3.2 Swimming Pool Heat Pumps Location
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
*Forindoor pools please consult the supplier.
DO NOT place the unitin an enclosedarea,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.
3.3 Location & minimum clearances
Evo recommend the heat pump should ONLY be installed in a location with appropriate ventilation. See
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.

3.4 Swimming Pool Heat Pumps Plumbing
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 basepan and
drain out through the barbed plastic condensation drain fitting on the side of the basepan.
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.

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.

3.5 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.
3.INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION
3.6 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.
8
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.

Check the water supply device and the release often. You should avoid the condition of no
water or air entering into system, as this will influence unit's performance and reliability.
You should clear the pool/spa filter regularly to avoid damage to the unit as a result of the
dirty of clogged filter.
The area around the unit should be dry, clean and well ventilated. Clean the side heating
exchanger regularly to maintain good heat exchange as conserve energy .
The operation pressure of the refrigerant system should only be serviced by a certified
technician .
Discharge all water in the water pump and water system ,so that freezing of the water in the
pump or water system does not occur. You should discharge the water at the bottom of
water pump if the unit will not be used for an extended period of time. You should check the
unit thoroughly and fill the system with water fully before using it for the first time after a
Check the power supply and cable connection often,.Should the unit begin to operate
abnormally, switch it off and contact the qualified technician.
