Page 6: Installation
Heat Pumps require unobstructed airflow for proper operation. Heat Pumps should never be installed indoors or in a location where airflow is restricted. If an indoor installation is being considered, the installer and dealer are strongly urged to contact the AquaCal Application Department, or a local Professional Engineer prior to proceeding. - Page 7 The shipping brackets used to secure the heat pump to the pallet are approved mounting (hurricane) brackets. They should be used to anchor the heat pump to the pad. If needed, contact AquaCal ® to obtain anchoring kit information. Please have the heat pump model number and serial number when requesting support.
