3. INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION
3.4 Swimming pool heat pump plumbing
The swimming pool heat pumps exclusive rated titanium heat exchanger requires no special
plumbing arrangements except bypass (please set the rate according to the name plate). The
water pressure drop is less than 10 kPa at maximum Since there is no residual heat or
the unit does not need copper heat sink piping. PVC pipe can be run straight into
the unit.
Location
Connect the unit in the poop pump discharge (return) line downstream of all and pool
pumps.
Standard model have slip glue which accept 32 mm or 50 mm PVC pie for connection to
Give serious consideration to adding a quick coupler at the unit inlet and outlet to allow
access should servicing be required.
Condensation
Since the heat pump cools down the air about water may condense on the of
the horseshoe shaped evaporator. If the relative humidity is very this could be as much
as several litres an hour. The water will run down the into the base pan and drain out
through the barbed plastic condensation drain on the side of the base pan. This
is designed to accept 20 mm clear vinyl tubing which can be pushed on by hand and run to a
suitable drain. It is easy to mistake the condensation for a water leak inside the unit.
: A quick way to verify that the water is condensation is to shut off the unit and keep the pool pump running. If
the water stops running out of the base it is condensation. QUICKER WAY IS TO TEST THE
WA’s condensation.
