❶ Installation; I Selecting The Location - Zodiac Z550iQ Instructions For Installation And Use Manual

1.1 I Selecting the location

• When the appliance is installed and protected by a residual current device (RCD) with a
maximum amperage of 30 mA, it should be installed at a distance of at least 2 metres from
the edge of the pool.
• Do not lift the appliance by the body; use its base.
• For outdoor installation, provide free space around it (see § "1.2 I Hydraulic connections").
• For indoor installation, the appliance must be equipped with the technical room kit.
• Place the appliance on its anti-vibration studs (integrated under its base, height adjustable) on a stable, solid and
level surface.
• This surface must be able to bear the weight of the appliance (in particular in the case of installation on a roof, a
balcony or any other support).
The appliance must not be installed:
• With the blowing towards a permanent or temporary obstacle (awning, brushwood, etc.) less than 5 metres away,
• on brackets,
• Within range of water or mud jets, sprays or run-off (take the effect of the wind into account),
• Near a heat source or flammable gas,
• Near high-frequency equipment,
• In a location where it would be subject to snow build-up,
• In a location where it might be flooded by the condensates produced by the appliance when operating.
Tip: to reduce noise produced by your heat pump
• Do not install it under or facing a window.
• Do not tilt it towards your neighbours.
• Install the appliance in an open space (sound waves are reflected on surfaces).
• Install an acoustic screen around the heat pump, respecting the distances.
• Install 50cm of flexible PVC pipe at the heat pump water inlet and outlet (to stop vibrations).
• "ECOSILENCE" mode reduces the sound level and improves the appliance's COP. However, we recommend
using this mode simply to "maintain temperature" and increasing the filtration time by about 50%.
