Correct installation is required to ensure safe and efcient operation of your pool heater.
Installation requirements for EVOHEAT heat pumps include the following:
a. Appropriate site location and clearances.
b. Sufcient air ventilation.
c. Correct electrical connection.
d. Adequate water ow.
This manual provides the information needed to meet these requirements.
Review all application and installation procedures completely before
continuing the installation.
3.2 Location
Evo recommend the heat pump should ONLY be installed in an outdoor location with
appropriate ventilation.
In the event that a suitable outdoor location is unavailable contact Evo Industries for
specialist technical advice.
If installing the heater on an existing pump/ltration system the heater must be installed
AFTER the lter and BEFORE the chlorinator/sanitizer.
The heat pump should be installed on a at level surface as close as possible to the pool.
Large runs of uninsulated piping can signicantly contribute to heat loss. A rough estimate
of heat loss over a 30m pipe run can be as high as 600 Watts per hour per 5 degrees of
temperature difference between the air/ground and the pool water. These losses need to
be taken into account over long distances and piping may need to be insulated to reduce
heat leakage.
The heat pump should be installed a maximum of 1m below the water level of the pool/spa.
Make sure the heat pump is not located where large amounts of water may run-off from a
roof into the unit. Sharp sloping roofs without gutters will allow excessive amounts of rain
water mixed with debris from the roof to be forced through the unit. A water deector may
be needed to protect the heat pump.
3.3 Clearances
The unit needs continuous fresh
air whilst running. The heater
draws up to 80m3/min ambient air
through the sides and discharges
through the top fan cowl. Leave
sufcient space for unobstructed
airow into and out of the heater.
Do not locate the heater in an
enclosed area, or the discharged
cold air will recirculate into the
unit and consequently lower the
heating efciency.
3.4 Water Flow and
Plumbing Setup
All EVOHEAT heat pumps have a
factory preset internal water ow
switch. If there is insufcient water
ow the heater will not operate.
Before connecting the heater
to the plumbing, all piping must
be thoroughly ushed to ensure
no debris can enter the heater.
Failure to remove pipe debris
can jam or damage the ow
switch and may cause damage
to the heater.
When cleaning the pool it is
advisable to turn off your heater
as restricted water ow may
cause the heater to shut down
and indicate low water ow fault
(P08 error).

Minimum required clearances
A Variable speed pump or bypass valve and plumbing MUST be tted to allow
water ow to be adjusted through the heater. Do not direct connect a water
pump with higher ow than required to the heat pump.
