WARNING: This unit is designed for outdoor
A
installation. It is NOT certified for indoor installation.
DO NOT install it in an enclosed area such as a shed or
garage, or under a porch or deck.
Recirculation of cold discharge air back into the
evaporator coil will greatly reduce the unit's heating
capacity and efficiency.
This unit features an 'up-flow' discharge for quiet
operation. Air is pulled up through the evaporator coil
and discharged through the top grill. Allow at least 5
ft (1.5 m) clearance above the unit for unrestricted air
discharge. Do NOT install the unit under a porch or
deck. Refer to Figure 1.
To minimize water piping, locate the unit as close as
possible to the existing pool pump and filter.
If the location of the heater is below the water line of
the pool, the water pressure switch might need to be
adjusted or an external water flow switch might be
needed.

Installation Clearances
Irrigation water should be directed away from the
heater-water spray can damage the heat pump pool
heater.
Rain water run off – the heater can withstand normal
rain. Install rain gutters to prevent direct steams of
rain water to the heater.
It is important to keep the area next to the heater
clear of shrubs, bushes and chemicals containers.
They could prevent air from circulating fully through
the heater, and will affect the operation of the heater
or damage the heater.
When installed in areas where freezing temperatures
can be encountered, drain the water circuit to prevent
possible freeze-up damage. See "Freeze Protection"
on page 10.
For high wind installation requirements, refer to
Figure 2.
