Initial Start-up Precautions

Be sure that there is water in the pool and that the
surface level is above the skimmer or other inlet of the
pool's filter system.
With any new pool or spa installation, operate
the filter pump with the heat pump off long enough
to completely clean the water. This will remove any
installation residue from the water.

Figure 18 Main Control Panel

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.
5.2

Operating the Controller

Your new AE-Ti heat pump is controlled by an
advanced microprocessor based controller that provides
a sophisticated yet simple interface to operate your heat
pump for maximum efficiency and enjoyment of your
pool. To locate the control buttons, see Figure 18.
