- Failure to heed the following may result in equipment damage.
Check water chemistry regularly and maintain within recommended levels as shown in Table 6.
Standards for commercial applications vary in different areas. Follow all local applicable codes.

3.2.b Clearances
Maintain airflow clearances around heat pump for maximum product efficiency. See section entitled
"Positioning Clearances" on page 14 for more information.
3.2.c Water Flow
Water flow through the heat pump may be reduced to a point where internal safety devices will shut off
the heat pump (i.e.: "HP" or "HP5"). Maintain equipment as outlined below to prevent water flow issues:
Operate water filtration devices per manufacturer's specifications. Dirty filters can cause reduced
water flow to the heat pump. The higher the pressure on the filter gauge, the lower the flow rate.
Keep baskets free of debris. Similar to a dirty filter, large amounts of debris in the pump and
skimmer baskets can reduce water flow..
Check for improper valve settings. A partially closed valve after the filter, or a full-open bypass
around the heat pump, will cause insufficient water flow through heat pump.
3.2.d Irrigation and Storm Run-Off
Irrigation water spray can damage heat pump components. Regardless of water quality, it is important
that irrigation be directed away from the heat pump. Prevent rainwater runoff from pouring directly into
the heat pump. The heat pump is designed to withstand normal rainfall, but solid streams of water from
roof drip-lines may eventually damage heat pump components. If the heat pump resides beneath a roof
edge a rain leader (gutter) or rain shield is required.
Stop water flow when refinishing or acid washing pool. Failure to follow these
instructions may damage equipment and voids heat pump warranty.
To avoid damage to equipment, monitor and maintain chemistry within
recommended levels.
