B. HEAT PUMP PLACEMENT & CLEARANCES
WATER IN/OUT PORT
INDICATOR LABEL
1. To allow for proper condensation drainage,
use a level slab to elevate the heat pump to
at least the same height as the pool filter
system slab, or 2 to 3 inches minimum
above grade.
2. Allow the minimum air flow clearances on
top and the sides as shown here. Make sure
the unit can "breathe" well. Do not install
indoors or where the discharge air can ac-
cumulate and be drawn back through the
heater. Make sure the front is accessible
for future service.
3. Keep sprinkler heads at least 6 feet away
from the heat pump. Do not allow the
sprinkler to spray the unit in any way to
prevent damage.
4. If the unit is installed under a roof overhang
or under a roof valley, a gutter or diverter
should be fitted to prevent excessive water
from pouring into the unit.
5. Keep all plants and shrubs trimmed away
from the heater to the minimum clearances
shown here to prevent air coil damage.
6. If the heater is installed above or below
the pool water level by more than 3 feet
you may require an external water flow
switch. See the top of section C8 for more
information.
