SELECTING THE LOCATION
The area you choose for your pool heat pump is very important. You must consider the following.
Air Supply and Accessibility
Your heat pump uses the surrounding air to work. It is very important that you make sure there is enough air circulation around the heat pump. Do not install the heat pump in a closed space like a garden shed, a garage, or a basement.
The table below indicates the minimum distance from the heat pump that any object should be located.
| Generation (CP) | Eclipse (MP) |
(1) facing the coil surfaces | 2 feet = 61 cm | 2 feet = 61 cm |
(2) facing other surfaces | 10 inch = 25.4 cm | 14 inch = 35.5 cm |
(3) facing fan * | 4 feet = 122 cm | 4 feet = 122 cm |
(4) facing service panel | 2 feet = 61 cm or accessible | 2 feet = 61 cm or accessible |
* Objects should be placed as far as possible from where the air is discharged.

Other Recommendations
Do not install the heat pump under a roof. Doing this will protect the heat pump from being buried by snow or receiving heavy rainfall from the roof that does not have gutters.
Also, make sure that the digital control does not face the sun. The control will not break but its digital display will be more difficult to read.
If you have an automated sprinkler system for your lawn, make sure that the heat pump is not showered by a sprinkler.
The pool heat pump should be installed on a firm and leveled surface, preferably on a concrete slab or something equivalent.
Keep in mind that the heat pump will cause condensation. Therefore water will be drip- ping from the heat pump.
