Installation Instructions Location The placement of the pool heater is very important in keeping installation costs to a minimum while providing for maximum efficiency of operation, as well as allowing adequate access for service and maintenance. The pool heat pump is designed for outdoor installation and should not be installed in a fully enclosed area, such as a shed, garage, etc. Recirculation of cold discharged air back into the evaporator coil will greatly reduce unit heating capacity and efficiency. The unit should be located as close as practical to the existing pool pump and filter to minimize water piping. However, do not forget to provide a 24"clearance at the very least all around your heat pump. The use of 90 degree bends and short radius elbows in the water piping should be kept to a minimum. Mount the unit on a sturdy base, preferably a concrete slab or a set of blocks. The base should be completely isolated from the building foundation wall to prevent the possibility of sound or vibration transmission into the building. The size of the base should not be less than 36" x 36" (92 cm x 92 cm). ? IMPORTANT Air is pulled through the evaporator coil and discharged through the top grille. A minimum clearance of 72 inches should be allowed above the unit for unrestricted air discharge. The unit must not be installed under a porch. Any side of the unit should be located at least 24 inches from a 24" wall or from any other obstruction for unrestricted air intake and service access. 72" 24" 24" Service access 24" to 36" 6 OWNER'S MANUAL
