Page 8 of 20 Drainage and Condensation HEATPRO HEAT PUMP HP13023770 Rev: E Condensation will be produced by the evaporator coil when the unit is running and drain at a steady rate, usually three to five gallons per hour, depending upon ambient air temperature and humidity. The more humid the conditions, the more condensation will be produced. Keep the drain hole, located at the rear of the bottom pan of the base of the unit, clear of debris. A drain hose/line may be attached to the drain hole in the base pan to help direct drainage away from the unit. NOTICE Make sure there are no sprinkler heads near the heat pump that will spray on or into the unit. Sprinkler damage is not covered under the warranty agreement. Make sure that sprinklers are placed at a sufficient distance away, so that normal wind will not carry the mist to the heat pump. If the filtering system area has plants that need water, use a trickle type irrigation sprinkler instead of the broadcast type The heat pump is designed to handle the wettest weather conditions that are typical of rain and high humidity. Sprinkler heads force high-pressure water into the unit from the side at an odd angle. Many sprinkler systems are connected to a well system, whose water is high in minerals, sulphur and other aggressive contaminates, that will leave a build up on the evaporator coils and electronics causing corrosion and hampering efficiency. If your location is within 15 miles of the coast, salt may also be in the well water. NOTICE - If located in an oceanfront area, the heat pump should be placed out of direct spray of sand and salt. This will clog, damage, and corrode the unit. You may also consider protecting the unit by planting shrubbery or installing a privacy fence between the unit and the prevailing beachfront wind. Damage caused by sand or salt spray is not covered by the warranty. USE ONLY HAYWARD GENUINE REPLACEMENT PARTS Pomona, CA Clemmons, NC Nashville, TN Tel: 908.351.5400 www.haywardpool.com
