 Qualified personnel should perform installation, maintenance and service. 

 Make sure all field wiring conforms to the heater specifications and all national and local  

   codes. 

 Disconnect all power sources before performing any maintenance or service to the heater. 

 

INSPECTION 

Immediately upon receipt, inspect cartons and their contents for damage due to transit.   
Damage, if found, should be noted on delivery papers and a claim filed with the carrier.  Also, 
check unit data plate to make sure you have the proper model, before installing. 

 
GENERAL INFORMATION 

The information in this manual was prepared to assist in the proper installation, operation,  
maintenance and service of your new heat pump pool heater.  Please read the entire manual  
and follow all instructions.  Improper installation and use can result in damage to the heater, 
unsatisfactory operation, and may void the warranty.  Retain this manual for quick reference. 
 
 
 

INSTALLATION 

 

 

When selecting a location consider the following: 

 Heater must be located outdoors. 

 Minimum of 24” of clearance on access / service side of heater. 

 Minimum of 18” of clearance on all three air intake sides of heater. 

 Minimum of 48” of clearance for air discharge (top of unit). 

 The heater should sit on a solid level surface sufficient above grade to prevent water from  

   entering it, and allowing condensate to drain from base. 

 The length of water piping and electric should be kept to a minimum to avoid capacity loss  

   and decreased efficiency.  
  
 
 

WATER FLOW & CONNECTIONS 

 

 

Water connections are made at the rear of the heater.  Both water in and out are labeled just  
above the water connections.  LEFT REAR = WATER IN and RIGHT REAR = WATER OUT.  
2” unions are supplied and are made to accept 2” rigid PVC pipe.  NOTE:  unions can be used  
for quick drainage of your heater and winterizing. 

 Heater must be piped downstream from filter in the pool return line. 

 

Inline chlorinators must be piped downstream from heater.  A check valve must be 

   installed between the heater and chlorinator to prevent drain back of the chlorine when 
   the pump is off.  A chemical trap may also be piped at least six (6) inches above the 
height of the chlorinator.
