - additional magnetic sensor allows the unit to be
used on sliding door with screens. Alarm will sound only
when both magnetic sensors are apart.
" Keep this manual for future reference.
The Safe Pool can provide valuable protection when
used correctly. However, it cannot guarantee complete
protection against accidents or injuries. Therefore,
TECHKO cannot be held responsible for any loss,
damage, or injury that may occur.
WARNING: Read all installation and operation
Instructions thoroughly before proceeding with
installation. Before installing the battery, use a rubber
band to temporarily secure the two magnetic sensors
together with the arrows pointing toward each other to
avoid setting off the alarm unintentionally during the
installation of the alarm.
INSTALLING THE BATTERY.•
1. Remove the battery cover of the unit and install the
new (3) 1.5V AAA batteries (included) (See Fig. 1)
_. w ye.. o e .—M.— ..a iv �-.... , Ntva0o rrcar aar
protection against the loud alarm siren before testing
the alarm.
3. Once the battery is connected the unit is now ON and
working. To test the alarm siren,
make sure you have ear protection
before testing. After ear protection
is in place, separate the magnetic
sensors apart by more than 1 inch.
The alarm should sound immediately
after the sensors are separated. Fig.
Press the BYPASS button and immediately secure the
two magnet sensors together again to avoid the alarm
sounding off unintentionally.
MOUNTING.
WARNING: The alarm should be positioned close to
the door high enough to be out of the reach of children.
As each mounting application varies, TECHKO suggests
testing the unit's installation location and effectiveness
before permanently mounting the S189A/ S189D.

, A heat pump uses nature's'free heat'from the air to heat your pool water.
- Electricity is only needed to transfer the heat, not create it.
It is significantly less expensive than gas or electric heating.
This makes a heat pump the most economical, safe and trouble-free way to heat your pool.

conditions relative to the proposed structure(s) foundation preparation and design. Our
recommendations are based on the assumption that the proposed structure(s) are as follows: a standard
size gunite swimming pool.
One (1) SPT boring was performed according to ASTM D-1586 down to a depth of twenty-five feet
(25') below existing ground level (BEGL) (see attached field sketch for locations). The following is a
general condition for the subject site:
Depth
From To Soil Descriptions
01011- 210" Grayish Brown Silty Sands
21011- 101011 Dark Brown Silty Sand with Traces of Organics and Roots
(7.2% Organic Content)
10'0" -13'0" Light Gray Limestone and Sand
13'0" - 25'0" Tan Limestone
Groundwater table elevation was measured immediately at the completion of the boring and was found
at at a depth of four feet three inches (4'3") BEGL. Fluctuation in water levels should be anticipated
due to surface runoff, tidal influences, seasonal variations, varying ground elevation, construction
dewatering and pumping activities in the area. Site contractor must familiarize themselves with site
conditions in the event groundwater controls and dewatering is needed. The contractor shall make sure
that groundwater levels on adjacent properties are not affected by the contractors dewatering activities.
Specialty groundwater contractors shall be consulted for all work below the groundwater level

The boring log(s) attached present(s) a detailed description of the soils encountered at the test
location(s). The soil stratification shown on the boring log(s) is based on the examination of the
recovered soil samples and interpretation of the driller's field log(s). It indicates only the approximate
boundaries between soil types. The actual transitions between adjacent soil types maybe gradual.
Unsuitable silty material was encountered at approximately two feet (2') down to ten feet (10')
BEGL. All unsuitable silty organic material encountered must be removed prior to construction of the
proposed pool on a shallow foundation system. This information is intended for foundation analysis
only; it is not to be used for excavating, backfilling or pricing estimates. Florida Engineering &
Testing, Inc., shall be on-site to monitor the excavation of the organic material to ensure
complete removal.
Based on our understanding of the proposed structure and the information obtained from our field
boring logs; we recommend the following procedures for shallow foundation preparation:
Alternative I: Shallow Foundation System (After Excavation of Unsuitable Materials)
1) Locate the pool/spa and deck area, excavate and remove the layer of unsuitable silty material
down to limestone formation located at approximately ten feet (10') BEGL under all
construction areas plus two feet (2') past the outer perimeter of the structure. To ensure proper
removal of organic material dewatering the area is recommended.
2) All excavations shall maintain a minimum of 2 horizontal to 1 vertical (2:1) next to all
foundations to prevent undermining of existing foundations. If the required slope
recommendations cannot be maintained, then shoring of the existing foundations may be
required to prevent undermining.
3) De -water the bottom of the excavation and compact with a vibratory roller to a minimum of
95% of the A.S.T.M. D-1557 modified proctor method.
4) Backfill to proper pool bottom elevation if needed using a clean granular material placed in lifts
not to exceed twelve inches (12") in thickness and compacted as per item 3.
5) Care should be taken when using vibration in case of existing structures in the vicinity of the
construction area. If vibration cannot be used for compaction, static compaction may be applied.
However, in this case, the compacted layers should not exceed six inches (6") in thickness.
6) All construction fill material shall be clean granular soil, free of organics or other deleterious
material, and shall contain no more than ten (10) percent fines passing a U.S. Standard No. 200
sieve (0.075mm). In order to ensure that the soils at the bottom of the pool are stabilized we
recommend that a six (6) inch layer of D.O.T. number 57 stone be placed at the bottom of the
pool foundation.
7) Representative samples of the on-site and proposed fill material should be collected and tested to
determine the classification and compaction characteristics.

8) Verify all densification procedures by taking an adequate number of field density tests in each
layer of compacted material.
9) All Geotechnical work shall be performed under the supervision of a Geotechnical Engineer or
his authorized representative.
Provided the above foundation recommendations are achieved and verified; it is our opinion that
the proposed structure can be designed for a shallow foundation system with a permissible soil
bearing pressure not to exceed 2,000 P.S.F. Bearing capacity certification requires satisfactory
completion and verification of all the above foundation recommendations.
If applicable, provisions shall be made by the architect, engineer of record and contractor to address
differential settlements when tying in new to existing structures. If applicable, the seawall structure
should be inspected to verify the structural integrity and prevent undermining due to the piling
installation or excavation operations. Care should be taken to avoid damaging seawall tiebacks.
Alternative II: Deep Foundation System
Deep foundation systems shall consist of one of the followiniz alternatives:
BGL - Below Ground Length
Estimated Lateral Load for a Pile Top Deflection of of less than one (1) inch. The proposed pile length
is based on the existing ground elevation at the time of drilling. Pile length may vary depending on
proposed grade beam elevation and soil profile. The minimum center to center of piles or adjacent
foundations shall be not less than twice the average diameter for round piles or 1 3/4 times the diagonal
dimensions of rectangular piles, but in no case less than thirty (30) inches.
In the case of the pin, helical piles, or auger cast piles, a minimum of two (2) piles shall be driven to
determine production pile length. Helical piles shall consist of Atlas, Chance, Ingal, or equivalent
manufacturer. Helical pile final bearing capacity is determined in the field based on final achieved
torque as per proprietary manufacturer specifications and shall be placed under the supervision of our
geotechnical engineer to verify achieved bearing capacities.
All piles shall be designed by a professional engineer and shall be placed under supervision of our
Geotechnical Engineer to verify compliance with our recommendations. A licensed pile contractor
shall be consulted to determine actual pile depth and capacity. All work shall be in accordance with
local building code and (if required) coastal zone construction requirements. All work shall be
conducted by an experienced Florida Licensed Specialty Piling Contractor. The grout used in the pile
installation shall develop a minimum compressive strength of 4,000 PSI at 28 days.

LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY
WARRANTY
We warrant that the services performed by Florida
Engineering and Testing, Inc., are conducted in a manner
consistent with the level of skill and care ordinarily
exercised by members of the profession currently practicing
under similar conditions. No other warranties; expressed or
implied, are made. While the services of Florida
Engineering & Testing, Inc., are an integral and valuable
part of the design and construction process, we do not
warrant, guarantee, or insure the quality or completeness of
services or satisfactory performance provided by other
members of the construction process and/or the construction
plans and specifications which we have not prepared, nor the
ultimate performance of building site materials.
As mutual protection to clients, the public and ourselves, all
reports are submitted as the confidential property of clients,
and authorization for publication of statements, conclusions
or extracts from or regarding our reports is reserved pending
our written approval.
SUBSURFACE EXPLORATION
Subsurface exploration is normally accomplished by test
borings. The soil boring log includes sampling information,
description of the materials recovered, approximate depths
of boundaries between soil and rock strata and groundwater
data. The log represents conditions specifically at the
location and time the boring was made. The boundaries
between different soil strata are indicated at specific depths;
however, these depths are in fact approximate and dependent
upon the frequency of sampling. The transitions between
soil stratum are often gradual. Water level readings are
made at the time the boring was performed and can change
with time, precipitation, canal levels, local well drawdown,
and other factors.
Regardless of the thoroughness of a Geotechnical
exploration there is always a possibility that conditions may
be different from those of the test locations; therefore
Florida Engineering & Testing, Inc., does not guarantee any
subsoil condition surrounding the bore test holes. For a
more accurate portrayal of subsurface conditions, the site
contractor should perform tests pits. If different conditions
are encountered, Florida Engineering & Testing, Inc., shall
be notified to review the findings and make any
recommendations as needed.
LABORATORY AND FIELD TESTS
Tests are performed in accordance with specific ASTM
Standards unless otherwise indicated. All criteria included
in a given ASTM Standard are not always required and
performed. Each test report indicates the measurements and
determinations actually made.

FLO I A
ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The Geotechnical report is prepared primarily to aid in the
design of site work and structural foundations. Although the
information in the report is expected to be sufficient for
these purposes, it is not intended to determine the cost of
construction or to stand alone as construction specifications.
In accepting this report the client understands that all data
from the soil boring is intended for foundation analysis only
and is not to be used for excavating, backfilling or pricing
estimates. The site contractor must familiarize themselves
with the job site conditions.
Report recommendations are based primarily on data from
test borings made at the locations shown on the test boring
reports. Soil variations may exist between borings and may
not become evident until construction. If variations are then
noted, Florida Engineering & Testing, Inc., should be
contacted so that field conditions can be examined and
recommendations revised if necessary.
The Geotechnical report states our understanding as to the
location, dimensions, and structural features proposed of the
site. Any significant changes in the nature, design, or
location of the site improvements must be communicated to
Florida Engineering & Testing, Inc„ so that the Geotechnical
analysis, conclusions, and recommendations can be
appropriately adjusted.
CONSTRUCTION OBSERVATIONS
Construction observation and testing is an important element
of Geotechnical services. The Geotechnical Engineer's Field
Representative (Field Rep.) is the "owner's representative"
observing the work of the contractor, performing tests, and
reporting data from such tests and observations. The
Geotechnical Engineer's Field Representative does not direct
the contractor's construction means, methods, operations, or
personnel. The Field Rep. does not interfere with the
relationship between the owner and the contractor, and
except as an observer, does not become a substitute owner
on site. The Field Rep. is only collecting data for our
Engineer to review.
The Field Rep. is responsible for his/her safety only, but has
no responsibility for the safety of other personnel and/or the
general public at the site. If the Field Rep. does not feel that
the site is offering a safe environment for him/her, the Field
Rep. will stop his/her observation/ testing until he/she deems
the site is safe. The Field Rep. is an important member of a
team whose responsibility is to observe the test and work
being done and report to the owner whether that work is
being carried out in general conformance with the plans and
specifications.

Heat Pump Options
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
7hermoLinka heat exchanger tube is made from titanium, and is virtually impervious to
water chemistry damage.
Microprocessor Controller
Digitaily-based microprocessor controls water temperature to within 10 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. The micro-
prosser controller also provides superior defrost control, and self diagnostics.
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 SuperQuietT"' model, it's very
likely your heat pump will be.quieter than any other item on the pool equipment pad.
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.
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. * These features available in SuperQuieem Models Only.
** These features available in Icebreaker® Models Only.
PLEASE READ FURTHER TO BECOME FAMILIAR WITH ALL THE FEATURES, THE SAFE
OPERATION, AND THE CARE OF YOUR NEW HEAT PUMP.
1.1
HOW A HEAT 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 -4590
Fahrenheit, it becomes evident outside air, even at the relative cool temperature of 550
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.

SAFETY INFORMATION
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: (727) 823-5642. 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 Signals
Throughout this manual the following two safety signals are placed where particular care
is required. Please note "WARNING" relates to personal safety, while "CAUTION" signals
promote avoiding damage to equipment.
Failure to heed the following may result in perma-
nent injury or death.
"Warning" signal appears in this manual where special attention is required for personal
safety. (Speck instructions will appear in this box.)

Notice: Heater NOT Repairable by Owner
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 orAquaCal Customer Support at (727) 823-5642.
Refrigerant. Circuit Service Only by
Qualified, EPA Certified Technician
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.
Water Temperature Safety
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.
Water Chemistry Safety
Failure to heed the following may result in permanent
injury or death.
Improperwater 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 can result in damage to
equipment~
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.

Getting Started
HEATING -QUICK START &STOP
This brief information is provided as an aid 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, may want to also refer to: Owner Level Programming,
beginning on page -14 of this manual.
1. Verify Electrical Power is Present at Heater:
A Ensure that the unit has.electdcal 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.
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.
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.
(Quick -Start & Stop Continued Next Page)

HEATING -QUICK START & STOP (continued):
3. To Begin Heating:
A Verify MODE is set to: HEAT (HEA); then, depending on which body of water is to be heated,
use the POOL / SPA selector key to select POOL or SPA.
B. Position water valves to flow water from the pool or spa, through the heater, and back to the
pool or spa.
C. Start the water pump; the fan will start, and after 4 -minute time delay the unit will begin
heating. The selected body of water will be brought to temperature and maintained per the
setting determined previously in: "Set the Heater Controls."
D. In operation, whenever the actual (displayed) water temperature falls below the desired set
point, after an initial time delay of 4 -minutes, the unit will begin heating.
NOTE: THE HEATER CONTROLLER INCORPORATES AN ANTI -SHORT CYCLE TIME DELAY. SHOULD OPERATION BE
INTERRUPTED, COMPRESSOR RESTART WILL BE DELAYED BY APPROXIMATELY 4 -MINUTES.
4. Program Filter Pump Run Time:
Most pool/spa systems utilize a timer or multifunction controller to manage filter pump run times.
If your system incorporates such a device, follow the instructions below:
A It will be necessary to allow the filter pump to run continuously until the water has reached the
desired temperature. If a timer controls the pool filter pump, it will be necessary to override
the timer to allow 24 -hr. operation.
B. Once the desired temperature has been obtained (1-4 days), reset the pump control
device. Colder months require longer running times - generally eight to twelve hours/day.
C. A heat pump can only operate when the filter pump is running. Therefore, it may be
necessary—during cooler weather to extend the water pump's hours of daily operation.
The increased run time is necessary in order to keep up with increased, weather-related
heat losses.
5. Continuous Usage and Water Around Heater:
Condensation... After the heat pump has been operating for some time, water may be observed
surrounding the heater. The moisture seen is condensation produced as a normal by-product of
transferring heatfrom the air into the pool or spa water. Quantities of 6-8 gallons of water produced
per hour are common if the air humidity is high. Conversely, a low humidity condition may result in
Do condensation being produced. (If water around unit seems excessive, to troubleshoot, see
page -26, "Water Coming from the Heat Pump.")
6. To Stop the Heat Pump:
A Select: OFF via the MODE selector. This method of shut down preserves the controller
settings;
B. An interruption of water flow—such as when a pump timer is in control—will also halt heat
pump operation.

Start Up & Setting Operating Controls
Owner -Level Programming Instructions
This section covers features and settings topically accessed first by the installer, and also accessible
to the owner/operator. These features reside at the Level -1 access point within the microprocessor.
Note: if preferred, all programming may be performed without water flow, waiting to start the water
pump as the last step in the set up and run process.
1. Applying Power to The Controller:
A. When power is first applied, the controller performs a lamp test and the display will read
[888]. Following [888] the software version will display briefly.
B. The control will then display the actual water temperature, provided the circulating pump is
operating, and adequate water is flowing through the heater.
C. if the pool -circulating pump is off, the control will display: [FLO]. This code message
indicates no (or insufficient) water is being circulated through the heat pump.
2. MODE Controls Explained, and Starting the Heat Pump
Once electrical power is supplied to the heat pump, sufficient water is circulating, and the heater
controller has successfully completed its self -test, the heater is ready to operate. The heat pump has
four controller operating "Modes"; OFF, HEAT, COOL*, and ACH* (Auto -Change Over).
OFF -The heat pump is shipped in the OFF mode. When the heat pump MODE is set to
OFF, the current water temperature will be displayed and no functions, values, or
programming will be available for adjustment. If there is insufficient water flow, the unit
will display FLO.
HEAT - To tum the unit on in heat only mode, press the mode button to HEAT. The display
Will show the actual water temperature. Press the UP ARROW key to set the desired
temperature. After the desired temperature is set, the unit will again display the actual
water temperature. If the set temperature is above the actual water temperature, the
heat pump will start and continue to heat until the desired temperature is reached. The
heat pump will periodically turn on, calling for heat as needed in order to maintain the set
temperature until the mode is changed back to OFF. PLEASE NOTE - both the
compressor and the fan mustbe operating before the "Heating" LED will illuminate.
COOL* - To tum the unit on in cooling mode, press the mode button to COOL. The display
will show the actual water temperature. Press the UP ARROW key to set the desired
temperature. After the desired temperature is set, the unit will again display the actual
water temperature. If the set temperature is below the actual water temperature, the heat
pump will start and continue to cool the water until the desired temperature is reached.
The heat pump will periodically tum on to cool the water as needed until the mode is
changed back to OFF.
ACH* - To have the heat pump maintain a particular temperature, regardless of the
temperature of the water, press the mode button to ACH. The heat pump will turn on in
either heat or cooling mode to maintain that temperature as needed until the heat pump
mode is changed to OFF.
3. Turning The Heat Pump Off:
A. Method 1: using the [MODE] key, press the key until the display reads "OFF" The
heater will shut off and remain off until the [MODE] key is used to select an operational
mode. This is the preferred method for shutting off the heat pump.

9. Selecting Call -Flex Pump Options [CFO]:
General Information:
The Call -Flex option automatically extends or overrides the run time of the water circulator pump,
and heater, based upon changing weather conditions. Without Call -Flex, as weather conditions
grow progressively cooler during winter months, or when unusually cold weather occurs, the run
duration of the circulator pump may require manual adjustments to permit the heater to maintain
or reattain desired water temperature (the water pump must be running in order for the heater to
operate). Likewise, without Call -Flex, one must remember to reset the pump run controls following
the cold weather event. The Call -Flex option greatly reduces the need for seasonal, manually
made, pump run time adjustments. Call -Flex is a dealer -installed option that does not come
with every heater, if unsure, check with the installing dealer to determine if a call flex kit was part
of the original installation. If Call -Flex was not part of the installation, and you would like to have
Call -Flex added, your dealer can do so ... contact the installing dealer.
If the installation is equipped with the Call -Flex option, the following steps are used to control the
Call -Flex features:
A. Simultaneously press and hold the [UP ARROW] and [DOWN ARROW] keys until the
display shows "C171". Press the [POOUSPA] key three times to scroll the display to [CFO].
B. With the [CFO] (Call -Flex Options) code displayed, use the Up or Down keys to select "0" to
disable the Call Flex Options, "1" to enable the Call Option, or "2" to enable the Flex Option.
Not pressing any buttons for 15 -seconds will allow the controller to save the selection and
return to the normal operating mode. Pressing the {POOUSPA] key will also save the
selection, and will step the controller to the next menu parameter: [LOC] (Service Lock
Code).
C. For further information, please refer to Call -Flex installation instructions, shipped with the
Call -Flex kit. For additional copies of these instructions, contact the AquaCal Customer
Support (727-823-5642).

MAINTENANCE
OPERATIONAL RECOMMENDATION
The information in this section is written primarily for the Home Owner, but may also apply to servicing
dealers or HVAC service centers. This section contains information concerning planned maintenance,
proper water flow, maintaining proper clearances, as well as other vital information. Please read this
section now, and before calling AquaCal Customer Support (727-823-5642).
General Maintenance
Heat pumps should be inspected and maintained on an annual basis by a qualified swimming pool
heat pump specialist. Additionally, if the heat pump is located near the beach or coastal area, where
salt spray and sand can become detrimental factors, more frequent service may be necessary. For
service plan information, please see: Planned Maintenance Program, later in this section, and then
contact AquaCal Customer Support at: 727-823-5642.
While annual maintenance is recommended to maintain your warranty, if you choose not to participate
in the Planned Maintenance Program, rinsing the air coil regularly, and keeping the base of the unit
clear of leaves and debris is a necessity.
Should you as the owner desire to perform the coil rinsing and other cosmetic care of the heat pump,
please contactAquaCal Customer Support: 1-727-823-5642; requestthe document titled: °Appearance
Care forAir-Source Heat Pumps: Approved Method for Home Owners."
Safety During Cleaning Operations
Failure to heed the following may result in permanent
injury or death.
POSSIBLE ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD ... Should you decide to wash the heat pump
via water hose, disconnect all power to the pool equipment pad- including, but not limited
to: The heat pump, water pump, and any and all other electrical equipment. Do NOT spray
water directly into electrical components. Do NOT restore electrical power until such time
as all water has dried completely.
Failure to heed the following may result in damage to
equipment.
Do not use a pressure cleaner to wash heat pump .... Damage to evaporator fins, as
well as other components, will result.
MAINTENANCE & OPERATION (continued)
Maintain Proper Water Flow
• It is important to operate and maintain the filter according to the manufacturer's specifications.
As a filter gets dirty, the water flow to the heat pump is reduced. The higher the pressure on the
filter gauge, the lower the flow rate.
• Similar to a dirty filter, large amounts of debris in the pump and skimmer baskets can reduce
water flow. Keep baskets free of debris.
• Check for improper valve settings. A partially closed valve after the filter, or a full -open bypass
around the heater, will cause insufficient water flow through heater.
• If the conditions listed above remain unresolved, the water flow through the heater may be
reduced to a point where internal safety devices (i.e.: "HP" or "HP5") shut the heater off.
• Before calling for service, always check the filter, the pump basket, and water valve positions. If
the problem persists, please call AquaCal Customer Support at: (727) 823-5642.
Control Water Chemistry
• IMPORTANT! Your heat pump is engineered for exceptional durability and reliability. And, this
unit's heat exchanger—being equipped with titanium tubing—will be nearly impervious to water
chemistry damage. However, other components of the heater, and the remainder of the pooVspa
equipment in general, may be susceptible to damage from prolonged exposure to unbalanced
water chemistry. Likewise, bathers may be exposed to health risks if water chemistry is not
properly maintained.
• For the longevity of the entire poollspa installation, and for the safety of bathers, it is strongly
recommended that the water chemistry be checked regularly and maintained within proper
norms. Please see the table, below, for a complete listing of recommended water chemistry
levels.

* STANDARDS FOR COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS MAY VARY LOCAL -TO -LOCAL...
ALWAYS MAINTAIN WITHIN LIMITS ESTABLISHED BY AUTHORITY HAVING JURISDICTION.
CAUTION- Pool/Spa Refinishing Operations
During pool refinishing or acid cleaning, the water flow through the heater must be shut off. Water flow
to the heater must remain off until water chemistry is once again in balance and the water is clear in
appearance. Failure to follow these instructions may void heater warranty.
19
MAINTENANCE & OPERATION (continued)
Control Irrigation and Storm Run Off
• Control Irrigation: Irrigation water spray can damage heater components. Regardless of water
quality, it is important that irrigation be directed away from the heat pump.
• Prevent rain water runoff from pouring directly into the heater. The heater is designed to
withstand normal rainfall, but solid streams of water from roof drip -lines may eventually damage
heat pump components.
® If the heat pump resides beneath a roof edge, to promote heat pump longevity, a rain leader
(gutter), or rain shield, will be necessary.
Maintain Proper Clearances Around Heater
• For maximum efficiency, proper air flow clearances around heater must be maintained.
• It is important to keep the area immediately adjacent to the heat pump clear of items such as
shrubs and bushes, lawn furniture, chemicals containers, etc. These items can prevent air from
circulating fully through the heater, and will result in inefficient operation or damage to the heat
pump.
• In addition, do not place objects on top of the heat pump; doing so will block the air from exiting
the heater, and will result in damage to the compressor and fan motor.
• Proper clearances are also necessary in order to access the working parts of your heater. A
heater that is easy to "get to," will be a heater that is easy to maintain; service and maintenance
personnel will thank you for keeping the area around your heater unobstructed.
•. Please see diagrams, below, for specific clearance requirements.

MAINTENANCE & OPERATION (continued)
Heating Tips
Heating in Cooler Weather...
Late night and early morning, generally being the coolest times of the day, are least efficient for heat-
ing. For most efficient heating operation, heat pumps should be timed to operate during the warmest,
daylight portions of the day. Conversely, if cooling a pool, it is best to run the equipment at night. Please
set water pump and heat pump controls accordingly.
Pool/Spa Blankets...
A "solar" blanket will significantly reduce your heating bills. Check with the installing dealer to see if
your heat pump was sized to be used in conjunction with a blanket. Blanketed pools will typically lose
only 3 - 4" of heat per night versus 8 -10° overnight with an un -blanketed pool. Reductions of 40-60%
on heating bills can be achieved by using blankets. (Idea... Contact AquaCai Customer Support
(727-823-5642) to learn about Liquid Blanket innovations.)
Failure to heed the following may result in permanent
injury or death.
Improperly used, Pool -Spa blankets can become a drowning risk to people and pets.
Blankets are not safety covers. They are not designed to support the weight of a person
or pet. Never enter a pool until the blanket is completely removed (under no circumstances
should anyone swim under the blanket). Follow all safety recommendations of the blanket
manufacturer.
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. Your heat pump comes equipped with two thermostats. One thermostat is for the pool and
the other is for the spa. Simply position the pool and spa isolation valves as directed by your installer;
select the appropriate thermostat (pool or spa), whichever you are heating, and with electrical power
and water flow supplied to the heater, the water will be maintained at set point.
Your system can be automated with the addition of an optional External Flow Switch Kit (P.N. 0040S).
Using this option will save you from having to change the thermostat selector switch each time you
change from pool -to -spa and back again. Or, add a Universal Heater Controller (P.N. 0097TS) and
gain not only automatic thermostat switching, but also automated spalpool water valve operation. For
details, contact the installer, the distributing dealer, or AquaCai Customer Support (727-823-5642).
Spa Heating & Spa Setback Option...
Air blowing into your spa, while it is being brought to temperature, will very often neutralize or partially
counteract the heat being put into the spa by the heater; this added heat loss equates to increased
time to bring your spa to desired temperature. When heating a spa, be sure to turn off the air blower.
Air induced through the spa jets should also be eliminated, during warm-up, whenever possible.
If your heater is being used to only heat a spa, the POOL thermostat can be used as a setback control:
simply set the pool control at a point 10-15° F below desired spa heat temperature and select the pool
thermostat. This method allows the spa–when not in use–to be held at a heated temperature, but
somewhat lower than normal spa -use temperature. One would want to blanket the spa if using this
setback method. Using spa setback will result in reduced warm up periods over full, cold starts.
21
MAINTENANCE & OPERATION (continued)
Calculating Initial Heating Time
The time it takes to initially warm your pool or spa depends on several factors.
First, determine how many gallons of water are to be heated. Knowing this, you can then compute the
equivalent pounds of water involved, and the BTU's necessary to heat the volume of water to the
desired temperature.
Next, find the approximate BTU output of your heat pump at the current ambient air temperature; see
product literature at: www.aquacal.com, or contact AquaCal Customer Support (727-823-5642).
Finally, decide upon the temperature at which you plan to maintain your pool or spa.
The following work sheet can be used to calculate approximately how long it will take your heater to
bring your pool or spa up to temperature. Keep in mind heating times will vary somewhat due to
weather conditions during the period that the heater is in use; use of a pool blanket can dramatically
improve heat up and heat maintenance performance.
Pool Volume (Length X Width XAverage Depth) = Pool Cubic Feet
X Gallons per cubic ft.(7.5) = Pool Gallonage
X Pounds per Gallon (8.3) = Pounds of Water
How many degrees do you want to raise the temperature of the pool?
# of Degrees X Pounds of Water (per above) = BTU's Required
BTU's Required (per above) _ BTU Output of Heater = Hrs. of Operation
Optional Cold Weather Adjustment Factor:
Hrs. of Operation (per above) X 1.25 (60° F outside air (O.A.) Temperature Factor)
Hrs. of Operation at 60° F O.A.
At Start Up: Continuous Circulation Pump Operation Required
When starting a heat pump for the first time, it must be permitted to operate, continuously, until the
desired water temperature is attained. This may take several hours, to several days, depending upon
the size of the pool or spa and weather conditions.
If a time clock or similar device controls the operating times of the water circulation pump, temporarily
override the water pump controller, allowing for 24-hour, continuous water pump operation.
Once the body of water has reached the desired temperature, the water pump controller can be reset.
PA
MAINTENANCE & OPERATION (continued)
Seasonal Use & Shut Down
During the Swim Season:
• During the swim season, even if the pool or spa is not in use, allow water to flow through the
heater. Doing so eliminates the need to reposition valves when you do wish to heat the pool or
spa.
• During periods when heating or cooling is not desired, leave heater controls in the OFF position.
Important !!!
Information Critical to the
Survival of Your Heater
Follows...
Freeze Protection & Extended Shut Down:
In areas where freezing conditions are a rare occurrence, allow the filtration system to run continu-
ously 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 winter-
ized; please refer to winterizing instructions, below, and on the following pages.
Winterizing for Hard Freeze Conditions:
Failure to heed the following can result in damage to
equipment and/or property.
Failure to properly winterize heat pump may result in serious equipment damage. Freeze
damage is not covered under the heat pump warranty.
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.
Winterizing continued on page following)
23
MAINTENANCE & OPERATION (continued)
Winterizing Procedure Continued:
1. Disconnect all electrical power to the heater; turn OFF circulating 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 condensor.
DO NOT replace plug until final winterizing step.
Location of External Drain Plug will vary by model
4. If no external drain plug is found, it will be necessary to open access panel and see if heat
exchanger has an internal drain plug. If so, remove plug, and allow water to drain out of the
condensor.

ternal Drain
ug

heat exchanger.
PLEASE NOTE - If your heat pump contains an exchanger other than what is shown above,
call AquaCal AutoPilot for alternate winterizing instructions.
5. Replace the winterizing plug; thread the plug in clockwise until just snug, then apply an additional
1/8 tum. 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.
6.. Next Season: To ready the heat pump for use, simply retighten plumbing connection unions.
Hand -tight is generally sufficient.

Heat Pump Fails to Operate...eso s0o,9C,°a�
P ,,arc
Is the display illuminated?
If not, ensure the main breaker (located at the power supply panel) and the disconnect switch
(located near the heat pump) are both turned ON.
Is the code "FLO" displayed?
If so, check to be sure that the circulating pump is operating and the filter is clean. There may also
be a valve positioned incorrectly allowing water to bypass the heat pump. Be sure water is flowing
through the heater.
Is the Pool or Spa thermostat selected for the correct body of water to be heated, have
you tried selecting a higher temperature setting, and have you chosen the correct
"Mode" of operation? (For icebreaker or Heat and Cool Models only) ?
If not, the actual water temperature may be above that of the selected thermostat. Raise the
desired water temperature above the actual water temperature; the fan should start, and after
approximately four (4) minutes, the "Heating" light should illuminate. If the heat pump still fails to
start, and the unit is not in defrost (heat -only unit defrost display code is: "FS"), contact Aquacal
Customer Support: 727-823-5642.
Heat Pump Running... but is it Heating?
Is the air blowing out of the top of the unit noticeably cooler than the surrounding air?
(VVrth heating indicator light illuminated, a 9°F to 12°F difference is typical.) If not, contact Aqua -
Cal for service at: 727-823-5642. But firstbe sure all air coil surfaces are free from obstructions—
low roof overhangs, landscaping, walls, fences, etc., can restrict air flow. The heat pump needs
good airflow to operate at peak efficiency.
How many hours/day does the circulating pump operate?
Cooler weather conditions, or heating to a higher than normal temperature, may necessitate
running the heat pump for a longer period of time. Was the heater sized considering the use
of a pool blanket (check with installing dealer)? A blanket can be useful in permitting shorter
run times, in turn leading to substantial energy cost savings.
What is the outside air temperature?
The heat pump may be in the defrost mode if air temperatures are below 50°F. With Heat -Only
models, if the heater is in defrost, the code: "FS" will be displayed. If air temperatures are not cold,
but the heater remains in defrost, contact AquaCal Customer Support at: 727-823-5642.
Water Coming from the Heat Pump...
Is it a leak or just condensation from normal operation? Here's how to find out.
Test the water draining out the heater base for the presence of the sanitizer being used in the pool
or spa.. Using a water test kit, or a test strip, check a sample of the water for chlorine or bromine.
If the sample tests positive for sanitizer, call AquaCal for service at: 727-823-5642. If the test is
negative, the water is probably harmless condensate.
Or, as an alternate method, shut the heat pump off, leaving the circulation pump running. Within a
few hours, there should be a marked reduction in the amount of water seen around the bottom of
the heat pump. If the water appears to be drying up, the water is probably harmless condensate,
indicative of normal operation.
NOTE: The water test method will not be effective if an ionizer or ozone generator is being used to
produce the sanitizing agent.
CAUTIONI If after testing, a water leak is suspected, immediately shut OFF the water pump and
26 contact AquaCal Customer Support: 727-823-5642.

INSTALLATION
Placement of Heater
-Indoor Installation -
Indoor installations can be problematic, and for that reason are discouraged. However, if no viable
alternative exists, indoor installations may be successfully accomplished provided very exacting cri-
teria is addressed. Every indoor installation is unique; therefore, there are no specific guidelines for
this type of installation. If considering an indoor installation, you are strongly urged to contact the
AquaCal Engineering department (727) 823-5642 for assistance prior to proceeding.
-Outdoor Installation -
Service and Operational Clearances:
• To operate correctly, heat pumps require large volumes of air moving over the heat collector.
allow adequate clearance between the heat pump and walls, fences, shrubs, or other objects.
Refer to required clearance drawings below.
• Allow five (5) feet of vertical clearance between the top of the heat pump and any roof overhang
or other obstruction. This clearance prevents cold discharge air from recirculating back into the
heat pump (recirculation will reduce the overall performance of the heat pump).
• The access panel requires removal during installation and service. Do not place plumbing, or
other items, closer than 30" from the front of the heater.

Irrigation, Rainwater Runoff, and Landscape Features
• Place the heat pump away from direct rain runoff from roofs. if roof slope directs runoff into the
heater, a gutter or rain shield will be required on the roof edge above the heat pump.
• Relocate or adjust irrigation to avoid water spray onto the heat pump.
® Do not locate the heat pump directly adjacent to plants, shrubs, or bushes. Doing so will prevent
proper air circulation into the unit, and may inhibit access to the heater when service is needed.
• Consult drawings on previous page (Required Installation Clearances) for proper spacing to
other objects.
Equipment Mounting Pad Requirements
• The equipment pad shall be constructed of concrete, pressure treated wood, or other code -
approved materials.
• The equipment pad shall meet all requirements of authorities having code -related jurisdiction.
• The pad shall be elevated and placed to provide adequate drainage and supportto the base of
the heat pump. The pad should be essentially level with just enough pitch to drain condensate
and any other water away from the heater.
• The pad shall extend—in all directions—(at least) 3" beyond the base of the heat pump.
• Under no circumstances shall the heater be installed directly onto the earth.
Anchoring Heater to Pad
• Follow all relevant local, state, or national requirements regarding wind load anchoring.

INSTALLATION
Plumbing Requirements
Overview
When planning plumbing system layout, reference the plumbing schematics within this section as a
guide to the sequence of equipment, valves, fittings, etc. The plumbing configurations for typical instal-
lations are diagrammed. In operation, it is imperative the heat pump receive water flow within the
minimum -maximum ranges specified for the particular heat pump. Should the system installation
under consideration not closely match any of the schematics, contact AquaCal Technical Support
Group for advice and guidance: (727-823-5642).
Approved Parts and Materials
Industry technology changes much too rapidly for AquaCal to specify, with exactness, any items out-
side and beyond the heat pump. What is specified is that the heater must be installed in accordance
with all applicable local, state, or national codes & standards.
In -Line Chlorine Feeders
The titanium heat exchanger tube is nearly impervious to chemical damage; however, other parts of
the heater may be damaged by concentrated chlorine. Caution: Per chlorinator manufacturers' rec-
ommendations, always place in-line chlorinators as low, and as far downstream from the heater as
possible. And if an erosion type feeder is used always install/use a Hartford Loop to protect internal
heat pump components.
Maintain Ability to Winterize
In regions where hard freeze conditions are typical, the unions mentioned below allow for easy discon-
nection and re -connection of the heater from/to the plumbing system. Caution: Do not defeat the
function of the unions—use no glue on the threaded portion of the unions.
Water Connections to Heat Pump
All AquaCal heat pumps are supplied with 2" PVC plumbing unions. Connection to site plumbing is
made via PVC solvent cement to the female slip.socket of the plumbing unions.
Maximum Static or Operating Pressure: 50 -PSI
Minimum - Maximum Water Flow Rates
• All AquaCal heaters represented within this manual are designed to operate successfully at flow
rates of 30 -to -70 gallons -per -minute (GPM).
• Design the plumbing system to maintain at least 50 -GPM flow through the heater under worst
case conditions (i.e.: filter fouled to 10 psi rise); the heat pump will not operate correctly, nor
reliably, with less than 50 -GPM of water flow supplied. These specifications relate to heater only;
code -specified whole system turnover rates must be satisfied.
• If water flow rates through the heater will exceed 70 -GPM, a spring -check bypass valve will be
required. Install AquaCal P.N.: 2556 5 -LB bypass check valve, or bypass check valve equal to Del
Industries PN: CO -0103. See drawing, top of next page, for install location in site plumbing.
CAUTION !I! Installations with In floor Cleaning Systems
In: floor cleaning systems, dependent upon varying site circumstances, may create water hammer
conditions throughout the water circulation system. Water hammer is very damaging to the plumbing
system and connected devices. Where an in floor cleaning system is (or will be) installed, AquaCal
strongly recommends a water hammer suppression stand pipe assembly within the plumbing circuit.
For additional information, please contact AquaCal Customer Support (727-823-5642) and request
Technical Service Bulletin: AQ P-1031, Water HammerAbatement with In -Floor Cleaning Systems.

Controls Configuration & Adjustments
Level -2 (Dealer -Service) Microprocessor Programming
(Includes Configuration for External Controllers)
Level -2 programming involves configuring the heat pump microprocessor for specific site character-
istics. To explain: this programming is where the heat pump microprocessor is set to operate with, or
without, an external "pool equipment» controller; where sensor calibrations are performed; and where
changes to other factory default parameters are made.
Before transferring use of the heater to the owner, the installer must insure the controller programming
is compatible with any site -installed external controllers, and that the heater starts and operates per
the manufacturer's specifications.
Generally speaking, the installer's main focus within Level -2 programming will be in configuring for
external controller compatibility. And, unless instructed to do otherwise by the AquaCal Technical
Support Group, the installer should not adjust sensor calibration or dead -band values.
Failure to heed the following may result in equipment dam-
age and voiding of manufacturer's warranty.
Heat pumps contain no owner -serviceable components. Owner -initiated adjustments, beyond
the controller "LOC" code, must not be attempted. If adjustments are deemed necessary, the
owner should contact installing dealer or AquaCal Customer Support at (727-823-5642).

4. Water Sensor Calibration [tSC]:
If it is believed the displayed pool or spa water temperature does not match the actual
temperature, follow the steps below to verify and adjust the controller as necessary. Be certain
to use an accurate thermometer.
A With the circulating pump in operation, and water moving through the heater, use a reliable
thermometer to measure the temperature of the pool or spa water. Be sure to measure the
water temperature away from returns. The object is to accurately determine the temperature
of the water entering the heater.
B. Once you have measured the water temperature, compare the result to the heater's
displayed water temperature. If the water temperatures are the same or within 1 OF, no
calibration is necessary. if the temperatures differ by 2 to 30F,- calibration is necessary.
Perform calibration procedure as follows: (Continued on Next Page)

[dSC] (Defrost Sensor Calibration).,
5. Defrost Sensor Calibration [dSC] (Checking -Adjusting):
In the event it is suspected the defrost Sensor requires calibration, the following steps must be
followed closely to ensure correct defrost operation:
A. At the heater control panel "Mode" button, set the system to OFF.
B. Remove the heater front panel to gain access to the defrost sensor location. The defrost
sensor will be found strapped to the suction line in combination with the TXV bulb, or
strapped and separately insulated nearby the TXV bulb. Note: if unsure of sensor location,
follow to termination—the pair of wires leading from the "FS" terminals on the controller PC
board.
C. Position a clamp -on, thermocouple -type temperature sensor onto the suction line; position
the clamp immediately adjacent to the defrost sensor. Connect the clamp -on thermocouple
to a multimeter designed to accept the input of the clamp -on device.
D. Once the heater has remained OFF for a minimum of 10 -minutes, procede to step "E,"
below.
E. Follow steps 1, A through 1, D to enter the service menu. Once [dEQ is displayed, press
the [POOUSPA] key until the display shows [dSC] (Defrost Sensor Calibration). With [dSC]
displayed, pressing either the [UP] or [DOWN] arrow key, once, will display the current
temperature value of the defrost sensor.
F. Compare the controller's displayed defrost sensor temperature against the reading obtained
by the clamp -on device. If the temperatures are the same, or within 1 OF, calibration is NOT
necessary. If the temperatures differ by 2 to 3°F, calibration is necessary. The controller can
be adjusted to +10°F to —10°F from the nominal displayed temperature. However, offset
calibrations greater than 3°F should be avoided. Such large offsets generally indicate
problems with the method of suction line temperature measurement, a defrost sensor not
properly attached to the suction line, or other equipment issues. Do NOT attempt to mask
such issues through offset calibration.

6. Spa Dead Band Differential [dBS]:
In the heating mode, the dead band differential determines the number of degrees the water
temperature must fall below the set point before the thermostat closes. In the cooling mode, the
dead band differential determines the number of degrees the water temperature must rise above
the set point before the thermostat closes. When in the auto -changeover mode, the dead band
differential operates in the same manner as described above for the heating and the cooling modes.
However, in all modes, the thermostat will open when the set point is reached independent of the
direction the water temperature is changing. The factory spa dead band differential is set to 1 OF. It
is strongly recommended the factory default of 1 OF remain; however, if for some reason the dead
band requires adjustment, follow the steps outlined below:

Microprocessor Mode Jumper Positioning
Mode Jumper Explained
The HP7R microprocessor is designed to operate as a Heat -Only or a Heating & Cooling controller.
The selection between the two choices is made through the positioning of a mode jumper contained
on the microprocessor board. The position of the jumper is set at the factory, and is dependant upon
the design of the heater being controlled. Heaters designed to heat only, have the microprocessor
mode jumper set in the heat -only mode; heaters capable of both heating and cooling (reversing), have
their microprocessor mode jumper set to permit control of both heating and cooling.
Important: The position of the mode jumper must match the capabilities of the heat pump. Simply
placing the mode jumper to the heating and cooling position, with a heater designed to heat only, will
not make a heat -only heater heat & cool. In fact, a mis-positioned mode jumper will cause heater
control difficulties.
Verifying the Mode Jumper Position is Correct
1. Apply electrical power to the heater.
2. Review the available modes by repeatedly pressing the [MODE] key:
A Heat -Only Models: the [MODE] key functions should appear as: [OFF] and [HEA].
B. Heat -Cool Models (Icebreakers): the [MODE] key functions should appear as: [OFF], [HEA],
[COO], and [AHC].
3. If the modes do not display correctly for the heater being serviced, the mode selector jumper,
located on the microprocessor PC board, is likely placed in the wrong position. To correct this
condition, the jumper will need to be repositioned. See repositioning instructions, below.
Repositioning the Mode Jumper
Use this procedure if [MODE] key functions indicate jumper positioning is incorrect. The mode
jumper is located on the microprocessor controller board, within the heater's electrical enclosure.
Failure to heed the following may result in permanent
injury or death.
This is NOT an owner or operator procedure. Repairs must not be attempted by untrained
and/or unqualified individuals. Risk of Electrical Shock... Ensure all electrical power to the
heater has been disconnected prior to removing the heater front access panel. Leave
electrical power disconnected throughout the following jumper repositioning procedure.
1. To access the jumper, disconnect electrical power and remove the heater front entry panel; then,
remove the metal cover from heater electrical enclosure. For layout details of the PC control
board, see figures on next page.
2. Locate the mode jumper in the upper right hand comer of the PC control board; per the figures
on the following page, identify the correct location for the jumper. If the jumper is found to be
incorrectly positioned, gently disengage the jumper by pulling it directly away from the control
board.
3. Correctly reposition the jumper, leaving one pin uncovered. Note: The jumper should cover two
(2) pins: one always being the middle pin, and the other the correct pin for the features of the
heat pump.

Water Flow (Pressure) Switch Adjustment continued:
To Complete the Adjustment Procedure— Either Brand Switch:
1. With electrical power remaining ON to the heater and heater operating, shut off the power to the
circulating pump. If the switch has been correctly adjusted, when the water pump stops, the
heater will shut off and the "FLO" code will display.
CAUTION: If the heater continues to operate with water pump off, readjust water pressure switch
to ensure heater will not run without water flow.
2. Reinstall heater front cover.
