The cabinet, being made from resilient, UV-Protected ABS material, has superior fade

resistance and can never rust or corrode. You can expect the cabinet to retain a like-

new appearance with only an occasional wash down and—if so desired—a quick waxing.

OPERATION, AND THE CARE OF YOUR NEW HEAT PUMP.

Puts you in full control, year round... Warms your pool or spa with the reliability and

efficiency of our other heat pumps, but, with the flip of a switch, can also cool your pool

or spa to refreshing temperatures during hot summer months. For cooler climates,

heat pumps offer unique advantages over passive defrost models. Please

Hot gas defrost

heat pumps are uniquely equipped for an active defrost cycle. Active

defrost involves directing hot refrigerant vapor to the heat collector, melting accumulat-

ed ice away in a matter of a few minutes... then right back to heating. Standard defrost

heat pumps may remain “off in defrost” for extended periods during very cold weather.

Because of their ability to continue to operate–even during freezing weather–hot gas

defrost models extend the swimming season longer than any standard-defrost heat

pump.

50% fewer moving parts than standard piston-type compressors. This equates to much

improved reliability and improved efficiency. Scroll compressors are also much quieter in

operation than their piston-type counterparts. And, while all AquuaCal heat pumps are

known for their low operating noise levels, if yours is a SuperQuiet

 model, it’s very

likely your heat pump will be quieter than any other item on the pool equipment pad.

The heart of your heat pump is the patented ThermoLink

 heat exchanger. One of the

primary causes of premature heat pump demise is the failure of the heat exchanger.

Ordinary heat exchangers are made from a cupronickel alloy. This cupronickel material is

susceptible to attack from the sanitizers used in pools and spas and from other related

water chemistry conditions. Once the heat exchanger fails, the heat pump is ruined. The

ThermoLink

 heat exchanger tube is made from titanium, and is virtually impervious to

water chemistry damage.

Digitally-based microprocessor controls water temperature to within 1º Fahrenheit of

set point. Controller also permits user to predefine different pool and spa water temper-

atures, and to prevent tampering by locking out controls via a pass code.  The micro-

prosser controller also provides superior defrost control, and self diagnostics.
