4.3. Electrical Connections
- Connect the heat pump to a dedicated electrical circuit with appropriate protection (circuit breaker).
- Refer to the specifications section for power requirements.
- Use the wired control extension (10m) to position the LED control panel conveniently.
5. Operating Instructions
The POOLEX JETPOWER 120 is designed for user-friendly operation with its LED control panel and Wi-Fi connectivity.
5.1. Initial Start-up
- Ensure the pool's filtration system is running and water is circulating through the heat pump.
- Turn on the electrical power to the heat pump.
- The LED control panel will illuminate. Follow the on-screen prompts to set the desired water temperature.
5.2. Full Inverter Technology
The Full Inverter technology allows the heat pump to continuously vary the speed of its compressor and fan. This results in:
- Energy Efficiency: Up to 35% energy savings compared to ON/OFF heat pumps by avoiding consumption peaks.
- Quiet Operation: Reduced noise levels, especially when maintaining the set temperature.
- Rapid Heating: The system can boost capacity for faster temperature increases when needed.
5.3. Reversible Heating/Cooling
The JETPOWER 120 can both heat and cool your pool water. This feature is particularly useful for smaller above-ground pools prone to overheating, which can encourage algae growth.
- Select the desired mode (heating or cooling) via the control panel or smartphone app.
5.4. Wi-Fi Connectivity
Control your heat pump remotely using the dedicated smartphone application. Refer to the separate Wi-Fi setup guide for detailed instructions on connecting your device.
