Placement / Clearances
All criteria given in the following sections reflect minimum clearances. However, each installation must also be
evaluated, taking into account the prevailing local conditions such as proximity and height of walls and public
access areas.
The heat pump must be placed to provide clearances on all sides for maintenance and inspections.
1.
A minimum of 24 in [61 cm] of clearance on all sides.
2.
If the heat pump is to be installed under a cover or vertical overhang, the unit must have a minimum of
72 in. [183 cm] of clearance from the top of the heat pump to the bottom of the cover or overhang.
3.
Install the heat pump a minimum of 60 in. [1.5 m] from the inside wall of the pool, spa, solid fence, or
permanent barrier. Canadian installations require a minimum of 120 in. [3 m] of clearance from pool
water.
CAUTION
-
Make sure the heat pump is not located where large amounts of water may run-off from the
roof into the unit. Sharp sloping roofs without gutters will allow massive amounts of rainwater, mixed with
debris from the roof to be forced through the unit (see above diagram). Failure to follow the instructions may
result in property damage and a voided warranty.
NOTE:
A gutter or down spout may need to be installed to protect the heat pump.
Equipment Pad
Place the heat pump on a level surface such as concrete or a fabricated slab (pad). This allows proper drainage
of condensation and rainwater from the base of the unit. If possible, the pad should be placed at the same level
or slightly higher than the filter system equipment pad.
