Ce chauffe-piscine doit être installé á au moins 5
pieds (1.52m) de la paroi interne de la piscine à moins
d’être isolé de la piscine par une clôture, un mur ou
autre barrière permanente.
2.2.3 Equipment Pad
Place the heat pump on a flat slightly pitched
surface, such as a concrete or fabricated slab (pad). This
allows proper drainage of condensation and rain water
from the base of the unit. If possible, the pad should be
placed at the same level or slightly higher than the filter
system equipment pad.
NOTE Ensure that the pad is pitched not more than 
inch per foot toward the compressor end (front)
of the heat pump. Pitch slab from back to front
 inch per foot maximum and level from side to
side.
2.2.4 Condensation and Drainage
Condensation will occur from the evaporator coil
while the unit is running and drain at a steady rate,
usually three to five gallons per hour, depending upon
ambient air temperature and humidity. The more humid
the ambient conditions, the more condensation will be
produced. The bottom of the unit acts as a tray to catch
rainwater and condensation. Keep the drain hole located
on the right side of the base of the unit clear of debris.
If the heat pump is installed indoor a means of
condensate disposal must be provided. The drain hole in
the base of the heat pump is fitted with a 5/8” diameter
barbed adapter. Connect a length of 5/8” tubing or
garden hose to the adapter and route it to dispose of the
condensate into a drain or outside of the building. It is
important to remember that no part of the tubing or hose
may be above the level of the drain hole in the base of
the heat pump.
2.2.5 Lawn Sprinklers
Keep lawn sprinkler heads from spraying on the
heat pump to prevent corrosion and damage. Use a
deflector if needed.
2.2.6 Roof Run-off
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
massive amounts of rain water, mixed with debris from
the roof to be forced through the unit. A gutter or down
spout may be needed to protect the heat pump.
2.2.7 Installation of Anchor Clamps
In Florida, building codes require that the heat
pump be anchored to the equipment pad or platform
to withstand high wind pressures created during
hurricanes.
This heat pump was provided with anchor clamps
designed to hold the unit to the equipment pad in high
wind conditions. Installation of the anchor clamps is
recommended in all installations and are required in
Florida (See Florida Building Code 301.13).
To install the anchor clamps:
1. Be sure that the heat pump is in its permanent
location on the equipment pad.
2. Remove the anchor clamps from the installation
and instruction package.
