Installation Information

Professional installation is required. Before ordering, verify the available 230V electrical service, breaker size, plumbing connections, water flow, equipment-pad clearance, and required heating and cooling capacity.

Heat-pump performance varies based on outdoor temperature, humidity, pool size, water temperature, wind exposure, water flow, and use of a pool cover. Active Defrost improves low-temperature operation but does not eliminate climate-related performance changes.
