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 surrounding 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 temperatures 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. SELECTING THE LOCATION The area you choose for your pool heat pump is very important. You must consider the following. Air Supply and Accessibility Your heat pump uses the surrounding air to work. It is very important that you make sure there is enough air circulation around the heat pump. Do not install the heat pump in a closed space like a garden shed, a garage, or a basement. The table below indicates the minimum distance from the heat pump that any object should be located. (1) facing the coil surfaces (2) facing other surfaces (3) facing fan * (4) facing service panel Generation (CP) 2 feet = 61 cm 10 inch = 25.4 cm 4 feet = 122 cm 2 feet = 61 cm or accessible Eclipse (MP) 2 feet = 61 cm 14 inch = 35.5 cm 4 feet = 122 cm 2 feet = 61 cm or accessible * Objects should be placed as far as possible from where the air is discharged. 1 1 2 3 2 2 1 4 3 CP Model MP Model Other Recommendations Do not install the heat pump under a roof. Doing this will protect the heat pump from being buried by snow or receiving heavy rainfall from the roof that does not have gutters. Also, make sure that the digital control does not face the sun. The control will not break but its digital display will be more difficult to read. If you have an automated sprinkler system for your lawn, make sure that the heat pump is not showered by a sprinkler. The pool heat pump should be installed on a firm and leveled surface, preferably on a concrete slab or something equivalent. Keep in mind that the heat pump will cause condensation. Therefore water will be dripping from the heat pump. a a Minimum Ideal Maximum Ecl...
