4. Setup and Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the performance and longevity of your heat pump. It is recommended that installation be performed by a qualified professional.
4.1 Placement
Choose a location that allows for unrestricted airflow to and from the unit. Ensure there is sufficient space around the heat pump for maintenance and operation. Avoid placing it near windows or sleeping areas due to potential noise.
4.2 Water Connection
The heat pump should be installed in the pool's filtration system after the filter and before any chemical feeders. The unit includes 1.5-inch connectors for plumbing.
Image 4.1: Diagram illustrating two connection options for the heat pump: Option 1 for 1.5-inch PVC pipe connection (recommended for preventing leaks, adapter included) and Option 2 for 1.5-inch hose connection (requires a 40mm to 1 1/2" hose conversion kit, not included).
For optimal performance and to prevent leaks, the use of 1.5-inch PVC piping (Option 1) is recommended. The necessary adapter for PVC pipe connection is included in the accessory package. If using a 1.5-inch hose (Option 2), a separate 40mm to 1 1/2" hose conversion kit will be required.
