NOTE:
Clearances listed in Table 2 are manufacturer’s tested values.
These are given as minimum values. Where local and national codes
apply, and values are different than those listed in Table 2, use the
greater value to ensure safe and proper operation.

General Information
Install the Jandy
®
heat pumps in accordance with the
procedures in this manual, local codes and ordinances,
and in accordance with the latest edition of the
appropriate national code. (See Section 1.4, “Codes and
Standards”.) Correct installation is required to assure
safe operation. The requirements for Jandy heat pumps
include the following:
1. Field assembly (if required).
2. Appropriate site location and clearances.
3. Sufficient air ventilation.
4. Proper electrical wiring.
5. Adequate water flow.
This manual provides the information needed to
meet these requirements. Review all application and
installation procedures completely before continuing the
installation.
2.2
Location Requirements
NOTE
Indoor installations are not recommended. Call
Jandy technical support for more information at
(800) 822-7933.
CAUTION
When pool equipment is located below the pool
surface, a leak from any component can cause
large scale water loss or flooding. Zodiac cannot
be responsible for such water loss or flooding or
resulting damage.
Avoid placing the heat pump in locations where it can
cause damage by water or condensate leakage. If this is
not possible, provide a suitable drain pan to catch and
divert any leakage.
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 proximity to public access areas.
Clearances
The heat pump must be placed to provide clearances on
all sides for maintenance and inspection. See Table 2.
Access in front of the heat pump of 24” (60 cm)
provides adequate room for serviceability.
If the heat pump is to be installed under a vertical
overhang, the unit must have a minimum of 5 feet
(1.5
meters)
clearance from the top of the heat pump.
In the U.S., the heat pump must be installed at least 5 feet
(1.5 meters) from the inside wall of the pool or spa unless the
heat pump is separated from the pool or spa by a 5 foot (1.5
meters) high solid fence or other permanent barrier.
In Canadian installations, the minimum distance to be
maintained from the inside wall of the pool or spa is 3
meters (approx. 10 feet).
Equipment Pad
Place the heat pump on a flat slightly pitched surface,
such as a concrete or fabricated slab (pad). This allows
proper drainage of condensation and rain water 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.
NOTE
Ensure that the pad is pitched not more than
¼ inch per foot per toward the compressor end
(front) of the heat pump. Pitch slab from back to
front ¼ inch per foot maximum and level from
side to side.
Condensation and Drainage
Condensation will occur from the evaporator coil while
the unit is running and drain at a steady rate, usually
3 to 5 gallons (11.4 to 18.9 liters) per hour, depending
upon ambient air temperature and humidity. The more
humid the ambient conditions, the more condensation
will be produced. Keep the drain holes of the base of the
unit clear of debris.
If the heat pump is installed indoors*, means of
condensate disposal must be provided
* Indoor installation requires factory consultation
Lawn Sprinklers
Keep lawn sprinkler heads from spraying on the heat
pump to prevent corrosion and damage. Use a deflector
if needed.
