  • Page 7: Positioning Equipment

    1.1 Positioning Equipment Failure to heed the following may result in damage to equipment. NOTICE Do not install equipment inside of a building. Outdoor Use Only Do not install equipment inside of a room or building. Heat Pumps require unobstructed airflow for proper operation. Heat Pumps should never be installed indoors or in a location where airflow is restricted.
  • Page 8: Clearances

    1.2 Clearances Proper air circulation is required for the heat pump to operate efficiently. The following diagrams show the minimum clearances required for the proper operation of the heat pump. Avoid storing chemical containers near the heat pump. The chemicals can cause equipment damage. Avoid placing objects near or on top of the heat pump.

  • Page 17 flow rates. This requires the filter to be cleaned or back-washed. Keep baskets free of debris. A large quantity of debris in the pump and skimmer baskets can reduce water flow. Check for improper valve settings. A partially closed valve after the filter, or a full-open bypass around the heat pump, will cause insufficient water flow through the heat pump.
  • Page 18: Adjusting Water Flow Using Δt (Delta-T)

    1.4.f Adjusting Water Flow Using ΔT (Delta-T) The Delta-T is the temperature difference between the water temperatures entering and leaving the heat pump. The equipment can be fine-tuned for maximum performance by balancing water flow rates to maintain an ideal ∆T. The adjustment procedure must be completed with the unit in heating mode.
