INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Location

To gain maximum efficiency for your pool heat pump please follow all instructions
when "positioning the unit". It is also important to allow clearances for future service
and maintenance procedures.
The unit is designed for outdoor installation and should not be installed in a totally
enclosed area such as a shed, garage, etc., unless ducted and fan assisted ventilation
of the cold exhaust air is provided to ensure adequate air exchange for correct
operation. re-circulation of cold discharged air back into the evaporator coil should
be avoided and will greatly reduce unit's heating capacity and efficiency.
The unit should be located as close as practically possible to the existing pool pump
and filter to minimize water piping. The use of 90 degree bends and short radius
elbows in the water piping should be kept to a minimum.
Mount the unit on a sturdy base, preferably a concrete slab or blocks. The base should
be completely isolated from the building foundation or wall to prevent the possibility
of sound or vibration transmission into the building. The size of the base should not
be less than the base of the pool heat pump.
use of anti vibration mat between the base of the unit and final installation location
material is highly recommended to reduce potential vibration noise issues.
Fitting the supplied drainage spigots to the underside of the base must be installed
prior to final installation of the unit.
The unit should be maneuvered into its final position and the anti vibration mounts
(supplied) fitted under each foot. each foot may then be bolted down to the concrete
slab (supplied by other).

Installation Clearances

Air is pulled through the evaporator coil and discharged from the top grill. Clearances
must be allowed in front and around the unit for unrestricted air discharge and
service access. See Figure 1. Failure to comply to the set clearances may cause
diminished unit performance and reduced unit longevity.
No obstruction within 4 metres to
allow cold air dispersal
