Unit Installation
Location: The placement of
the pool heater is very important in insuring maximum operating efficiency,
while keeping installation costs to a minimum and allowing access for
service and maintenance.
The unit is best suited for
outdoor installation and should not be installed indoors, the adequate
air exchange must be provided to insure efficient unit operation. (Please
call the manufacturer for details).
Clearance: Please allow 10 inches of clearance from walls, fences or
bushes around the sides and back of your unit; and at least 24 inches
in the front for operation and service access. Allow 4 feet of vertical
clearance from top of the unit to the roof overhang. (This will provide
quieter operation and will prevent re-circulation of cold air into the
unit, which will effect the units heating efficiency)
Sprinklers and Roof Run Off: Redirect or cap any sprinklers that directly
hit the unit, and do not install the heater under or near an area which
will subject it to large amounts of water run off. A gutter or down
spout may be needed to protect the heater.
Slab or base the unit sits on: Please provide a secure level surface
at least 36" X 36" for the units base.
Drainage: A drain fitting is provided in the bottom of the unit. This
fitting allows unit condensation or rainwater to escape, keeping the
inside of the unit relatively dry. Keep the drain fitting clear of leaves
or debris to insure proper drainage. You can divert the drain water
by attaching a 1/2 inch garden hose to the drain fitting and redirecting
it to an area better suited for drainage. (Ask your installer)
