Heat Pump Pool / Spa Heater Owner's Manual Installation Specifications Receipt Inspection of Unit Inspect the heat pump pool heater carton upon receipt for possible damage in shipment. Check the "Tip-n-Tell" indicator attached to the outside of the box. A punctured or oil-soaked area of the carton could indicate damage to the sealed refrigeration system. If damage has been incurred or is suspected, bring it to the immediate attention of the delivering carrier. The carton bears specific warnings stating "DO NOT DROP OR TAILGATE", as well as arrows indicating the correct vertical positioning. THE POOL HEATER MUST NOT BE TIPPED OR TRANSPORTED ON ITS SIDE AS EVAPORATOR "OIL LOGGING" MAY OCCUR. Upon arrival at the installation site, the unit should be carefully unpacked and again inspection for any damage that may have occurred in transit. Minor indentations to the aluminum evaporator fins will not affect performance of the unit. THE MANUFACTURER CANNOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR DAMAGE INCURRED OR REPAIRS NECESSITATED DUE TO IMPROPER HANDLING OF OUR EQUIPMENT. Determining Optimum Location THE LOCATION OF THE HEAT PUMP POOL HEATER IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR EFFICIENT OPERATION. In order of importance, the installer must consider the following conditions: o The heat pump will perform more efficiently when placed in direct sunlight. o Ample air intake o Avoidance of air recirculation o Accessibility of service panels o Means of draining condenser in freezing weather (such as union-style fittings) o Means of draining condenser and rainwater. Insulation of long water lines (over 25 ft.) from heater to pool. The installation of the unit in a fully enclosed area (i.e. garage, shed, etc.) is not recommended.
