ambient temperature is below 50°F (38°F
for all other units with a Digital Control
Board), which is too low for the heater to
operate, or the unit is low on refrigerant.
Once the outside temperature has risen
above 60ºF, and the LP code remains, call
the factory for repair.
PSd: This code means there is a pool sensor
defect. Please call to arrange service for
the heat pump.
DSd: This code means there is a defrost
sensor defect. Please call to arrange
service for the heat pump.
LP3: This is like the “LP” described
above, however the unit has shut
down because this fault has happened
3 times within a 24 hour time period.
If the ambient temperature is below
50°F (38°F for all other units with a
digital control board), the problem will
most likely persist until the ambient air
temperature rises above 50°F. Pressing
any of the buttons on the front control
panel will restore the unit to its normal
operating mode. If the ambient air
temperature is not the issue and the
heat pump continues to display “LP” or
“LP3”, please call to arrange service for
the heat pump.
HP3: This is like the “HP” described
above, however the unit has shut down
because this fault has happened 3 times
within a 24 hour time period. Please
check your pool’s plumbing, valves and
pump / filter system for blockages or
flow restrictions, as this is most likely
the cause for the fault. Pressing any
of the buttons on the front control
panel will restore the unit to its normal
operating mode. If your pump and
filter system is working normally and
there are no flow restrictions and the
heat pump continues to display “HP”
or “HP3”, please call to arrange service
for the heat pump. Please note, we will
not be responsible for non-warranted
service calls.
FS: This code has the following
sequence:

started the defrost cycle and will
reverse operation for 2 minutes. If
unit is at acceptable temperature
after the defrost cycle, it will go back
into heating mode.
t *GDPPMBOUUFNQFSBUVSFJTTUJMMUPP
low after the initial 2 minute
defrost cycle, unit will shut off the
compressor and run only the fan for
60 minutes. If unit is at acceptable
temperature after the 60 minutes, it
will go back into heating mode.
t *GDPPMBOUIBTOPUSFBDIFEUIFEFTJSFE
temperature after the 60 minutes,
fan only mode, unit will shut down
and display “FS”.
t 6OJUXJMMSFTVNFOPSNBMPQFSBUJPO
after ambient temperature reaches
acceptable operating temperature.
MODEL: )$ FS: If in “cooling-
mode”, this may indicate that there is not
enough water flow.
COL: This code reminds you that the
unit is running in the cooling mode.
LP: If in “cooling mode”, this code may
indicate that there is not enough water
flow
HP: If in “cooling mode”, this code may
indicate that an external coil is blocked
or that there is recirculated air.
HOT: This means the pool temperature has
increased by 2° while the unit is operating
in the “COL” mode. This is only a warning
that the unit is having difficulty cooling
the pool to the desired temperature. The
“HOT” message will remain until either
the pool drops to the desired temperature
or the set “COL” temperature is raised
above the pool’s current temperature.
MODELS: Series,

FL3: This code means that water flow
was lost. Check the system for flow
obstructions.
