Installation Requirements - Rheem Raypak Crosswind-30-I Manuel D'installation

A WARNING: Do not install the unit within 3 ft (0.9 m)
of fossil-fuel-burning heaters. Air intake along the sides
of this heater could disturb the combustion process of
the unit, and could cause damage or personal injury.
Mount the unit on a level, sturdy base, preferably a
concrete slab. The size of the base should be at least 3 ft
by 3 ft (0.9 m x 0.9 m).

Installation Requirements

The heater must be installed by a pool professional. End
users are not qualified to install the heater. Damage may
occur to the heater or threaten the safety of the user.
1. The heater must be installed OUTSIDE in a well
ventilated area to avoid air recirculation, and in a
place with adequate room for both installation and
maintenance. Please refer to the following illustration.
2. This unit requires a minimum of 12" (305 mm) of
clearance from walls, shrubbery, equipment, etc.
around the entire perimeter of the heater. This allows
for ample air intake. Ample clearance around the air
outlet is required to prevent recirculation of air. We
recommend not placing the unit underneath eaves,
decks, or porches, as this causes recirculation of
discharged air, thereby reducing the efficiency of the
heater, or even stopping it.
3. Do not stack anything that will block air flow near the
inlet or outlet areas, or have any barrier within 20"
(508 mm) behind the main heater, or the efficiency of
the heater will be reduced.

4. The heater needs a pool pump (to be supplied by
the user). For recommended pump flow rates,
see Table J for Inverter Models, or Table K for
On/Off Models.
5. When the heater is running, there will be condensation
water discharged at the base. Place the drainage
nozzle into the condensation outlet and attach it
securely, then contact a drainage pipe from it to the
drain.
6. The piping between pool and the heater should be
less than 30 ft (9.1 m), or heater performance cannot
be ensured.
7. For best results, insulate the pipes between the pool
and heater.
8. It is important to keep the area next to the heater
clear of shrubs, bushes and chemical containers.
These could prevent air from circulating fully through
the heater, and will affect the operation of the heater
or damage the heater.
9. When installed in areas where freezing temperatures
can be encountered, drain the water circuit to prevent
possible freeze-up damage. See page 23 for
proper procedures.
10. If the heater is below the water line of the pool, an
external WFS might be needed.
