Filtration System Layouts

3.5.1 Shared Filtration System
Figure 4 illustrates the standard layout for shared
filtration systems.
3.5.2 Independent
Figure 5 illustrates the standard layout for
independent (dual pump) filtration systems sharing a
heat pump.

Heat Pump and Heater Combination

In certain regions it may be more economical to
run a heat pump during the warmer months and a gas
heater during the cooler months. In some situations it
may be desirable to run the heat pump in the "Chiller"
mode during the hottest portion of the year and a heater
during the cooler months.

The Air Energy™ heat pump may be plumbed
with a gas or electric heater or any combination of
heat sources including solar. All heat sources must be
plumbed in parallel to work correctly and efficiently.
Figure 6 illustrates a recommended plumbing
layout for a heat pump / heater / solar combination
heating system for a pool / spa combination.
Your system may not contain all of these
components, but the basic plumbing will apply by
eliminating the component in the illustration that is not
a part of your system.
3.6.2

Multiple Heat Pump Connections

All plumbing on multiple heat pump installations
must be done in parallel (see Figures 7 through 10). An
equal flow of water to each heat pump is important for
optimum operation.
NOTE It may be necessary to adjust water pressure
switch if a unit is installed below the water level.
See Section 5.6 for details on when and how to
adjust the pressure switch.
NOTE Each heat pump allows a maximum fl ow rate of
475 lpm and requires a minimum of 110 lpm.
