6 INSTALLATION SPACING
Always try and install the heat pump as close as possible to the geyser as this will minimize the
thermal losses from the piping between the heat pump and the geyser. A maximum one way pipe
distance of 15m is allowed but not ideal.
• Never install the heat pump in a roof as this will drastically cool the roof space and
influence the unit’s performance.
• The heat pump can either be mounted on the floor using the rubber feet provided with it
or it can be mounted on a wall, using the brackets available from ITS Solar.
• The heat pump should be installed in places with sufficient space and good ventilation –
the warmer, the better.
• If being installed near a wall, allow a gap of at least 0.3 metre for ventilation.
• During operation condensation water is discharged from the heat pump. This water is
very clean and can be channelled to a drain or garden.
• Make sure the unit is installed level.
• Do not install the heat pump where there is pollution, corrosive gas, or accumulation of
dirt or fallen leaves as this might block or damage the unit.
• Low level vibration noise is present and building structures might “amplify” this noise.
