Drainage and Condensation

Condensation will occur from the evaporator coil while the unit is running and drain at a steady rate, usually three to five gallons per hour, depending upon ambient air temperature and humidity. The more humid the ambient conditions, the more condensation will be produced. The bottom of the unit acts as a tray to catch rainwater and condensation. Keep the drain holes, located on the bottom pan of the base of the unit, clear of debris.

Lawn Sprinklers

Make sure there are absolutely no sprinkler heads near the heater that will in any way spray on or into the heater. Sprinkler damage is not covered under the warranty agreement.

Make sure that they’re a sufficient distance away so that normal winds will not carry the mist to the heater. If your filtering system area has plants that need water, use a trickle type irrigation sprinkler instead of the broadcast type.

The heater is designed to handle the wettest weather conditions that are typical of rain and humidity, etc. Sprinkler heads force high pressure water into the unit from

the side at an odd angle. Most sprinkler systems are connected to a well system. Most well water is high in minerals, sulphur and other aggressive contaminates. These contaminates will leave a build up on the evaporator coils and electronics causing corrosion and hamper the efficiency. If you are located within 15 miles of the coast, salt may also be in the well water.

Anchor Clamp(s) Installation

In Florida, building codes require that the heat pump be anchored to the equipment pad or platform to withstand high wind pressures created during hurricanes.

This heat pump is provided with anchor clamps designed to hold the unit to the equipment pad in high wind conditions. Installation of the anchor clamps are recommended in all installations and are required in Florida (See Florida Building Code 301.13).

To install the anchor clamps:

1.Be sure that the heat pump is in its permanent location on the equipment pad.

2.Remove the anchor clamps from the installation and instruction package.

Note: Bolts and bolt anchors are not included with the heat pump. The installer must provide 1/4” x 1-3/8” stainless steel anchor bolts and the appropriate size concrete anchor to mount the clamp to the equipmentpad.

3.Place the clamps at the base of the heat pump in the locations indicated in Figure 4, (2 in. undercut [notched area] on either side).

4.Fit the hook of each clamp over the lip on the base panel of the heatpump.Thehookshouldfitbetweenthelipofthebasepanel and the evaporator coil guard, see Figure 5.
