3. Installation and connection
3.1 Remarks
The factory only provides the heat pump unit; the other parts, including a contingent by-pass, are to be provided
by the user or the installer.
Attention:
Please take the following steps when installing the heat pump:
1. Each addition of chemicals has to be performed through the conduits located downstream of the heat
pump.
2. Install a by-pass when the flow of the pool pump exceeds the authorized flow through the heat
exchanger of the heat pump with 20%.
3. Install the heat pump above the pool’s water level.
4. Always place the heat pump on a solid base and use the supplied silent blocks in order to avoid
vibrations and noise.
5. Always keep the heat pump in upright position. If the unit has been tilted, you should wait for at least
24 hours before turning it on.
3.2 Location of the heat pump
The unit will perform well on any location provided three factors are present:
1. Fresh air - 2. Electricity - 3. Pool filter piping
The unit may be installed virtually anywhere outdoors providing minimum distance requirements are met with
respect to other objects (see diagram below). For indoor pools please consult your installer. If the unit is placed
in a windy area, no problems occur with e.g. the pilot light, as opposed to what is often the case with gas
heaters.
ATTENTION: Do not place the unit in an enclosed area with a limited air volume where the unit's discharged
air will be re-circulated or near shrubs that could block the air inlet. These locations deny the unit a continuous
fresh air supply, which reduces its efficiency and may prevent adequate heat yield.
See diagram below for minimum required distances.
