- Remove all leaves, garden plants and rubbish that may land on the heat pump immediately.
- At the bottom of your heat pump you have a condensation drain; this must be kept free from obstructions like dirt, weeds, or other types debris.
- Rain water collected via guttering for example should not be directed to pour onto the pool heat pump. The pump can operate well under normal rainfall but if you have a constantly leaking pipe for example, which is leaking on top of the heat pump, then this can damage it.
- Ensure that your garden water sprinklers are not pointing in the direction of your swimming pool heat pump. This direct water flow is not good for it in the long term.
