Page 21: Overview Of Controls
(Please refer to control panel diagram on previous page.) With the toggle switch in the OFF (O) position, the heater will be prevented from operating (however, there may be power to the unit; see "Power Light On", below). With the toggle switch positioned toward the SPA or POOL thermostat knob, and with the following conditions met: 1) water pump in operation, 2) water flowing through the heater, and, 3) electrical power to the heater, the heater will run anytime the water temperature drops below the thermostat setting. -
Page 22: Heating Tips
The heater controls contain a solid-state time delay module. This time delay feature prevents damage to the compressor should electrical power be repeatedly interrupted, or if the heat pump were to come under any other circumstances leading to an on-off-on-off cycling condi- tion. -
Page 23: Pool And Spa Combination Heating
Your system can be automated with the addition of an optional AquaCal Universal Heater Control (AquaCal part #0097TS). This will save you from having to change the thermostat switch each time you change from pool to spa and back again. -

Check Water Temperature Change Through Condenser We recommend that all AquaCal heat pump owners take advantage of this annual service starting one year after the installation of the unit. You will be surprised at the minimal cost of this service. The service is very reasonably priced for what is included. -
Page 26: Maintaining Proper Water Flow
If the conditions listed above remain unresolved, the water flow through the heater may be reduced to a point where internal safety devices shut the heater off. Before calling for service, always check the filter, the pump basket, and water valve positions. If the problem persists, call AquaCal Customer Support at: (800) 786-7751. -
Page 27: Maintaining Proper Clearances Around Heater
Maintaining Proper Clearances Around Heater u For maximum efficiency, proper air flow clearances around heater must be maintained. u It is important to keep the area around your heat pump clear of items such as shrubs and bushes, lawn furniture, chemicals containers, etc. These items can prevent air from circulating properly through the heater, and will result in inefficient operation or damage to components inside the heat pump. -
Page 28: Winterizing Procedure
1. Disconnect all electrical power to the heater; turn OFF circulating pump. 2. At the two (2) water connection unions, disconnect the plumbing to the heater (removal is counterclockwise). 3. Locate the drain plug at lower, right-hand, front corner of heater. (See Figures 1 & 2, below.) 4. -
