Protecting devices and cable specification
1.
Always install the machine outdoors, while respecting the minimal clearances needed for proper
operation and heating. DO NOT place the unit next to shrubs, fences, etc. which can block the air
inlet. These locations impede the unit a continuous source of fresh air which reduces its efficiency
and may prevent adequate heat delivery.
2.
Mount the unit on a sturdy and level base, preferably a concrete slab. The base should be
completely isolated from the building foundation wall to prevent the possibility of sound or vibration
transmission into the building
.
3.
The pool heat pump is designed for outdoor installation only and should not be installed in a fully
enclosed area, such as a shed, garage, etc. Recirculation of cold discharged air back into the
evaporator coil will greatly reduce unit heating capacity and efficiency.
Air is pulled through the
evaporator coil and discharged through the side grille. A minimum clearance
of 98 inches should be
allowed on the air outlet side for unrestricted air discharge. The unit must not
be installed under a
porch. Any other side of the unit should be located at least 28 inches from a wall
or from any other
obstruction for unrestricted air intake and service access.

Installation Instruction and Requirements:
All electrical connections must be performed by a qualified electrician and according to national and
local electrical codes. We have provided important safety messages in this manual and on your heat
pump. Always read and obey all safety warnings. Heat Pumps must be installed in accordance with
all applicable National and Local codes. In the absence of local codes, refer to the latest edition of the
Canadian Electrical Code (CEC).
