Choice of site
The placement of the swimming pool heat pump is very important in keeping installation
costs to a minimum, while providing for maximum efficiency of operation as well
as allowing adequate service and maintenance access.
The Aquatemp® may be installed virtually anywhere outdoors. It must not be installed in a totally enclosed area such as a shed, garage, etc. unless proper ventilation is provided to ensure adequate air exchange for proper operation. Re-circulation of cold air discharge back into the evaporator coil will greatly reduce swimming pool heat pump heating capacity and efficiency.
All units feature vertical discharge fans for quiet operation. Air is pulled through the evaporator coil and is discharged through the top grille. At least 1200 mm clearance should be allowed above the unit for unrestricted air discharge. The unit must not be installed under a porch. The evaporator coil sides of the unit should be located at least 500 mm from a wall or other obstruction for unrestricted air intake and service access. The front side of the unit where the control panel is situated should be located at least 1000 mm from a wall or other obstruction for easy access.
Mount the unit on a sturdy, level base (to help drainage of condensation and rainwater), preferably a concrete slab. The base should be completely isolated from a building foundation or wall to prevent the possibility of sound or vibration transmission into the building.
If installed indoors, air must be able to circulate adequately.
Air must be able to get to the unit and cooled air must exit without potential
re circulation. An auxiliary fan as well as a ducked outlet for the cool air
discharge is normally required (for indoor installations please contact you
local agent).

Plumbing
The Aquatemp® is connected right into your pool filter circulating
system. It is connected to the return pipe from the filter pump to the swimming
pool with the use of 50 mm PVC pipe of reinforced flexible hose.
The Aquatemp® is supplied with couplings for the inlet and outlet of the titanium heat exchanger, so that the PVC pipe or reinforced flexible hose is not glued directly to the unit.
When a salt water chlorinator is present, the Aquatemp®
should be connected downstream of the filter and pump and upstream of the chlorinator.
The piping sequence: pool > pump > filter > heat pump > salt water chlorinator
(if used, must be downstream from heater) > pool.

Wiring
Depending on the Aquatemp® model, 220 volt a c or 380 volt a c from
a dedicated circuit breaker is the only power supply required for the unit.
