Water Flow Rates

Maintain water flow rates as indicated. Please note, these specifications relate to the heat pump only. Code-specified whole system turnover rates must be satisfied.

NOTICE

Failure to heed the following may result in damage to equipment.

 

  • Water flow exceeding maximum flow rates will negatively affect the total pool filtration performance and may damage the heat pump. This will not be covered under the equipment warranty.

Please note -

If minimum flow rates are not met, heat pump performance is reduced and performance will suffer. Internal safety devices may deactivate the heat pump with the following errors:

  • HP and HP5
  • or (if equipped) error codes of LP and LP5
  • Operate water filtration devices per manufacturer's specifications. Dirty filters can cause a reduction of water flow to the heat pump. An increase of 7-10 psi (48 to 69 kPa) higher than the clean filter pressure typically reduces flow rates. This requires the filter to be cleaned or back-washed.
  • Keep baskets free of debris. A large quantity of debris in the pump and skimmer baskets can reduce water flow.
  • Check for improper valve settings. A partially closed valve after the filter, or a full-open bypass around the heat pump, will cause insufficient water flow through the heat pump.
  • The maximum static pressure (or operating pressure) is 50 psi (345 kPa). These specifications relate to the heat pump only.
  • Code-specified whole system turnover rates must be satisfied.
