Before installation it is very important to ensure 4 variables are carefully checked to allow the unit to operate correctly:

• Adequate Air Flow
• Correct water flow volume
• Correct electrical connection & supply
• Heater condition
• For indoor pools please consult the supplier.

DO NOT place the unit in an enclosed area, where the units discharge air can be re-circulated. In an enclosed area take measures to evacuate the cold waste air out of the room. Conversely make sure there is adequate air entering the room to supply the heat pump.

Location & minimum clearances
Evo recommend the heat pump should ONLY be installed in a location with appropriate ventilation. Se above for minimum airflow clearances. The Evo pool heat pump should be installed with a minimum clearance of at least 3.5m to the water’s edge. Furthermore, EvoHeat recommend installing the heat pump no greater than 7.5 meters away from the water’s edge due to heat loss from the piping. If you do not have a location with these suggested clearances, please contact our EvoHeat Tech Support Specialist on 1300 859 933 to discuss appropriate installation locations. The heat pump should be installed a maximum of 5m below the water level of the pool/spa. 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 excessive amounts of rain water mixed with debris from the roof to be forced through the unit. A water deflector may be needed to protect the heat pump. If installing the heater on an existing pump/filtration system the heater must be installed AFTER the filter and BEFORE the chlorinator/sanitizer. The heat pump should be installed on a flat level surface. In the event that a suitable location is unavailable contact Evo Industries for specialist technical advice.

Swimming Pool Heat Pumps Location
Recommended clearances for installation:

• Air inlet: Minimum clearance of 500mm
• Air outlet: Minimum clearance of 700mm

The Swimming Pool Heat Pumps exclusive rated flow titanium heat exchanger requires no special plumbing arrangements except bypass(please set the flow rate according to the nameplate). The water pressure drop is less than 10kPa at max. Flow rate. Since there is no residual heat or flame Temperatures, The unit does not need copper heat sink piping. PVC pipe can be run straight into the unit.
Location: Connect the unit in the pool pump discharge (return) line downstream of all filter and pool pumps, and upstream of any chlorinators, ozonators or chemical pumps.
Standard model have slip glue fittings which accept 32mm or 50 mm PVC pipe for connection to the pool or spa filtration piping. By using a 50 NB to 40NB you can plumb 40NB Give serious consideration to adding a quick coupler fitting at the unit inlet and outlet to allow easy draining of unit for winterizing and to provide easier access should servicing be required.

Condensation: Since the Heat pump cools down the air about 4 -5 , water may condense on the fins of the horseshoe shaped evaporator. If the relative humidity is very high, this could be as much as several litres an hour. The water will run down the fins into the base pan and drain out through the barbed plastic condensation drain fitting on the side of the base pan. This fitting is designed to accept 20mm clear vinyl tubing which can be pushed on by hand and run to a suitable drain. It is easy to mistake the condensation for a water leak inside the unit.
NB: A quick way to verify that the water is condensation is to shut off the unit and keep the pool pump running. If the water stops running out of the basepan, it is condensation.
AN EVEN QUICKER WAY IS to TEST THE DRAIN WATER FOR CHLORINE – if the is no chlorine present, then it’s condensation.

Swimming Pool Heat Pumps Electrical Wiring
NOTE: Although the unit heat exchanger is electrically isolated from the rest of the unit, it simply prevents the flow of electricity to or from the pool water. Grounding the unit is still required to protect you against short circuits inside the unit. Bonding is also required.
The unit has a separate molded-in junction box with a standard electrical conduit nipple already in place. Just remove the screws and the front panel, feed your supply lines in through the conduit nipple and wire-nut the electric supply wires to the three connections already in the junction box (four connections if three phase). To complete electrical hookup, connect Heat Pump by electrical conduit, UF cable or other suitable means as specified (as permitted by local electrical authorities) to a dedicated AC power supply branch circuit equipped with the proper circuit breaker, disconnect or time delay fuse protection. Disconnect – A disconnect means (circuit breaker , fused or un-fused switch) should be located within sight of and readily accessible from the unit, This is common practice on commercial and residential air conditioners and heat pumps. It prevents remotely-energizing unattended equipment and permits turning off power at the unit while the unit is being serviced.

Initial startup of the Unit
NOTE: In order for the unit to heat the pool or spa, the filter pump must be running to circulate water through the heat exchanger.
Start up Procedure – After installation is completed, you should follow these steps:

1. Turn on your filter pump. Check for water leaks and verify flow to and from the pool.
2. Turn on the electrical power supply to the unit, then press the key ON/OFF of wire controller, It should start in several seconds.
3.  After running a few minutes make sure the air leaving the top(side) of the unit is cooler(Between 5-10 )
4. With the unit operating turn the filter pump off. The unit should also turn off automatically,
5. Allow the unit and pool pump to run 24 hours per day until desired pool water emperature is reached. When the water-in temperature reach setting, The unit just shuts off. The unit will now automatically restart (as long as your pool pump is running)when the pool temperature drops more than 2 below set temperature.

Time Delay: The unit is equipped with a 3 minute built-in solid state restart delay included to protect control circuit components and to eliminate restart cycling and contactor chatter. This time delay will automatically restart the unit approximately 3 minutes after each control circuit interruption. Even a brief power interruption will activate the solid state 3 minute restart delay and prevent the unit from starting until the 5 minute countdown is completed. Power interruptions during the delay period will have no effect on the 3 minute countdown.

The heat pump should be installed with a minimum clearance of at least 3.5m to the water’s edge. It is also recommended to install the heat pump no greater than 7.5 meters away from the water’s edge to minimize heat loss from the piping. If you have different clearances or need assistance with installation locations, contact EvoHeat Tech Support Specialist at 1300 859 933.

Initial Start-up of the Unit
Follow these steps when using the unit for the first time:

1. Open the valve and charge water.
