The equipment pad should be constructed to provide adequate drainage and support to the base of the
heat pump (see Table B). The pad should be essentially level with just enough pitch to drain condensate
and any other water away from the heater.
At this time relocate or stop any sprinkler heads that will spray water directly onto the heat pump. Do not
plant shrubs or bushes adjacent to heat pumps after installation. They will prevent proper air circulation
into the unit and may inhibit good access to the heater when service is needed. Consult Drawing 1 and
Table A for proper spacing.

Indoor Installations

Every indoor installation is unique, therefore, there are no specific guidelines for this type of installation.
For assistance, please contact our Engineering or Technical department and they will assist you with
your specific needs.
Plumbing
All Aqua Cal Heat Pumps are equipped with either 2" MPT or FPT PVC fittings for the installer to
connect to. No additional valving or bypass is necessary unless flow rates through the heat pump
exceed 70 gallons per minute. Most residential pools and spas will not require a bypass unless a pump
of 2 hp or larger is used.
When threading fittings into the 2" FPT connections on the heat pump, be sure to use a thread sealing
compound suitable for PVC. Be careful not to over tighten fittings.
