EvoHeat Fusion-i Series Manual
5.3 Location Recommendations
Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer.
Evo recommend the heat pump should be installed in an outdoor location with appropriate ventilation. Installing the
heater indoors without adequate ventilation, or in a poorly ventilated enclosed space, will result in very poor
performance and can, in extreme cases, damage the heater. Ensure the heater is installed in a well-ventilated area
with plenty of fresh air.
Evo recommend the heat pump should ONLY be installed in a location with appropriate ventilation.
The Evo pool heat pump should be installed with a minimum clearance of at least 3.5m to the water’s edge.
Furthermore, EvoHeat recommend installing the heat pump no greater than 7.5 meters away from the water’s edge
due to heat loss from the piping.
The heat pump should be installed a maximum of 5m below the water level of the pool/spa.
Make sure the heat pump is not located where large amounts of water may run-off from a roof into the unit. Sharp
sloping roofs without gutters will allow excessive amounts of rain water mixed with debris from the roof to be forced
through the unit. A water deflector may be needed to protect the heat pump.
If installing the heater on an existing pump/filtration system the heater must be installed AFTER the filter and
BEFORE the chlorinator/sanitizer.
The heat pump should be installed on a flat level surface.
In the event that a suitable outdoor location is unavailable please contact Evo Industries for specialist technical
advice ON 1300 859 933.
5.4 Airflow Clearances
The heat pump unit needs continuous fresh air whilst running. The heater draws up to 80m3/min ambient air
through the sides and discharges through the top fan cowl.
Installing the heater indoors or in an enclosed space will result in very poor performance and can in extreme cases
damage the heater. Ensure the heater is installed in a well-ventilated area with plenty of fresh air, a minimum gap
between walls/fences etc of 600mm on the sides and 1500mm overhead clearance.
Leave sufficient space for unobstructed airflow into and out of the heater. Do not locate the heater in an enclosed
area, or the discharged cold air will recirculate into the unit and consequently lower the heating efficiency as well as
possible icing up.
If you do not have a location with these suggested clearances, please contact our EvoHeat Tech Support Specialist to
discuss appropriate installation locations.
