Professional Maintenance and Service

The Pentair ThermalFlo Heat Pump is one of the most efficient ways to heat a pool or spa. The heat pump transfers heat from the outside air to the pool or spa water by means of an internal heat exchanger.

When the fan is turned on, warm air is drawn through the R410A refrigerant charged air coil, turning the cold liquid refrigerant to a warm gas. The gas then flows through the reciprocating compressor, which increases the pressure and refrigerant temperature. The hot refrigerant gas enters the water to gas heat exchanger where the water is heated and returned to the pool. During this heat exchange process the refrigerant is cooled and returned to the air coil and the cycle repeats.
