How do I start up my heat pump?

First, make sure the heat pump is properly connected to the hydraulic lines:

  • WATER IN = blue = lower connection
  • WATER OFF = red = upper connection

Also check that there is good circulation and that the bypass is set correctly so that the full flow is running over the heat pump. A regular backwash (weekly or biweekly) can help and is even recommended to keep the heat pump working optimally. An extra tip here is to place a flow fish between the heat pump and filter, so that you always have control over a properly executed backwash and thus have good circulation in your pool.

Everything checked? Top, then you’re ready to start up the heat pump!

  1. Start the electricity in. Always keep the heat pump energized. Also, never shut down the heat pump by removing the electrical supply.
  2. The display will light up and startup codes will appear. Wait until the display shows 2 temperatures or until 0% is readable in the upper right corner of the display.
  3. Unlock the display so you can operate everything properly. You do this by pressing the lock for a few seconds until you hear a beep. After a certain time, the display unlocks itself again.
  4. Now set the desired temperature.
  5. Is the temperature set? Then the heat pump will start up after 3 minutes.
  6. The percentage (mode) is shown on the display and controlled by the pump itself. The mode is read at the bottom right. You can set this yourself via the fan icon.

    Inverter+:
    II = 80% silence mode
    III = 100%

    Inver X:
    I = silence mode
    II = smart mode
    III = boost mode (when you want to heat up the pool quickly at the start of the pool season). You need to start it up manually yourself and the heat pump will automatically turn it off when the desired temperature is reached.

When outside temperatures are low, such as at the start or end of a season, the heat pump may freeze. The heat pump will even engage an automatic defrost process and may produce quite a bit of noise when it does so or even emit a plume of smoke (water vapor). This is normal and nothing to worry about. After the defrost, the pump will switch back automatically and systematically ramp up to the correct percentage.
