Lawn Sprinklers - Pentair UltraTemp-E Serie Guide De L'installateur

Avoid directing the flow of ventilated air towards a noise sensitive area (room window for example), or a space where
people normally gather (the discharged air will be cold)
Avoid positioning the pool heat pump on a surface that can transmit vibrations.
Try to avoid placing the appliance under a tree or exposed to water or mud, which would be likely to complicate
performance and maintenance
Drainage and Condensation
Condensation occurs from the evaporator coil while the unit is running, and drains at a steady rate (usually three to
five 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 holes, located on the
bottom pan of the base of the unit, clear of debris. A plastic hose adapter is provided to allow controlled evacuation of
condensation
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.

Lawn Sprinklers

Avoid placing lawn sprinkler near the heater - they can spray water into the heater and void the
warranty.
Be sure to direct any spraying water away from the heater. Note the wind direction to be sure water from
sprinklers is not blown toward the heater.
Sprinkler heads can produce high water pressure and spray at an angle, different from typical rain and humid
weather. Also, sprinklers connected to a well water system can cause mineral build up on the evaporator coils and
electronics. Salt water can also be an issue if located near the coast.
Water Connections to the Heat Pump
The heat pump should be connected to a
filtration circuit through a by-pass which
consists of 3 valves.
It is imperative that the by-pass is placed after
the pump and the filter.
These valves allow to regulate the water flow
which passes through the heat pump and to
isolate the heat pump completely for any
maintenance work, without cutting the
filtration flow.
If your installation is equipped with water
treatment devices (chlorine, brome feeder,
salt water chlorine generator, others) the by-
pass must be installed before the water
treatment devices, with a non-return check
valve between the by-pass and water treatment devices.
Water inlet and outlet are designed to be connected to rigid pressure PVC tube (for swimming pool) Ø50 mm, directly
glued to the half union connectors provided.
Inlet water tube must be connected to connection labeled:
Outlet water tube must be connected to connection labeled:
Water tubes must be fixed on the floor or the walls, so the heat pump will not support the weight of the water inside
the plumbing.
