OWNER’S MANUAL
CHAUFFE-PISCINE COMMERCIAL POOL HEAT PUMP
Thank you for buying
an THERMEAU pool heat pump.
The THERMEAU pool heat pump is a self-contained unit designed specifically
for pool heating. Each component has been selected with care to achieve a
high-quality product in an effort to exceed all industry standards.
All THERMEAU pool heat pumps have a Scrollcompressor, an electronic board
with service analyzer, a titanium heat exchanger tube warranted for 10 years
against corrosion. All components are of superior quality, which presents you
with an effective, state-of-the-art technology heat pump.
In general, compared to other types of pool heaters, such as gas or oil-
fired, the THERMEAU pool heat pump has a lower heating capacity on a
BTU/hr basis. Therefore, it needs to operate for a longer time to accomplish
the desired results. Occasionally, it may be necessary to run the heat pump for
up to 24 hours per day. However, this should not be of concern to the owner
because the heater is designed to operate continuously. What’s more, despite
continuous operation, it will still heat the pool far more economically than other
types of heaters.

CAUTION
All electrical connections must be done by a qualified electrician and
according to the local electrical codes. Always cut off the unit’s main
power whenever the access panel is open or removed. Always install the
machine outdoors (unless otherwise approved by the manufacturer),
while respecting the minimal clearances needed for proper operation
and heating.
!
CAUTION
Proper pool chemistry is vital to the life of your heater. Pay particular
attention to the total alkalinity and TDS. It is highly recommended that you
have your pool chemistry checked often by an independent pool store.

Installation Instructions
Location
The placement of the pool heater is very important in keeping installation
costs to a minimum while providing for maximum efficiency of operation, as
well as allowing adequate access for service and maintenance.
The THERMEAU pool heat pump is designed for outdoor installation and
should not be installed in a fully enclosed area, such as a shed, garage, etc.,
unless ventilation is provided to ensure adequate air exchange for proper
operation. Recirculation of cold discharged air back into the evaporator coil
will greatly reduce unit heating capacity and efficiency.
The unit should be located as close as practical to the existing pool pump and
filter to minimize water piping. However, do not forget to provide a 18” clear-
ance at the very least all around your heat pump.
Mount the unit on a sturdy base, preferably a concrete slab or a set of blocks.
The size of the base should not be less than 40” x 40” (100 cm x 100 cm).
All THERMEAU pool heat pump models feature patented, ultrasilent ventilation
systems. Air is pulled through the evaporator coil and discharged through the
top grille. A minimum clearance of 48 inches should be allowed above the unit
for unrestricted air discharge. The unit must not be installed under a porch. Any
side of the unit should be located at least 24 inches from a wall or from any
other obstruction for unrestricted air intake and service access.

Water piping
The piping sequence is as follows: pool pump > filter > heater > pool. Auto-
mated chlorine distribution systems, if used, must be placed downstream of
the heater to minimize harm to the pool equipment. Use rigid PVC piping if
possible (SCH40 or SCH80). All joints should be glued with PVC glue. If rigid
PVC is not available, you can use soft or flexible piping with stainless steel
clamps. When the piping installation is complete, operate the pool pump and
check the system for leaks. Then, check the filter pressure gauge to verify
that there isn’t any indication of excessive pump head pressure.
You can also make the connections using high-pressure flexible hose, but
make sure the hose can withstand high pressure. The installation of a bypass
is not necessary unless the water flow exceeds 125 GPM.

Multiple Heat Pump Connections
All plumbing on multiple heat pump installations must be done in parallel. An
equal flow of water to each heat pump is important for optimum operation.
NOTE: It may be necessary to adjust water pressure switch if a unit is installed
below the water level.
Each heat pump allows a maximum flow rate of 125 gpm (473 L/min) and
requires a minimum of 60 gpm (227 L/min).
