Location of Installation and
Airflow Clearance
Before installation it is very important to ensure these five variables are carefully checked to allow the unit
to operate correctly.
1. Heater condition 2. Clearances & air flow 3. Location
4. Adequate water flow & plumbing 5. Correct electrical connection & supply
To ensure optimal performance and prevent potential
damage, the heat pump unit requires continuous fresh air
while running.
The heater, which draws up to 80m3/min of ambient air
through the sides and discharges it through the top fan
cowl, must not be installed indoors or in an enclosed
space without adequate ventilation. Doing so can result
in poor performance, and in extreme cases, damage to
the heater.
Locating the heater in an enclosed area will cause
discharged cold air to recirculate into the unit, lowering
heating efficiency and potentially causing icing up.
•
Heat Pumps should ONLY be installed in an outdoor location with appropriate ventilation.
•
Ensure the heater is installed in a well-ventilated area with plenty of fresh air.
•
Leave sufficient space for unobstructed airflow into and out of the heater.
• At least 3.5m away from the water’s edge.
• No greater than 7.5m from the water’s edge (to avoid heat loss from the piping).
•
No greater than 5.0m below the water level of the pool/spa.
•
Ensure the heat pump is not installed close to harsh or corrosive chemicals.
•
The heat pump MUST be installed on a flat level surface (the feet supplied are adjustable).
•
A minimum gap between walls/fences etc of 200mm on the back and sides and 500mm overhead
and 1000mm on the front clearance.
Make sure the heat pump is not located where large amounts of water may run-off from a roof into the unit.
Sharp sloping roofs without gutters will allow excessive amounts of rain water mixed with debris from the
roof to be forced through the unit. A water deflector may be needed to protect the heat pump.
Airflow
An air intake at the back of the unit draws warm ambient air, while a discharge fan at the front releases cold
air. In cases where an obstruction is within
1.0m of the front discharge of the installed unit, such as a wall or
fence, installation of a deflector redirects air flow upwards or sideways instead of directly towards the
obstruction.
