ECO+ series swimming pool heat pumps
3. Installation and connections
3.1 Remarks
The box contains the heat pump, 2 water connections and this manual. Other parts, including a by-pass
must be provided by the user/installer.
Attention:
Please follow these steps when installing the heat pump:
1.
All feeding of chemicals to the pool water has to be done
downstream
of the heat pump.
2.
Always keep the unit straight up. If the unit has been tilted or put on his side, allow 24h
before starting the unit.
3.
The unit must always be installed outdoors.
3.2 Heat pump location
The unit will always perform very well, provided the following elements are present:
1. Fresh air - 2. Electricity - 3. Swimming pool filter pipes
The unit may be installed virtually anywhere
outdoors
when minimal distance to other objects is
respected.
3.3 How close to the pool?
Install the heat pump as close to the swimming pool as possible to minimize the loss of heat through
the piping but stay minimum 2 meters away from the pool. Put it on a solid base. Keep the length of
the piping as short as possible to limit heat loss. Insulating the piping will be useful.
Attention:
Do not install the heat pump in a closed room to prevent the intake of the cold exhaust air. Do not
put it close to garden plants; they could block the intake of fresh air.
Blocking the air intake will cause insufficient operation and will result in lower production of heat.
Please check the drawing on paragraph 3.4 for
minimum
distances.
