Corrosion-Proof Cabinet
The cabinet, being made from resilient, UV-Protected ABS material, can never rust, fade
or corrode. You can expect the cabinet to retain a like-new appearance with only an
occasional wash down and—if so desired—a quick waxing.

SAFE OPERATION, AND THE CARE OF YOUR NEW HEAT PUMP.
Important Features of Your
New Heat Pump
Heat & Cool Capability*
Puts you in full control, year round... Warms your pool or spa with the reliability and
efficiency of our other heat pumps, but, with the flip of a switch, can also cool your pool
or spa to refreshing temperatures during the hot summer months. For cooler climates,
Icebreaker ® heat pumps offer unique advantages over passive defrost models. Please
read more below...
Hot Gas Defrost*
Your Icebreaker ® heat pump is uniquely equipped for active defrost. Active defrost in-
volves directing hot refrigerant gas to the heat collector, melting accumulated ice away
in a matter of a few minutes—then right back to heating. Standard heat pumps may
remain “off in defrost” for extended periods during very cold weather. Because of its
ability to continue to operate–even during freezing weather–your Icebreaker ® extends
the swimming season longer than any other heat pump.
Scroll Compressor
50% fewer moving parts than standard piston-type compressors. This equates to much
improved reliability and improved efficiency. Scroll compressors are also much quieter in
operation than their piston-type counterparts.

Icebreaker ® Models Only
ThermoLink ® Heat Exchanger
The heart of your heat pump is the patented ThermoLink ® heat exchanger. The primary
cause of premature heat pump demise is the failure of the heat exchanger. Ordinary
heat exchangers are made from a cupronickel alloy. This cupronickel material is susceptible
to attack from the sanitizers used in pools and spas, and from other related water
chemistry conditions. Once the heat exchanger fails, the heat pump is ruined. The
ThermoLink ® heat exchanger tube is made from titanium, and is virtually impervious to
water chemistry damage.
Digital Controller
Digitally-based microprocessor controls water temperature to within 1º Fahrenheit of
set point. Controller also permits user to predefine different pool and spa water temper-
atures, and to prevent tampering by locking out controls via a pass code.
