ENVISION POOL HEATER INSTALLATION MANUAL
Safety Considerations
Qualified personnel should perform installation,
•
maintenance, and service.
Make sure all field wiring conforms to the heater
•
specifications and all national and local codes.
Disconnect all power sources before performing any
•
maintenance or service to the heater.
Inspection
Immediately upon receipt, inspect cartons and their
contents for damage due to transit. Damage, if found,
should be noted on delivery papers and a claim filed with
the carrier. Also, check unit data plate to make sure you
have the proper model, before installing.
Pool Heater
General Information
You now own one of the most efficient and versatile pool
heaters on the market today. Your heat pump pool heater
will typically operate with a Coefficient of Performance
(COP) of 3.0 to over 5.0 depending on the operating
conditions. This means that your heater can supply 3-5
times as much heat to the pool as it consumes in electrical
power. In addition, it will still warm your pool even as
outdoor temperatures drop into the 40s.
The information in this manual was prepared to assist in
the proper installation, operation, maintenance, and service
of your new heat pump pool heater. Please read the entire
manual and follow all instructions. Improper installation
and use can result in damage to the heater, unsatisfactory
operation, and may void the warranty. Retain this manual
for quick reference.
Installation
When selecting a location consider the following:
Heater must be located outdoors (
•
NOTE:
The pool heater
will operate with a noise level of around 65 dbA.)
Minimum of 24 in. of clearance on access/service side of
•
heater
Minimum of 18 in. of clearance on all three air intake sides
•
of heater
Minimum of 48 in. of clearance for air discharge (top of
•
unit)
The heater should sit on a solid level surface sufficient
•
above grade to prevent water from entering it, and
allowing condensate to drain from base.
The length of water piping and electric should be kept
•
to a minimum to avoid capacity loss and decreased
efficiency.
The AC-1750B can produce 85,000 – 165,000 Btu/hr for
your pool heating needs depending upon the operating
conditions. At AHRI conditions of 80°F entering water
temperature (EWT) and 80/71°F dry bulb/wet bulb
entering air temperature (EAT) a COP of over 5 is possible
with an output of over 120,000 Btu/hr.
