Situate the pool heat pump carefully to minimize installation costs while providing maximum
efficiency of operation, and to allow adequate service access, as follows:
• For unrestricted air intake and service access, position each side of the unit at least 1 ft from
walls, pipes and other obstructions.
• The unit is designed for outdoor installation; do NOT install it in an enclosed area such as a
shed or garage, unless ventilation is provided to ensure adequate air exchange for proper
operation. Recirculation of cold discharge air back into the evaporator coil will greatly
reduce the unit’s heating capacity and efficiency.
• This unit feature an ‘up-flow’ discharge for quiet operation. Air is pulled up through the
evaporator coil and discharged through the top grill. Allow at least 8 ft clearance above the
unit for unrestricted air discharge. Do NOT install the unit under a porch or deck.
• To minimize water piping, locate the unit as close as possible to the existing pool pump and
filter.
• When installed in areas where freezing temperatures can be encountered, drain the water
circuit to prevent possible freeze-up damage. See Section VII, Freeze Protection.
