Clearance
For proper operation and service, ComPak® Vertical, ComPak® Horizontal and RoofComPak® units require 36”
clearance on all sides.
Mounting of ComPak Units
Locate the ComPak® unit on a firm level base. If floor mounting, ensure that the floor is capable of supporting the
operating weight. If wall mounting or hanging a unit, provide a support structure that is capable of supporting
the unit while protecting pool patrons and employees from injury. Ensure that the support structure will not
interfere with the operation of the unit. Provision must be made for servicing units suspended above floor level.
Install isolation pads under the unit to minimize unit transmitted vibration noise.
Inspection
Upon receipt of the ComPak® unit(s), immediately inspect for damage. In particular, inspect the housing and the
evaporator coil face. Minor indentations of the fins will not affect performance. However, if there is substantial
damage, immediately notify shipping company of unseen damage at delivery with a detailed letter outlining the
damage. Retain copies of all shipping damage claim documentation as well as photographs of the observed
damage.
Power Supply
A separate fused disconnect switch must be provided per local codes and be within easy accessibility of the
ComPak® unit. Use the minimum circuit capacity listed on the unit’s data plate to determine the minimum wire
size for incoming electrical power. The ground connection for the unit is located in the unit control panel. The
power supply to the unit must be adequate for the compressor starting amperage (LRA). If it is not, a compressor
rotor stall will occur during start-up due to an excessive voltage drop.
All field wiring must be done according to the wiring diagram provided with the unit and in conformance to the
National Electrical Code (NEC) and any other applicable local electrical code(s). Conduits connected to outdoor
units must be sealed in accordance with NEC 300.7(A).
For Vertical and Horizontal ComPaks, installing contractor must punch a hole into the electrical compartment to
run power wires. The hole is to be properly finished with a rubber grommet and weather sealing.
Control Wiring
All control wiring field connections are described in the wiring diagram furnished with the ComPak® unit as well
as in the Field Wiring section of this manual. All control wiring is low voltage.
Condensate Piping
The condensate may be piped to a drain or returned to the pool if local codes allow. If returned to the pool, the
condensate should be piped to the skimmer. PoolPak
®
LLC recommends neither for, nor against, the practice of
returning condensate to the pool. The overflow drain should be piped in a similar fashion. The installer should
review the local codes prior to making the decision of where to dispose of the condensate. The amount of
condensate produced in a year is about equal to the volume of the pool.

LLC does not ship damaged units from its facility nor
is it responsible for damage incurred during transit.
