• How far from the spa should the in.temp heat pump be installed?
  • The in.temps heat pump has 16 foot(5m) cords, but in order to limit heat loss from the piping, it is recommanded to install the heat pump as close as possible to the spa.
• What temperature can the in.temp operate in.temp heat pump?

• What are the physical conditions the in.temp heat pump shoud be installed in?
  • The in.temp heat pump should NOT be installed in an airtight location or confined space, such as a basement or garage. The in.temp heat pump requires good air ventilation. It will discharge cold air when it is heating and hot air when it is cooling, and its efficiency depends on its ability to draw normal ambient temperature air and discharge the cold or hot air well away from the unit. The unit should be located on a solid flat surface with a slight rearward slope. Ensure 3 meters (9 feet) of free air flow to the discharge panel and 1 meter (3 feet) to the inlet panel as well as free airflow to all sides of the unit. In cold climates, the in.temp must be installed at least 46 cm (18'') above the ground level on an open metal frame in order to prevent the accumulation of ice at the base of the unit caused by condensation.
