3. Setup and Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the performance and longevity of your heat pump. It is recommended that installation be performed by a qualified professional.
3.1 Unpacking and Inspection
Carefully unpack the heat pump and all accessories. Inspect for any shipping damage. Report any damage to your supplier immediately.
3.2 Site Selection
Choose a location that allows for adequate airflow around the unit and is close to the pool's filtration system. Ensure the ground is level and stable.
3.3 Component Assembly
The heat pump comes with essential accessories for installation:
Figure 3.1: Various accessories included with the heat pump. These include PVC connectors (Ø 50 mm 1'' ½), anti-vibration bracket kit, condensate drain hose, a maintenance box with multilingual user manual, and a wired control extension (10 m).
- Anti-vibration Bracket Kit: Install these brackets under the unit to minimize vibration and noise.
- PVC Connectors: Use the provided Ø 50 mm 1'' ½ PVC connectors to integrate the heat pump into your pool's plumbing system. Ensure all connections are watertight.
- Condensate Drain Hose: Connect the condensate drain hose to the designated outlet to manage condensation runoff.
- Wired Control Extension: The LED control panel can be extended up to 10 meters using the provided cable for convenient placement.
3.4 Electrical Connection
Connect the heat pump to a dedicated electrical circuit as per local electrical codes. Ensure proper grounding.
3.5 WiFi Setup
The heat pump features integrated WiFi for smartphone control. Download the compatible application (e.g., Smart Life app) from your device's app store and follow the in-app instructions to connect your heat pump to your home network. This allows for remote monitoring and control.
4. Operating Instructions
Your POOLEX heat pump is designed for user-friendly operation with multiple modes to suit your heating needs.
4.1 Control Panel
The LED control panel displays current settings and allows for mode selection and temperature adjustment. It can be detached and extended up to 10 meters for convenient access.
4.2 Operating Modes
The heat pump offers three distinct operating modes:
- Auto Mode: The heat pump automatically adjusts its power output to maintain the desired pool temperature efficiently.
- Boost Mode: Provides maximum heating power for rapid temperature increase, ideal for initial heating or quick recovery after a temperature drop.
- Eco Mode: Operates at a lower power setting to conserve energy once the desired temperature is reached, maintaining it with minimal consumption.
4.3 Setting Desired Temperature
Use the up/down arrows on the control panel or the smartphone app to set your desired pool water temperature. The unit will then work to achieve and maintain this temperature based on the selected operating mode.
4.4 Operating Principle
The heat pump extracts heat from the ambient air and transfers it to the pool water. This process is highly efficient, especially with the variable speed compressor and fan.
Figure 4.1: Schematic diagram showing the heat pump's operation. Air is drawn in, heat is extracted, and then transferred to the pool water, which circulates through the unit.

5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your POOLEX heat pump.
5.1 Routine Cleaning
- Exterior: Keep the exterior of the unit clean and free from dust and debris. Use a soft, damp cloth.
- Air Intake/Outlet: Ensure the air intake and outlet grilles are clear of obstructions (leaves, dirt, etc.) to maintain proper airflow.
5.2 Water Chemistry
Maintain proper pool water chemistry (pH, chlorine levels) as recommended by your pool professional. Imbalanced water can corrode internal components over time.
5.3 Winterization
Before winter or periods of extended non-use, properly winterize the heat pump according to local climate conditions. This typically involves draining water from the unit and covering it. A winterization cover (isotherm cover) may be included or available separately.
5.4 Professional Inspection
It is recommended to have a qualified technician inspect your heat pump annually to ensure all components are functioning correctly and to perform any necessary adjustments.
