Service and Operational Clearances.
* Refer to recommended clearance drawings following this s,ecdoL Allow 24"clearance between the heat
collection s.Pffaces and walls,fences,shrubs,or other objects.The heat pump requires largevolumes of air
moving over the heat collector.
* Allow 5 feet of vertical clearance between the top of the heat pump and any roof overhang or
other obstruction.This clearance prevents cold dischargeair,from recirculating back into the evaporator
coils(recirculation would reduce the overall performance of the heat Pump).
4. Provide at least 30"open area in front of the main access.panel.The electrical panel will need to
be accessed during installation and service,so avoid any plumbingobstructions that will restrict
easy access.

Plumbing Requirements
Overview:
When planning plumbing system layout,reference the plumbing schematics following this section as a guide to the
sequence of equipment,valves,fittings,etc.The plumbingconfigurations for typicalinstallations are diagrammed.
In operation,itis imperative the heat.pumpreceive waterflow within the minimum maximumranges specifiedfor
the.patt i larheatpunlp.Shouldthe systeminstaDaaan undereonsideration not closely match anyof the schematics,
contactAquaCaI Technical Support for advice and.guidance:(800)786-7751.
Partg and Materials-.
Industry technology changesmucic too,rapidly for AquaCal,to specify,with exactness,any items outside:send
beyond the heatpum�:Whatis specified.is ihntthe heatpump must be installed-in accordance with all applicable
local,state,or-national codes&standards.
Connection>tm.Heat Pump:
AIITropiCalheatpumpscome equipped witl 2"PVC,plumbing unions.Connection to�siteplumbingismade via
PVC solvent cement to the female slip socket of the plumbing unions.
AbiHtty to Winterize:
In regions where hard winters are typical,the uni ons.mentioned above allow for easy disconnecdonfreconnectino
of the heater.from..the plumbing system. Caution: do not defeat the function of the unions—use no;rue on the
threadedpoition of the unions.

Mmfinuaul /MaximuuiFnit Walter Flow Ratter d
All TropiCal,models are designed to operate successfully between flow rates of 20 to 70.gallons-per-minute
(GPiVD.Design the plumbing system to maintain atleast 20 OPM flow through,the heater,the heat pump will not
operate correctly,nor reliably,with less than 20 GPM of water flow supplied. 'E water flow.rates through the,
heater will exceed'70,GPX a.spring-checkbypass valve will be required;generally speaking;most residential
pools.and spas will notxequire a bypass unless a pump of 2 BF or larger is used(for Bypass valve details,see
information and--plumbing schematic,following).
Externa Bypass Check V.- ve Requirement
For installations where flow rates exceed 70 gpm an.additional spring bypass check valve.musi be installed.
NOTE:
Use of the wrong,sixe check valve may compromise the heat pump's efficiency,reliability,and may
void the factory warranty.For models T135,T115&T65,a 51b.Spring chebk-valve is required.

1mgation,Ralinwater Runoff,and:Landscape Features
Place the heat pump away from rain runoff from the roof_ A g tteror rain shield may:be required on the roof
edge above the heat pump.
Relocate or adjust irrigation to.avoid water spray directly onto,the heat pump. Do not locate plant shrubs or
bushes directly adjacent to heat pumps.Doing so willpreventproper air circulation into the unit;and may inhibit
access to the heater when service is needed-Consult drawings above for proper clearances.
Equipnl ent]PadRequkements
The equipment.pad should be constructed.to provi&adequate drainage and support to the-base of the heat
pump (see Table below).The'pad should be essentially level with.just.enough pitch to drain condensate and
any other water away,from the heater.
