OWNERS MAINTENANCE & CARE

There are some considerations that should be taken concerning the environment where your heater is installed. The heater is usually placed near the pool filtering system. There are certain things in this area you will need to be aware of to insure long life and prevent unnecessary damage.

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 are 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 sys- tems are connected to a well system. Most well water is high in miner- als, 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 be in the well water also.

PLANTS

Plants in the installation area should be kept trimmed away to the proper clearances shown here. Plants too close to the heater will restrict the air flow into the unit from the side as well as air flow through the top. Plants also bring extra moisture and insects that may get inside the unit. There should be enough clearance to easily service and adjust the heater.

CAUTION

Chemicals should NOT be stored near the heater. The fan may draw corrosive chemical vapor through the unit causing damage. Do NOT store anything on top, underneath or around the heater. You will need access to the disconnect breakers in the event of an emergency.

CONDENSATION DRAINS

The unit will produce a condensation of water that will drain from the unit at a steady rate. This condensation is from the humidity in the outside air. The more humidity, the more condensation the unit will produce. There are several drain ports in the bottom of the unit, make sure they do not become clogged with debris. This condensation will attract weeds and insects, make sure that the water drains properly and plants are kept trimmed. (Heat and Cool Models) In the cooling mode this unit will produce no condensation.

The air handling compartment below the fan should be cleaned and vacuumed to remove debris that may clog the condensation drains at the bottom of the heater. Accumulated debris will clog the condensation drains causing the water to pool in the bottom of the heater. Accumulated condensation water will cause corrosion to the heaters

components.
