Clean the filter at the end of this operation before
starting the heat pump. When raising the temperature
of a cold pool, program the time clock to run the pump
continuously.
This lets the filter system and heat pump operate
continuously until the water reaches the temperature
setting on the temperature control. When that happens,
the heat pump will automatically shut off, but the filter
pump will keep running.
