1. To allow for proper condensation drain-

age, 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 in-

stall indoors or where the discharge air can

accumulate 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 sprin-

kler to spray the unit in any way to prevent

damage.

4. If the unit is installed under a sharp roof

pitch or under a roof valley without a gutter,

a gutter or diverter should be fitted to pre-

vent excessive water from rushing through 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.
