Function Description

The Crystal Vertical heat pump is designed primarily for heating swimming pools. It utilizes a flammable refrigerant, R32, and incorporates advanced technology for efficient and environmentally friendly operation. The unit offers high performance, achieving up to 90% energy savings compared to conventional heating systems. It features a reliable, high-output compressor and a wide hydrophilic aluminum evaporator, allowing for effective operation even at low temperatures. The heat pump is equipped with a dual antifreeze system, including a revolutionary exchanger with a patented antifreeze system and a smart monitoring system, to prevent frost damage and protect pipework and liners without requiring the pool to be emptied in winter.

The heat pump can operate in various modes: Heating Mode (inverter) for intelligent pool water heating, Cooling Mode (inverter) for intelligent pool water cooling, ECO Silence Mode for reduced-speed heating, and Auto Mode for automatic cooling or heating based on the set temperature. It also includes an automatic defrosting mode that activates when the evaporator reaches a negative temperature.

Electrical Installation Requirements:

Upstream protection: 30 mA differential switch.
Circuit breaker: Suitable D-curve circuit breaker.
Power supply cable: Must be adapted to the unit's rated power and wiring length, suitable for outdoor use.
Emergency stop button: Mandatory in public places.

Usage Features

The heat pump is controlled via a wired remote control with an intuitive user interface.

Starting the heat pump: Press the On/Off button for 3 seconds.
Adjusting water temperature: Once unlocked, use the up/down buttons to set the desired temperature.
Locking/Unlocking control panel: Press the up and down buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds.
Operating mode selection: Press the 'M' button for 3 seconds to cycle through Heating, Cooling, ECO Silence, and Auto modes.
Setting the clock: Use the clock/timer button and up/down arrows to adjust hours and minutes.
Programming Start/Stop timings: Up to 3 different Start/Stop timings can be programmed. This involves long-pressing the clock/timer button, selecting a program, and setting start/stop times using the clock/timer and up/down buttons.
Activating a program: Long-press the clock/timer button, select the program, and keep pressing 'M' until ON/OFF indicator lights flash.
Forced de-icing function: Long-press 'M' and the down arrow for 3 seconds; a specific symbol will flash.
Enable/Disable LEDs: Hold 'M' and the up arrow for 3 seconds. LEDs reactivate automatically after a power cut.
Status values query: Keep pressing the clock/timer button to enter verification mode, then use up/down arrows to check values like water inlet/outlet temperature, ambient temperature, compressor current, PCB temperature, fan motor current/speed, etc.
System parameter query: Keep pressing the up arrow for 3 seconds to enter settings verification mode. An experienced professional can adjust parameters like temperature difference before restart, cooling/heating temperatures, de-icing activation/duration, and expansive valve action period. Modifying reserved settings voids the warranty.

Maintenance Features

Regular maintenance is crucial for the heat pump's efficiency and longevity.

Cleaning: The casing should be cleaned with a damp cloth. The evaporator at the rear must be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner and soft brush.
Annual maintenance: A qualified person should perform safety checks, verify electrical wiring integrity, check earthing connections, and monitor the pressure gauge and refrigerant presence. For units used with ponds or non-chemically treated hot tubs, flushing the titanium heat exchanger every few months is recommended to prevent bio-film buildup.
Winter storage: When ambient temperatures drop below 3°C, the heat pump should be winterized to prevent frost damage. While designed to withstand frost, it's not recommended to leave it connected to water without flow for long periods. After draining the pool, ensure the heat pump is free of trapped water. Store the unit in a dry place or cover it.
- Winterizing steps:
  1. Disconnect power supply.
  2. Open the By-Pass valve and close inlet/outlet valves.
  3. Unscrew drain plug and water pipes to drain water.
  4. Screw back drain plug and pipes, or block them to prevent foreign bodies, then protect the pump with a winter storage cover.
Pressure gauge monitoring: The gauge indicates refrigerant pressure. Normal operating range is 250-400 PSI. When shut down, it should reflect ambient temperature (150-350 PSI max). If pressure drops below 80 PSI, it indicates a refrigerant leak, requiring a qualified technician for repair and gas replacement.
Fault codes: The unit displays fault symbols (e.g., E05) on the screen in case of a problem. A list of faults and possible causes/actions is provided in the manual, including issues like flow sensor malfunction, antifreeze protection, high/low pressure, connection problems, temperature errors, and fan motor malfunctions.
