Clearance A minimum of two feet of clearance from walls, shrubbery, equipment, etc. is required around the entire pump circumference. This allows for ample air intake. No less than 6 feet clearance above the heat pump is required to prevent re-circulation of air. We recommend not placing the unit underneath eaves, decks, or porches, as this causes recirculation of discharged air. RECIRCULATION OF DISCHARGED AIR BACK INTO THE PUMP WILL GREATLY REDUCE ITS EFFICIENCY. 6 ft 2 ft 2 ft Level Placement The heater should be located on a solid, level surface. The pool heater is exceptionally quite, but if further noise reduction is desired, the heat pump may be placed on vibration absorbent pads, which are available from most airconditioning and refrigeration wholesalers. Drainage Condensation drain holes are provided in all base pans for adequate removal of condensation and rainwater. Keep the drain holes unobstructed. Clean them regularly (with your finger or a short stick) to remove any debris that may block them. HEAT PUMPS GENERATE WATER CONDENSATION DURING NORMAL OPERATION. THIS SHOULD NOT BE MISTAKEN FOR A LEAK IN THE UNIT. The troubleshooting section provides recommendations should you suspect a leak. 10
