Installation Instructions
Location
The placement of the pool heater is very important in keeping installation
costs to a minimum while providing for maximum efficiency of operation, as
well as allowing adequate access for service and maintenance.
The THERmEAu pool heat pump is designed for outdoor installation and
should not be installed in a fully enclosed area, such as a shed, garage, etc.,
unless ventilation is provided to ensure adequate air exchange for proper
operation. Recirculation of cold discharged air back into the evaporator coil
will greatly reduce unit heating capacity and efficiency.
The unit should be located as close as practical to the existing pool pump and
filter to minimize water piping. However, do not forget to provide a 18” clear-
ance at the very least all around your heat pump.
mount the unit on a sturdy base, preferably a concrete slab or a set of blocks.
The size of the base should not be less than 40” x 40” (100 cm x 100 cm).
All THERmEAu pool heat pump models feature patented, ultrasilent ventilation
systems. Air is pulled through the evaporator coil and discharged through the
top grille. A minimum clearance of 48 inches should be allowed above the unit
for unrestricted air discharge. The unit must not be installed under a porch. Any
side of the unit should be located at least 24 inches from a wall or from any
other obstruction for unrestricted air intake and service access.
