Swimming pool Heat Pump

3.Installation

The factory only provides the heat pump unit; the other items including an eventual bypass, in the
are necessary parts for the water system, provided by users or the installers.
Attention:
Please follow these steps when installing the heat pump:
1. All feeding of chemicals to the pool water has to be done downstream of the heat pump.
2. Install a bypass when the flow of the pool pump is more than 20% above the rated flow of the heat exchanger
of the heat pump.
3. Install the heat pump above the level of the pool water.
4. Install the heat pump on a solid foundation and use the damping rubbers to eliminate vibrations and noise.
5. Always keep the unit straight up. If the unit has been tilted or put on his side, allow 24h before starting the unit.

3.1 Heat pump location

The unit may be installed virtually anywhere outdoors. For indoor pools please consult your suppliers.
DO NOT put the unit in an enclosed area with a limited air volume where the unit discharge air will be re-circulated.
DO NOT put the unit next to shrubs, which can block the air inlet, Such locations deny a continuous source of fresh
air, which reduce its efficiency and may prevent adequate heat delivery.
The picture below give the minimum required distances from each side of the heat pump.
