Important Features of Your New

Icebreaker Heat Pump

ThermoLink

Heat Exchanger

The heart of your heat pump is the patented ThermoLink heat ex- changer. The primary cause of premature heat pump demise is the failure of the heat exchanger. Ordinary heat exchangers are made from a cupron- ickel alloy. This cupron- ickel material is suscep- tible to attack from the sanitizers used in pools and spas, and from other re- lated water chemistry con- ditions. Once the heat ex- changer fails, the heat pump is ruined. The ThermoLink heat ex- changer tube is made from titanium, and is virtually im- pervious to water chemis- try damage.

Controller

State-of-the-art, solid- state electronic controller, maintains water tempera- ture within 1ºF of set point. Controller also permits user to predefine different Pool and Spa water temperature set points.

Corrosion-Proof

Cabinet

The cabinet, being made from resilient, UV-Pro- tected ABS material, can never rust, fade, or cor- rode. You can expect the cabinet to retain a like- new appearance with only an occasional wash down and—if so desired— a quick waxing.

Scroll Compressor

50% fewer moving parts than standard piston-type compressors. This equates to much improved reliability and improved efficiency. Scroll compressors are also much quieter in operation than piston-type compressors.

Heat & Cool Capability

Puts you in full control, year round ...Warms your pool or spa with the reliability and efficiency of our other heat pumps, but, with the flip of a switch, can also cool your pool or spa to refreshing temperatures during the hot summer months. For cooler climates, Icebreaker heat pumps offer unique advantages over passive defrost models. Please read more below...

Hot Gas, Icebreaker Defrost

Your Icebreaker heat pump is uniquely equipped for active defrost. Active defrost involves directing hot refrig- erant gas to the heat collector, melting accumulated ice away in a matter of a few minutes—then right back to heating. Standard heat pumps may remain “off in defrost” for extended periods during very cold weather. Because of its ability to continue to operate even during freezing weather, your Icebreaker extends the swim- ming season longer than any other heat pump.
