How to advance the installation of the pool heat pump?
The ideal when buying a swimming pool heat pump, once the location has been determined, is to properly prepare for the arrival of the heat pump and anticipate its installation by carrying out the preparatory work. When it is delivered, all you have to do is plug it in. It will be functional more quickly.
Preparing the base for the swimming pool heat pump
The heat pump is placed on a concrete base, slightly raised above the edge of the pool and strong enough to support the weight of the machine. Rubber pads, silencers are to be expected if they are not included in the sale of the device. They isolate the heat pump from the ground and limit vibrations, the machine is quieter.
Prepare the hydraulic connection for the pool heat pump
It is strongly recommended to install the heat pump with a “bypass” system. As a result, the heat pump can be isolated in the event of a maintenance or repair period. Most of the time, this element is not included in the purchase of the heat pump. It consists of 3 ball valves, a piece of rigid PVC pipe, it will be necessary to provide a solvent and blue glue. The bypass is installed after filtration and before water treatment. This operation can be anticipated. Good do-it-yourselfers easily cope with this task.
Preparing the electrical installation for the pool heat pump
This is surely the most delicate preparatory part because the installation must meet the NF C 15100 standard. If the electrical skills are not certain, it is better to call on a professional. It must be ensured that the current electrical equipment is capable of supporting the additional electrical load caused by the installation of a heat pump, create a line dedicated to the heat pump and position a type "D" differential circuit breaker adapted to this new equipment.
Depending on the distance that separates the heat pump from the electrical panel, the power cable will be of a different size. For this part, it is therefore necessary to plan to buy a differential circuit breaker and a few meters of electrical cable.
These few works carried out upstream will save time when the heat pump is delivered. The sooner installed, the sooner the bathing water is warm and the bathers happy to be able to enjoy it.
