In Canadian installations, the minimum distance to
be maintained from the inside wall of the pool or spa is
3 meters (approx. 10 feet).
Pour les installations canadiennes, la distance
minimale à maintenir du mur intérieur de la piscine
ou du spa est de 3 mètres (approximativement 10
pieds).
2.2.3

equipment pad

Place the heat pump on a flat slightly pitched
surface, such as a concrete or fabricated slab (pad). This
allows proper drainage of condensation and rain water
from the base of the unit. If possible, the pad should be
placed at the same level or slightly higher than the filter
system equipment pad.
note Ensure that the pad is pitched not more than ¼
inch per foot cm per toward the compressor end
(front) of the heat pump. Pitch slab from back to
front ¼ inch per foot maximum and level from
side to side.
2.2.4

Condensation and drainage

Condensation will occur from the evaporator coil
while the unit is running and drain at a steady rate,
usually 3 to 5 gallons (11.4 to 18.9 liters) 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 hole located on the right side of the base of the
unit clear of debris.
If the heat pump is installed indoors, means of
condensate disposal must be provided. The drain hole
in the base of the heat pump is tapped to fit an optional
3/4" diameter barbed adapter, Zodiac p/n R3004100
(see Section 9, "Replacement Parts"). If using the
barbed adapter, connect a length of 3/4" tubing (5' is
included in Zodiac p/n R3004100) to the adapter, then
route it into a drain or outside the building to dispose
of the condensate. It is important to remember that no
part of the tubing or hose may be above the level of the
drain hole in the base of the heat pump.
2.2.5

lawn sprinklers

Keep lawn sprinkler heads from spraying on the
heat pump to prevent corrosion and damage. Use a
deflector if needed.
2.2.6

roof run-off

Make sure the heat pump is not located where
large amounts of water may run-off from a roof into
the unit. Sharp sloping roofs without gutters will allow
massive amounts of rain water, mixed with debris from
the roof to be forced through the unit. A gutter or down
spout may be needed to protect the heat pump.

2.2.7
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. Other jurisdictions may have similar
requirements. Please check your local codes for further
details.
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 is
recommended in all installations and are required in
Florida (reference Florida Building Code, Mechanical
Section 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
3. Place the clamps at the base of the heat pump in
the locations indicated in Figure 2.

4. Fit the hook of each clamp over the lip on the
base panel of the heat pump. The hook should
fit between the lip of the base panel and the
evaporator coil guard (see Figure 3).
5. Mark the position of the hole in each clamp on the
equipment pad.
6. Drill a hole in the cement using a masonry drill
bit, with a diameter as determined by the concrete
anchor, at each of the marks on the equipment pad.
The hole should be approximately 1-3/4" deep.
7. Insert a bolt anchor into each of the holes. Be sure
the anchors are set completely into the holes.
8. Position the anchor clamps so that the holes in the
clamps are over the bolt anchors. Be sure that the
clamp hooks are over the lip of the heat pump base
(see Figure 3).
9. Insert an anchor bolt through each clamp into the
anchor and tighten to secure the clamp and heat
pump to the equipment pad.
