Page 9 of 22 HEATPRO HEAT PUMP HP13023772 Rev: D 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. 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 odd angles. Many sprinkler systems are connected to a ground well system, whose water is high in minerals, sulphur, and other aggressive contaminates that will leave a build up on the evaporator coils causing corrosion and hampering efficiency. If the installed location is within 15 miles of the coast, salt may also be in the well water. Salt contaminated ground well water increases the rate of corrosion and greater care needs to be taken to direct sprinkler water away from the heat pump. NOTICE- If 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, which will void the warranty. You may also consider protecting the unit by planting shrubbery or installing a privacy fence between the unit and the prevailing beachfront wind. NOTICE - Damage caused by sand or salt spray will void the warranty. POOL COVERS ARE STRONGLY RECOMMENDED Using a Pool Cover A pool loses heat in several ways and testing shows that evaporative cooling (the cooling effect created by water evaporating from the surface of the pool) accounts for approximately 75% of a pool's heat loss. However, if a pool is covered when not in use, most evaporative cooling can be prevented. If the pool temperature is to be maintained, the pool heating system must replace the heat lost; therefore the use of a pool cover can offer dramatic savings in energy consumption. A pool cover that reduces evaporative cooling can reduce the heat lost from a pool by approximately 50% (which also reduces your power consumption by 50%).
