Installation And Location - Pentair UltraTemp 140C Heat Pump

2

INSTALLATION AND LOCATION

When pool equipment is located below the pool surface, a leak from any component can cause large scale water loss or flooding.
Pentair Water Pool and Spa, Inc. cannot be responsible for such water loss or flooding which may cause damage to the product.
Avoid placing the heat pump in locations where it can cause damage by water or condensate leakage. If this is not possible, provide
a suitable drain pan to catch and divert any leakage.
Only a qualified service person should install the
UltraTemp Heat Pump. Before installing this product,
®
refer to the Important Warning and Safety Instructions
on page ii.
Materials Needed for Installation
The following items are needed and are to be supplied
by the installer for all heat pump installations:
1. Plumbing connections (2 inch).
2. Level surface for proper drainage.
3. Suitable electrical supply line. See rating plate on
unit for electrical specifications. A junction box is not
needed at the heat pump; connections are made
inside of the heat pump electrical compartment.
Conduit may be attached directly to the heat pump
jacket.
4. Electric cutout switch that will interrupt all power to
the unit. This switch must be within line of sight of
the heat pump. Check local codes for requirements.
5. Watertight conduit to run the electrical supply line.
Equipment Pad
For proper drainage of condensation and rain water,
place the heat pump on a flat slightly pitched surface,
such as a concrete or fabricated slab (pad).
If possible, place the pad at the same level or slightly
higher than the filter system equipment pad.
Note: Be sure that the pad is pitched not more than 1/4
in. per foot in any direction as needed for runoff.

Drainage and Condensation
Condensation occurs from the evaporator coil while the
unit is running, and drains at a steady rate (usually three
to five gallons per hour), depending upon ambient air
temperature and humidity. The more humid the ambient
conditions, the more condensation will be produced.
The bottom of the unit acts as a tray to catch rainwater
and condensation. Keep the drain holes, located on the
bottom pan of the base of the unit, clear of debris.
Roof Run-off
Make sure the heat pump is not located where large
amounts of water may run-off from a roof into the unit.
Sharp sloping roofs without gutters will allow massive
amounts of rain water, mixed with debris from the roof
to be forced through the unit. A gutter or down spout
may be needed to protect the heat pump.
Lawn Sprinklers
Avoid placing lawn sprinkler near the heater -
they can spray water into the heater and void the
warranty. Be sure to direct any spraying water away
from the heater. Note the wind direction to be sure
water from sprinklers is not blown toward the heater.
Sprinkler heads can produce high water pressure and
spray at an angle, different from typical rain and humid
weather. Also, sprinklers connected to a well water
system can cause mineral build up on the evaporator
coils and electronics. Salt water can also be an issue if
located near the coast.
