INTRODUCTION
A Cost-efficient Heater
Your new pool heat pump will help you save money compared to other types of pool heat-
ers.
In fact, even if your pool heat pump has a lower heat capacity which makes it run for 24 hours a day, the pool heat pump remains the most economic system, because of the use of state of the art technics in thermodynamics.
How Does It Work?
Your pool heat pump works just as a water pump does. Whereas a water pump is tranferring water from one place to another, your pool heat pump is transferring heat between the surround- ing air and your pool water. Moreover, your pool heat pump is not producing heat with the energy it is consuming just as a water pump is not producing water. It is because of this principle that your pool heat pump may attain efficiency ratios going up to 600% or 700% in the best climatic conditions. This means that for each kilowatt your pool heater consumes, it is transfering 6 or 7 kilowatts from the surrounding air to the pool water. The difference is astronomical compared to oil, gas or electric resistance heaters yielding only 80 to 95% output. But it is true to say that the output of traditional pool heaters stays constant at any outdoor climatic conditions whereas the output of a pool heat pump varies. However, even when temperatures are cooler the pool heat pump continues to transfer heat between air and water and it stays the best choice for tempera- tures down to 5 Celcius (41 Fahrenheit) overnight.
Low Maintenance
Your pool heat pump is designed for lower maintenance at a lower cost. But if you want your pool to be heated efficiently, you must follow the advice supplied in this manual.
