5.3 Airflow Clearances
Ensure the heater is installed in a well-ventilated area with plenty of
fresh air, a minimum gap between walls/fences etc of 600mm on the
sides and 500mm overhead clearance.
Leave sufficient space for unobstructed airflow into and out of the
heater. Do not locate the heater in an enclosed area, or the discharged
cold air will recirculate into the unit and consequently lower the heating
efficiency as well as possibly icing up.
If the installation location does not comply with these suggested
clearances, contact Evo eat’s Tech upport to discuss possible
solutions.
5.4 Adequate Water Flow
All EvoHeat heat pumps have a factory pre-set internal water flow switch. If there is insufficient water flow the unit will
not operate.
It is VITAL that that there is sufficient water flow to the unit. Incorrect water flow can cause a loss of efficiency and
possible damage to the unit. Optimal water flow rates are listed within this manual. It is imperative that water flow is
kept as close as possible to these flow rates.
Before connecting the heater to the plumbing all piping must be thoroughly flushed to ensure no debris can enter the
heater. Failure to remove pipe debris can jam or damage the flow switch and may cause damage to the heater. When
cleaning the pool, it is advisable to turn off your heater as restricted water flow may cause the heater to shut down and
indicate low water flow fault (E03 error) or high pressure fault (E01 Error).
5.5 Rubber Feet
All EvoHeat units are provided with rubber feet which we highly recommend being installed. The rubber feet help
reduce vibration of the unit and provide a space below the heat pump to install the drainage barbs.
5.6 Condensate Drain Barb
Fit the condensate drain barb into the 2 holes under the unit if you need to direct water away
from the heater.
If the barb is too stiff, place it in hot water to soften.
5.7 Drainage & Condensation
During operation, water in the air condenses on the fins of the evaporator. In high humidity, the condensate
may be several litres per hour, giving the impression that the unit is leaking. This process is a normal
function of heat pumps.
The heater will automatically activate reverse cycle or de-icing mode when required which also increases condensate
discharge. This normally occurs at temperatures below 8˚ . The condensate water will discharge through the base of
the heater. As an option, a pipe can be connected to the drain on the base of the unit to direct condensate water to an
appropriate location.

A quick way to verify that the water is condensation is to shut off the unit and keep the pool pump running. If the water stops
running out of the base pan, it is condensation. Another method is to test the drain water for chlorine
– if the is no chlorine
present, then it’s condensation
