3. Installation and connection
3.1 Notes
The factory only supplies the heat pump. All other components, including a bypass if
necessary, must be provided by the user or the installer.
Please observe the following rules when installing the heat pump:
1. Any addition of chemicals must take place in the piping located downstream from the
2. Install a bypass if the water flow from the swimming pool pump is more than 20%
greater than the allowable flow through the heat exchanger of the heat pump.
3. Install the heat pump above the water level of the swimming pool.
4. Always place the heat pump on a solid foundation and use the included rubber mounts
to avoid vibration and noise.
5. Always hold the heat pump upright. If the unit has been held at an angle, wait at least
24 hours before starting the heat pump.
3.2 Heat pump location
The unit will work properly in any desired location as long as the following three items are
1. Fresh air – 2. Electricity – 3. Swimming pool filters
The unit may be installed in virtually any outdoor location as long as the specified minimum
distances to other objects are maintained (see drawing below). Please consult your installer
for installation with an indoor pool. Installation in a windy location does not present any
problem at all, unlike the situation with a gas heater (including pilot flame problems).
ATTENTION: Never install the unit in a closed room with a limited air volume in which the air
expelled from the unit will be reused, or close to shrubbery that could block the air inlet. Such
locations impair the continuous supply of fresh air, resulting in reduced efficiency and
possibly preventing sufficient heat output.
See the drawing below for minimum dimensions.
