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.
| MODEL | HEAT EXCHANGER TYPE | FLOW RATES | |
|---|---|---|---|
| MINIMUM | MAXIMUM | ||
|
SQ140R |
Titanium ThermoLink® |
30 GPM (113.6 L/min) |
70 GPM (265 L/min) |
|
SQ200R |
Titanium ThermoLink® |
30 GPM (113.6 L/min) |
70 GPM (265 L/min) |
|
TC1000 |
Titanium ThermoLink® |
30 GPM (113.6 L/min) |
70 GPM (265 L/min) |
|
TC1500 |
Titanium ThermoLink® |
30 GPM (113.6 L/min) |
70 GPM (265 L/min) |
| TC500 | Titanium Tube-in-Tube |
20 GPM (75.7 L/min) |
45 GPM (170 L/min) |
* Head Loss - 30 GPM = 1.5 PSI, 70 GPM = 8.2 PSI
Please note -
If minimum flow rates are not met, heat pump output is reduced and performance will suffer. Internal safety devices may deactivate the heat pump with the following errors:
- HIGH PRESSURE FAULT
- HP5 SYSTEM LOCKOUT
- LOW PRESSURE FAULT
- LP5 SYSTEM LOCKOUT
- 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
- 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 operating pressure is 50 psi
- The heat pump is not intended to be installed on high pressure applications.
- Code-specified whole system turnover rates must be satisfied.
