OWNER/INSTALLATION MANUAL
3�0 INSTALLATION
Installation must only be attempted by competent
personnel.
3�1 POSITIONING AND AIRFLOW
The heat pump should be located in an open
space with the maximum possible distance in all
directions to any obstructions. The heat pump should
not be covered by any structure or awning.
The heat pump works by absorbing energy from air
passing through it so any restriction in the air flow will
reduce performance.
An obstruction is an object such as a wall, fence,
hedge or anything similar which may restrict the free
movement of air.
Obstructions can also cause exhaust air leaving the
heat pump to be sucked back into the heat pump
which will reduce performance.
Locating the heat pump near any obstructions should
be avoided if possible however if it is enclosed on up
to two sides by obstructions at the minimum distances
then the heat pump should perform as expected.
If the heat pump is enclosed on more than two sides
by obstructions at the minimum distances then the
performance will be reduced.
If there are obstructions closer to the heat pump than
the minimum distances then the performance will be
significantly reduced.
A reduction in performance will result in longer pool
heat up times, the pool not reaching the desired
temperture and excess energy costs.
The diagrams show the minimum allowable mandatary
distances between the heat pump and any potential
obstuctions.
10
The heat pump should be fixed by M10 bolts to a level
concrete base or to solid mounting brackets which are
securely fixed. Fixings [including any brackets] must be
corrosion proof. Ensure the condensate connection is
made prior to securing the heat pump.
Airflow - general principles
• The heat pump absorbs energy from the air drawn
through it. To function effectively the heat pump
must have access to the fresh air it needs.
• Air must not recirculate. The air leaving the heat
pump must not be sucked back into the inlet.
• Air must not be restricted. The air volume must not
be reduced.
• The minimum required distances shown must be
provided to minimise the risk of air recirculation or
restriction and reduction in performance. Examples
are shown on the following page.
