3. Installation and Connection
3.1 Installation Safety Notes
The factory supplies the heat pump only. All other components,
including a bypass if necessary, must be provided by the user or
installer.
ATTENTION
THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS MUST BE FOLLOWED WHEN
INSTALLING THE HEAT PUMP:
1.
Any addition of chemicals must take in the piping located down-
stream from the pump.
2.
Install a bypass if the water ow from the swimming pool is
more than 20% greater than the allowable ow through the heat
exchanger.
3.
Always place the heat pump on a solid foundation and use the
included rubber mounts to avoid vibration and noise.
4.
Always hold the heat pump upright. If the unit has been held at
an angle, wait at least 24 hours before starting the heat pump.
3.2 Heat Pump Location
The unit will work properly in any location as long as the following
three items are present :
1.
2.
Fresh Air
Electricity
pool lters
The unit may be installed in virtually any outdoor location as long
as the speci ed minimum
distances to other objects are maintained (as per the following
diagram). Please consult your installer for indoor pool applications.
ATTENTION
NEVER INSTALL THE UNIT IN A CLOSED ROOM WITH A LIMITED
AIR VOLUME IN WHICH THE AIR EXPELLED FROM THE UNIT
WILL BE RE-USED, OR CLOSE TO SHRUBBERY THAT COULD
BLOCK THE INLET. SUCH LOCATIONS IMPAIR THE
CONTINUOUS SUPPLY OF FRESH AIR, RESULTING IN REDUCED
EFFICIENCY AND POSSIBLE PREVENTION OF SUFFICIENT HEAT
OUTPUT.

3.3 DISTANCE FROM YOUR SWIMMING POOL
The heat pump is usually installed within a perimeter area
extending 7.5 m from the swimming pool. The greater the distance
from the pool, the greater the heat loss in the pipes. As the pipes
are mostly underground, the heat loss is low for distances up to
30m (15 m from and to the pump; 30 m in total) unless the ground
is wet or the groundwater level is high. A rough estimate of the
heat loss per 30 m is 0.6 kWh (2,000 BTU) for every 5 °C di erence
between the water temperature in the pool and the temperature of
the soil surrounding the pipe. This increases the operating time by
3% to 5%.
