SELECTING THE LOCATION

The area you choose for your pool heat pump is very important. You must consider the following.

Air Supply and Accessibility

Your heat pump uses the surrounding air to work. It is very important that you make sure there is enough air circulation
around the heat pump. Do not install the heat pump in a closed space like a garden shed, a garage or a basement.
The table below indicates the minimum distance from the heat pump that any object should be located.
(1) facing the coil surfaces
(2) facing other surfaces
(3) facing fan*
(4) facing service panel
IMPORTANT: Your heat pump must have sufficient clearance to properly function!

Other Recommendations

Do not install the heat pump under the overhang of a roof where rain or snow will accumulate on the heat pump.
Also, avoid having the digital control facing the sun.This will make the display difficult to read.
The pool heat pump must be installed on a firm and leveled surface, preferably on a concrete slab or something
equivalent.
Keep in mind that the heat pump will cause condensation, therefore water will be dripping from the heat pump.
Check local codes
Check your local building and electrical codes concerning installation and location of your heat pump.
* Objects should be placed as far as possible from
where the air is discharged.
