Irrigation, Rainwater Runoff, and Landscape Features

Place the heat pump away from rain runoff from the roof. A gutter or rain shield may be required on the roof edge above the heat pump.

Relocate or adjust irrigation to avoid water spray directly onto the heat pump. Do not locate plant shrubs or bushes directly adjacent to heat pumps. Doing so will prevent proper air circulation into the unit, and may inhibit access to the heater when service is needed. Consult drawings above for proper clearances.

Equipment Pad Requirements

The equipment pad should be constructed to provide adequate drainage and support to the base of the heat pump (see Table below). The pad should be essentially level with just enough pitch to drain condensate and any other water away from the heater.

Model	Minimum Pad Size
T135	36” X 42”
T115	36” X 42”
T65	36” X 42”

Anchoring Heater to Pad

Follow all relevant local, state, or national requirements regarding wind load anchoring (use huricane anchoring kit, part #STK0010). As necessary, contact AquaCal Technical Support, 800-786-7751, for assistance in determining best method of compliance.
