Application and Installation Notes

The BlueCool S16 115V is intended for main salons, large master staterooms, express cruisers, and enclosed bridges on approximately 30 to 42-foot vessels. Before installation, verify the 115V supply, 25 A breaker, 250 GPH seawater loop, five-eighth-inch hose-barb connections, six-inch ducting, RJ12 controller wiring, condensate routing, and service clearance. The deep composite condensation tray should be considered when selecting the mounting location.

Who This Unit Is Not Ideal For

This heat pump is not intended for 230V-only boats or compact cabins requiring substantially less capacity. It may also be unsuitable where the vessel cannot support the 11.4 A heating load or specified seawater flow. Final sizing should consider cabin volume, insulation, glazing, climate, and ventilation.
