❶ Installation
1.1 I Selecting the location
• When installed with and protected by an appropriate Residual Current Device (RCD) having a
maximum trip current rating of 30mA, the appliance must be installed at 2 metres, minimum,
from the surrounding edge of the pool.
• If an appropriate RCD is not installed with the appliance, the appliance must be installed at a
minimum distance of 3.5 metres from the edge of the pool.
• Do not lift the appliance by the body; lift it by its base.
•
Install the appliance outdoors. Provide a clear space all around it (see § “1.2 I Hydraulic connections”).
•
Install the heat pump as close as possible to the dehumidifier and pool filter (12 metres maximum).
• It is recommended to insulate the hydraulic lines to prevent any heat loss.
•
If the appliance cannot be installed next to the dehumidifier:
-
Make provision for the dimensions of the pipes and primary and secondary circuits in relation to the water flow
rate, losses of load and distance.
-
Install a more powerful circulating pump (contact us for its dimensions and supply),
•
If the heat pump is away from the filter: the pool circuit pipes must have a minimum dimension of Ø50 and be fitted
in a protective sheath if they are run below ground.
•
The water treatment system must be installed after the heat pump and at a low point to avoid chlorine being returned
to the heat pump.
•
The heat pump must not be depended upon as support for the pipes. Adequate proper support must be provided
for the pipes.
• Install the
4 anti-vibration studs under the base and position the appliance on a stable, solid and level surface,
•
This surface must be able to bear the weight of the appliance (especially if installing on a roof, a balcony or any other
support). It is recommended to install the appliance on a concrete slab floor or condensation tray for the condensate
piping (to be provided; and is available as an accessory).
The appliance must not be installed:
•
With the blower directed towards a permanent or temporary obstacle (window, wall, hedge, awning, etc.) less than
5 metres away,
•
Within range of water or mud jets, sprays or run-off (the effect of the wind must be taken into account),
•
Near a heat source or flammable gas,
•
Near high frequency equipment,
•
In a location where it is subject to a build-up of snow or sand,
•
In a location where there is a risk of it being flooded by the condensates produced by the appliance during operation.
Information: condensate drainage
Important: your appliance may drain several litres of water a day, related to the condensation of water in
the air.
Tip: reduce any noise annoyance from your heat pump
•
Do not install it under or in the vicinity of a window.
•
Do not tilt it towards your neighbours.
•
Install it in an open space (sound waves are reflected on surfaces).
•
Install an acoustic screen around the heat pump, respecting the recommended distances.
•
Install 50 cm of flexible PVC pipe at the heat pump water inlet and outlet (stops vibrations).
