3.3 Distance from your swimming pool
The heat pump is normally installed within a perimeter area extending 7.5 m from the swimming pool. The greater
the distance from the pool, the greater the heat loss in the pipes. As the pipes are mostly underground, the heat
loss is low for distances up to 30 m (15 m from and to the pump; 30 m in total) unless the ground is wet or the
groundwater level is high. A rough estimate of the heat loss per 30 m is 0.6 kWh (2,000 BTU) for every 5 ºC
difference between the water temperature in the pool and the temperature of the soil surrounding the pipe. This
increases the operating time by 3% to 5%.
3.4 Check‐valve installation
Note: If automatic dosing equipment for chlorine and acidity (pH) is used, it is essential to protect the heat pump
against excessively high chemical concentrations which may corrode the heat exchanger. For this reason, equipment
of this sort must always be fitted in the piping on the downstream side of the heat pump, and it is recommended to
install a check‐valve to prevent reverse flow in the absence of water circulation.
Damage to the heat pump caused by failure to observe this instruction is not covered by the warranty.
