In the winter months when the temperatures drop below +3 °C, a shut-down heat pump
must be winterised to avoid any frost damage.
Winterising in 4 steps
Step 1
Disconnect the heat pump from the power supply.
Step 2
Open the bypass valve. Close the inlet and outlet
valves.
Step 3
Unscrew the drain plug and water pipes in order to
drain all the water.
Step 4
Screw back the drain plug and the two pipes or block them
with rags in order to prevent any foreign matter from getting
into the circuit. Finally, protect the pump with its winter
storage cover.
If a circulation pump is servo-controlled by the heat pump, drain this also.
