Irrigation, Rainwater Runoff, and Landscape Features
Place the heat pump away from rain runoff from the roof. A gutter or rain shield may be required on the roof
edge above the heat pump.
Relocate or adjust irrigation to avoid water spray directly onto the heat pump. Do not locate plant shrubs or
bushes directly adjacent to heat pumps. Doing so will prevent proper air circulation into the unit, and may inhibit
access to the heater when service is needed. Consult drawings above for proper clearances.
The equipment pad should be constructed to provide adequate drainage and support to the base of the heat
pump (see Table below). The pad should be essentially level with just enough pitch to drain condensate and
any other water away from the heater.
Follow all relevant local, state, or national requirements regarding wind load anchoring (use huricane anchoring
kit, part #STK0010). As necessary, contact AquaCal Technical Support, 800-786-7751, for assistance in
determining best method of compliance.
