Installation Installation Only a qualified service person should install the Ecoclear® Heat Pump. Before installing this product, refer to the Important Warning and Safety Instructions on page 4. Materials Needed for Installation The following items are needed and are to be supplied by the installer for all heat pump installations: 1.
Page 10: Location And Clearances
Installation Location and Clearances All criteria given in the following sections reflect minimum clearances. However, each installation must also be evaluated, taking into account the prevailing local conditions such as proximity and height of walls, and proximity to public access areas. The Ecoclear® Heat Pump must be placed to provide clearances on all sides for maintenance and inspection.

Installation Anchor Clamp Installation (Continued) 4. Mark the position of the hole in each clamp on the equipment pad. 5. Use a masonry drill bit and drill a hole in the cement with a diameter as determined by the concrete anchor, at each of the marks on the equipment pad. The hole should be approximately 40mm deep.
Page 12: Plumbing Connections - Standard
Note: Be advised that when pool equipment is located below the pool surface a leak can re- sult in large-scale water loss or flooding. Maytronics is not responsible for such water loss or flooding or damage.
Page 13: Plumbing Connections - Separate Circulation System
Installation Plumbing Connections - Separate Circulation System The Ecoclear® Inverter Heat Pump can also be connected on plumbing separate to the main filtration system. In this configuration the pump will take water from separate pool outlets and flow directly into the heat pump. A filter is not essential in this configuration, however it may be required in circumstances where there is large debris in the water, or poor water quality, which could cause blockages in the heat pump.
Page 14: Multiple Heater Type Installation
Installation Multiple Heater Type Installation The Maytronics Ecoclear® heat pump may be used in conjunction with a gas or electric heater or any combination of heat sources including solar. When using multiple heater types, all heat sources should be plumbed in series to work correctly and efficiently. A recommended plumb- ing layout for a heat pump / heater / solar combination heating system for a pool / spa com- bination is shown below.
Page 15: Electrical Connections
Installation Electrical Connections General Information Wiring connections must be made exactly as shown in the wiring diagram found on the inside of the heat pump access panel; see the wiring diagrams on page 35. The Ecoclear® Inverter Heat Pump must include a definite means of grounding and bonding. There is a ground lug inside the heat pump electrical compartment.
