Positioning Your Swimming Pool Heat Pump
2.1 For correct operation air must be free to circulate around the heat pump. Do not place the unit
in a shed, greenhouse or any other similar place. This unit is designed for outdoor use only.
2.2 Refer to the drawing below for required clearance.
2.3 You should position the heat pump correctly so that the control panel does not face directly
towards the sun.
2.4 The heat pump must be upright.
2.5 The distance between the heat pump and the pool / plant room should be as short as practically
possible to reduce pressure and heat loss in the pipe work.
2.6 Insulating the pipe work will assist with the prevention of heat losses.
2.7 An isolator switch should be installed (by a qualified electrician) near the heat pump.
2.8 The electrical supply to the heat pump must be protected by a 30mA RCD.
2.9 The air inlets and outlets must not be obstructed or blocked.
2.10 Even though the heat pump is low noise, it must be positioned so as to be considerate to
neighbors.
2.11 Your heat pump must be placed on a solid base.
2.12 Condensate water will drip from the bottom of the heat pump; your base must be able to
withstand this.

Connecting Your Swimming Pool Pipe Work
3.1 The pool water is fed through the heat pump by a swimming pool pump.
3.2
The heat pump must be installed after (downstream) the swimming pool filter so clean,
filtered water passes through it.
3.3
Double union ball valves must be fitted just before the heat pump inlet and just after
the outlet to aid servicing and winterizing.
3.4
Each heat pump has a maximum water flow rate. If the flow through the pool pump is
higher than this then a by-pass should be installed. Consult your supplying dealer.
3.5
Each heat pump also has a minimum flow rate; the heat pump will not operate with
flow rate lower than that. Consult your supplying dealer.
3.6
Pipe work smaller than 1-
1/2”diameter should not be used.
