Dear Owner:

ongratulations on your wise decision to make an AquaCal heat pump part of

your home. Since 1981, AquaCal has maintained the worldwide lead in the

manufacture of swimming pool & spa heat pumps. Your new heat pump is not

only a great investment, but also the most cost effective method available for

heating pools and spas. For example, your heat pump is up to 400% more

efficient than gas, and, when compared

to electric resistance heat, your heat

pump is nearly 600% more effective. You

can rest assured your new heat pump is

of the highest quality and efficiency, and

is designed and built to provide years of

trouble-free operation.

Moreover, should you decide you would

like AquaCal to provide regular inspection

and maintenance of your heat pump—

which we do recommend—you will find

AquaCal’s factory-trained service staff is

the largest and most-qualified in the pool

& spa heat pump industry.

“You can rest assured

knowing your new heat

pump is of the highest

quality and efficiency,

and is designed and

built to provide years

of trouble-free

operation.”

Corrosion-Proof Cabinet

The cabinet, being made from resilient, UV-Protected ABS material, can never rust, fade

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.

PLEASE READ FURTHER TO BECOME FAMILIAR WITH ALL THE FEATURES, THE

SAFE OPERATION, AND THE CARE OF YOUR NEW HEAT PUMP.

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 the hot summer months. For cooler climates,

Icebreaker® heat pumps offer unique advantages over passive defrost models. Please

read more below... Hot Gas Defrost*

Your Icebreaker® heat pump is uniquely equipped for active defrost. Active defrost

involves directing hot refrigerant gas to the heat collector, melting accumulated ice

away in a matter of a few minutes—then right back to heating. Standard heat pumps

may remain “off in defrost” for extended periods during very cold weather. Because of

its ability to continue to operate even during freezing weather, your Icebreaker extends

the swimming season longer than any other heat pump.

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 piston-type compressors.

*Icebreaker ® Models Only

ThermoLink®Heat Exchanger

The heart of your heat pump is the patented ThermoLink heat exchanger. The primary

cause 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 suscep-

tible 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

ThermoLink heat exchanger tube is made from titanium, and is virtually impervious to

water chemistry damage.

Digital Controller

Digitally-based microprocessor, controls water temperature to within 1º Fahrenheit of

set point. Controller also permits user to predefine different pool and spa water tem-

peratures, and to prevent tampering by locking out controls via a pass code.

HOWAHEATPUMPWORKS

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 “0”–the point where all heat is absent–occurs at 459º Fahrenheit

below zero, it becomes evident outside air–even at the relative cool temperature of 55º

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.

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 experienced

service personnel. Should you, the owner, suspect your heat pump is not performing

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: (800)

786-7751. For questions concerning installation, modifications, operation, service and

upkeep, please contact your installer or AquaCal Customer Support. Warranties may be

voided if the heater has been used, maintained, or repaired improperly.

In addition to possible voiding of warranties: unapproved installation methods, nonstandard

modifications, poor or incorrect maintenance, service by unqualified personnel, or improper

use of this unit, may result in personal injury and/or property damage. For personal

safety and to avoid damage to equipment, it is important that safety instructions displayed

on the heat pump, and within this manual, are read, understood, and followed.

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.

HEATING-QUICKSTART&STOP

Getting Started

(Quick-Start & Stop Continued Next Page)

1. Verify Electrical Power is Present at Heater:

A. Ensure that the unit has electrical power connected; the heater controller display should

beilluminated;

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.

A. The owner settings can be set 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. The chosen mode will be

verified by an illuminated indicator light, located on the left side of the display, showing

that the POOL control has been selected (If heating just 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 (If heating just a POOL, using the DOWN arrow key, lower the SPAtemperature until

OFF is displayed.);

F. The heat pump controls are now set to maintain the desired water temperature for the

POOL and/or SPA.

2. Set the Heater Controls (Refer to Control Panel Layout, Pg-12):

OWNER- If heater is connected to a Call-Flex controller, also see Call-Flex programming

located in Owner Level Programming, beginning on page-14 of this manual.

INSTALLER- Is heater connected to an external controller? See: Dealer-Specific Instructions,

beginning on page-31 this manual.

This brief information is provided as an aide to installers, service personnel, and owners. The intent of

this section is to provide rapid access to (only) 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

controller. Owners: if your installation includes an external controller, contact your installing

dealer for operational instructions.

These are instructions to quick-start in the HEATING mode...Owners of Heat-Cool units, in order to

utilize all features of their heater, will certainly want to also refer to: Owner Level Programming, begin-

ning on page-14 of this manual.
