How to route the heat pump near the swimming pool?

How to prepare the way to transport the heat pump to its final place?

If the transport of the heat pump is a point that should not be neglected to prepare for the arrival of the pool heat pump, it is above all the journey between the delivery point and its final location which is likely to be more complex. Because the garden is strewn with pitfalls that one does not necessarily imagine. It is therefore necessary to make a list of the difficult points and to find solutions, so that the heat pump arrives at its final destination without incident.

What are the displacement constraints for the heat pump?

For the transport of the swimming pool heat pump, whatever the difficulty encountered on the course, it is necessary to take into account its weight which is between 37 and 88 kilos but which can go up to 130 kilos. It is therefore necessary to provide a few people to be able to carry it if necessary.
Its dimensions are also an element which will be decisive in particular for the passage in the paths, the curves and particularly the right angles. The vertical heat pumps are narrower (≈ 435 x 410 mm) than the horizontal ones, the dimensions of the boxes of which are for the smallest ≈ 773 x 885 mm and for the largest ≈ 1210 x 510 mm. It is best to leave the machine in its packaging to avoid damaging it and not being tempted to carry the machine by its fittings.
The heat pump must be kept in a vertical position during the journey. If this is not the case, it will be necessary to wait 24 hours before being able to connect it.

A few tips for easier moving of the pool heat pump

To facilitate access to its final location, making a brief plan (with some ribs) or intellectually viewing the route you will take the machine is essential. Thus we can determine complex places, anticipate solutions, consider strategies to circumvent difficult passages.

The obstacles most often encountered are narrow paths, in this case you have to go through the lawn... at the strength of the arms or provide a pallet mounted on wheels and pull by a rope. Provided the soil is not too loose. A pallet truck is a good tool. Heavy flowerpots, statues or other bulky decorative objects can also block progress. Moving them before the passage of the machine is as much time saved and strength preserved.
There may be low walls that line the aisles and prevent you from passing turns easily. Stairs are probably the most common problem. If its width allows it, a sufficiently solid wooden plank can facilitate the passage by sliding the machine over it.

For all delicate situations identified on the route, a solution will be found and applied. If they are anticipated, crossing the garden with the heat pump will be a formality!
