CAUTION: Improper chemical content in a
swimming pool or spa can damage the heat pump
pool heater. DO NOT add pool/spa chemicals to the
pool/spa via the skimmer or any other apparatus
(feeder, chlorinator, etc.) that is on the influent
side (i.e. before) of the heater. This will damage
the heat pump pool heater and could void the heat
pump pool heater warranty. ALWAYS follow the
product manufacturer’s directions when adding any
chemicals to your pool.
DANGER:
Indicates the presence of immediate hazards which will cause severe personal injury, death
or substantial property damage if ignored.
WARNING:
Indicates the presence of hazards or unsafe practices which could cause severe personal
injury, death or substantial property damage if ignored.
CAUTION:
Indicates the presence of hazards or unsafe practices which could cause minor personal
injury or product or property damage if ignored.
NOTE:
Indicates special instructions on installation, operation, or maintenance which are important
but not related to personal injury hazards.
Warnings — Pay Attention to These Terms
This manual, as well as the pool/spa heat pump pool heater itself, contains ANSI-approved product safety signs
and labels. Please read these signs and labels, as they convey important safety information about hazards that
may be potentially present in and around the heat pump pool heater.
CAUTION: Elevated water temperature can be
hazardous. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission has these guidelines:
1. Spa water temperatures should never exceed
104°F (40°C). A temperature of 100°F (38°C)
is considered safe for a healthy adult. Special
caution is suggested for young children.
2. Drinking of alcoholic beverages before or during
spa or hot tub use can cause drowsiness which
could lead to unconsciousness and subsequently
result in drowning.
3. Pregnant Women Beware! Soaking in water over
102°F (39°C) can cause fetal damage during
the first three months of pregnancy resulting in
the birth of a brain-damaged or deformed child.
Pregnant women should stick to the 100°F (38°C)
maximum rule.
4. Before entering the spa or hot tub, users should
check the water temperature with an accurate
thermometer; spa or hot tub thermostats may err
in regulating water temperatures by as much as
4°F (2.2°C).
5. Persons with a medical history of heart disease,
circulatory problems, diabetes, or blood pressure
problems should obtain a physician’s advice
before using pools or hot tubs.
6. Persons taking medications which induce
drowsiness, such as tranquilizers, antihistamines,
or anticoagulants, should not use spas or hot
tubs.
WARNING: These heat pump pool heaters are
charged with R-410A refrigerant. Ensure that all
service work is done with gauges and equipment
suitable for R-410A.
EFFICIENCY TESTING NOTICE: For purposes
of verifying or testing efficiency ratings, the test
procedure in Title 10 APPENDIX P to Subpart B
of Part 430 (Uniform Test Method for Measuring
the Energy Consumption of Pool Heaters) and
the clarifying provisions provided in the AHRI
Operations Manual 1160 that were applicable at
the date of manufacture should be used for test set
up and performance. Charging Chart are available
at https://www.raypak.com/customer-support/heat-
pump-charging-charts. These should only be used
by certified HVAC technicians to check or adjust
refrigerant charge for proper operation.
