INSTALLATION AND LOCATION

When pool equipment is located below the pool surface, a leak from any component can cause large scale water loss or flooding.
Pentair Water Pool and Spa, Inc. cannot be responsible for such water loss or flooding which may cause damage to property or
to the product. Avoid placing the heat pump in locations where it can cause damage by water or condensate leakage. If this is not possible, provide a
suitable drain pan to catch and divert any leakage.
Only a qualified service person should install the
UltraTemp Heat Pump. Before installing this product,
®
refer to the Important Warning and Safety Instructions
on page i.

Materials Needed for Installation

The following items are needed and are to be supplied
by the installer for all heat pump installations:
1. Plumbing connections (2-inch).
2. Level surface for proper drainage.
3. Suitable electrical supply line. See rating plate
on unit for electrical specifications. A junction
box is not needed at the heat pump; connections
are made inside of the heat pump electrical
compartment. Conduit may be attached directly to
the heat pump jacket.
4. Electric cutout switch that will interrupt all power
to the unit. This switch must be within line of
sight of the heat pump. Check local codes for
requirements.
5. Watertight conduit to run the electrical supply line.

Equipment Pad

For proper drainage of condensation and rain water,
place the heat pump on a flat slightly pitched surface,
such as a concrete or fabricated slab (pad).
If possible, place the pad at the same level or slightly
higher than the filter system equipment pad.
Note: Be sure that the pad is pitched not more than
1/4 in. per foot in any direction as needed for runoff.

Drainage and Condensation
Condensation occurs from the evaporator coil while
the unit is running, and drains at a steady rate (usually
three to five gallons 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.

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.
