ments. Perform the following steps to completely drain
the heat pump (see Figure 15).
1. Turn off the electrical power to the heat pump at
the main breaker panel.
2. Shut off the water supply to the heat pump.
3. Disconnect the water inlet and outlet unions as
well as the winterizing drain plug (if applicable)
located on the lower front panel of the heat pump.
The heat exchanger will drain through these water
connections.
4. Cover only the top of the heat pump to prevent
debris from falling into the unit. Do not wrap the
sides of the heat pump with any plastic or other
material that will retain heat or moisture inside
the unit.

spring start-up

If your heat pump has been winterized, perform the
following steps when starting the system in the Spring:
1. Uncover the heat pump and inspect the top and
sides for any debris or structural problems.
2. Connect the water inlet and outlet unions located
on the lower front panel of the heat pump.
3. Turn on the filter pump to supply water to the
heat pump. Circulate water through the system long enough to cycle all of the pool water through
the filter. Check for leaks in and around the heat
pump.
4. Check the pool chemistry and balance as
necessary.
5. Turn on the electrical power to the heat pump at
the main breaker panel.

inspection and service

Zodiac heat pumps are designed and constructed
®
to provide long performance life when installed and
operated properly under normal conditions. Periodic
inspections are important to keep your heat pump
running safely and efficiently through the years.

Caution
Do not use this heat pump if any part has been
under water. Immediately call a qualified service
technician to inspect the heater and replace any
part of the control system which has been under
water.

Jandy Pro Series JE Heat Pumps
Zodiac recommends that you inspect your heat pump
on a regular basis and especially after abnormal weather
conditions. The following basic guidelines are suggest-
ed for your inspection:
1. Keep the top and surrounding areas of the heat
pump clear of all debris.
2. Keep all plants and shrubs trimmed and away from
the heat pump.
The heat pump will produce condensation (water) while
in operation. The heat pump base is designed to allow
the condensation to exit through the bottom drain port
when the unit is running. The condensation will increase
as the outdoor air humidity level increases. Check
the following at regular intervals to ensure proper
condensate drainage:
1. Visually inspect and clear the bottom drain ports
of any debris that could clog the ports.
2. Ensure that condensate water does not puddle
inside the heat pump
3. Ensure that condensate run-off is properly directed
away from the equipment pad to keep it from
undermining the pad.
During normal operation, the heat pump produces
3 to 5 gallons of condensate per hour. If condensate
drainage is above this range during operation or if water
continues to drain from the base when the heat pump
is not in operation for more than an hour, a leak in the
internal plumbing may have occurred. Call a qualified
heat pump technician to investigate the problem.
Keep the top air flow discharge and air flow intake area
clear of debris so the air flow though the heat pump
is not restricted. The cooler discharge air from the top
should not accumulate and be drawn into the side air
intake coils. Keep all plants and shrubs trimmed away
from the heat pump.
Make sure the front of the unit is accessible for future
service.
Keep lawn sprinkler heads from spraying on the heat
pump to prevent corrosion and damage. Use a deflector
if needed.
If the unit is installed under a very sharp roof pitch or
under a roof without a gutter, a gutter or diverter should
be fitted to prevent excessive water from pouring down
into the unit.
Inspections performed at least once a year by a qualified
technician are required to maintain your heat pump's
safe and efficient operation. The following basic safety
checks must be performed.
1 Check for loose or broken wires and terminal
connections.
2. Verify the pressure switch or flow switch
operation. Turn the heat pump OFF. Disconnect
the power to the pump time clock, or turn the pump time clock to an OFF position. Turn the heat
pump back ON. The heat pump must not come on.
