What is the life expectancy of a heat pumps?2021-04-07T15:06:27+10:00

With regular maintenance and servicing, our heat pumps should extend much further into the future than our warranties.

What is the coldest temperature at which the heat pump can be operated?2021-04-07T15:02:01+10:00

Our heat pumps can be operated in temperatures as low as -10 degrees Celsius and as high as 45 degrees celsius.

What is defrosting option in our heat pumps?2021-04-07T15:02:27+10:00

Defrosting is a process used to protect the heat pump from frosting when the climate reaches very low temperatures, a reversible valve is installed in any unit that we have by default, this valve reverses the flow of the heated refrigerant at the compressor to flow back to the condenser to keep it from frosting, this is done automatically in case of any frostings started to form on the unit.

What is a heat pump COP?2021-04-07T14:58:51+10:00

COP stands for coefficient of performance and is a measurement of efficiency for heating and cooling machines. It is measured by the total energy output (kw) that is leaving the unit in forms of heating or cooling over the total energy input (kW) that is entering the unit in forms of electricity. The higher COP, the more efficient a unit is and we are proud to say that our units are remarkable for their high COPs of 6.5 to 10 on average.  This means 1kW of energy input yields 6.5-10kW of heating output.

What happens when the heat pump reaches the desired swimming temperature?2021-04-07T15:01:19+10:00

temperature is reached the heat pump is turned off automatically, it comes back in operation only if the pool temperature is dropped by 1 degrees less than the set temperature. All our heat pumps have the best of inverter technology which allows it to drop to a lower speed and higher efficiency, maintaining an efficient heating process while avoiding consuming excess power. You may notice a reduction of the fan speed once the heat pump displays the set temperature this is how it maintains a perfect swimming temperature whilst your filtration pump is running.

What do I do if I need an urgent repair?2021-04-10T14:32:52+10:00

The best thing to do if you need a repair urgently is to contact the authorised installer in your area. IF you still need help please contact us

Is it important to have a pool cover?2021-04-07T15:07:33+10:00

Having a pool cover will significantly reduce the size of the heat pump required for your pool, thus reducing the unit cost, that is due to its ability to save the heat supplied to the pool from being lost to the atmosphere.

How much does it cost to install a heat pump?2021-04-07T14:59:08+10:00

Installation cost can vary based on site conditions, electrical power availability and unit size.  For an estimation, you can send us some photos of your pool, surrounding area, pool equipment and electrical sources.  Alternatively, contact an installer from our national network online who would be more than happy to guide you through the process.

How loud is the pump?2021-04-10T14:36:26+10:00

Our heat pumps are one of the quietest systems on the market. to get a true dB(A) measurement please go to our product page and look at the specifications for your specific model number

How fast can the pool be heated by the heat pump?2021-04-07T15:04:50+10:00

The time needed to heat a pool depends on how big the heat pump that you have is, the volume of the pool and the heat loss from the surface of the water in the location you are in.

Depending on the month of the year it is, the first time you switch on the heat pump you can expect a temperature rise of between 0.1 and 0.3 degrees per hour. This also depends on the heat pump installed as well. For a quick guide to calculate how many hours it will take to heat the pool is a calculation

  1. (pool volume x 4.18 x temperature rise)/ 1800
  2. Then divide the answer by the kW of the heater chosen and that is the approx. number of hours.
(Note this is just to heat up the water and doesn’t take into consideration the heat loss during heat up and other environmental factors)

A heat pump is designed to maintain a pool temperature by running everyday. This ensure the water is always ready to swim in.

(Note that a pool heat pump sized for Extended season only will not be able to achieve the set temperature in the winter months)
How does a pool heat pump work?2021-04-07T14:59:50+10:00

Heat pumps are basically a reversed cycle of an air conditioner, refrigerant R32 is the working fluid in our heat pumps, initially the fluid is liquid, refrigerant absorbs energy from the ambient air through the evaporator causing it to evaporate which leaves the R32 in the gas state. After that the gas refrigerant escapes to the compressor in which it’s heat and pressure are raised to the highest in it’s cycle, then it flows to the condenser, which operates as a heat exchanger, the heat of the refrigerant is exchanged with the low temperatures of the water in the pool system, causing the refrigerant to turn into liquid and heating the pool water. Finally, the liquid refrigerant goes back to the initial point which is the evaporator to repeat the cycle again for pool heating.

How do I use the Aquaheat Mobile App to control the heat pump?2021-04-10T14:23:51+10:00

The mobile app can set the temperature of pool and/or operational run time. At all time, it shows the pool temperature when the pump is running and it shows the ambient if pump is not running. For more details, please refer to the product manual and/or instruction video
