    Aquacal Heat Pump

    Hi All, just got an Aquacal Heat pump. Is it normal for it to pool water around it? I understand it condensates but it seems like there's a steady stream from one of the holes. https://youtube.com/shorts/6Aefz4z4YNw?feature=share It does not seem to have a stream of water when it's off...

    AquaCal fitting for hose that goes to pressure switch

    Hello TFP! I have an AquaCal heat pump that has never worked in the 2 years I've owned the house/pool. This weekend it started leaking and I don't have a bypass installed. It looks like there is a fitting in the "in" side of the PVC that goes to the pressure switch. That fitting is what...

    Hello TFP! I have an Aquacal heatwave Icebreaker 5302b heat pump for the pool. I haven't gotten it to work the entire year I've been at this house and I'm hoping to get it working so I can extend this season. The issue is that simple, when I turn it on and it starts heating (or cooling)...

    Intellicenter Heat Pump Automation

    Hello all! I recently had an AquaCal SQ225 Heat pump installed... I asked the installer about connecting it to my Intellicenter and he didn't know if it could be done.

    Pentair EasyTouch "NO COMM"

    I just replaced a circuit breaker and then powered-up my 9-year-old AquaCal SuperQuiet pool heater, and now the heater will not start-up. The heater display board gives a CEr indicator (communication problem). Likewise, my 9-year-old Pentair EasyTouch remote control system in the house now...
