Hydro-Pro Pool Heat Pump Type18 18kW | COLLECTION ONLY

Swimming Pool Heat Pump Hydro Pro type 18, vertical.  "All seasons" model,  will heat or cool the pool water maintaining a constant temperature when the air ambient temperature is -5 to 43  °C.  With automatic defrost function, drain and flow switch. Durable, PVC & Titanium tube which can withstand prolonged exposure to swimming pool water and cabinet made from corrosion resistant ABS.  Quiet running with low sound rotary compressor and low noise fan.  Easy to operate digital temperature control with LCD display and micro-computer controlling, allowing all operation parameters to be set.  Essentially working like an air conditioning unit but in reverse, the heat pump uses the ambient air temperature to excite a refrigerant enclosed within the unit.  The temperature of the refrigerant is raised thus generating heat in the process.  By diverting the flow from your pool recirculation pump and sand filter system, the circulating water collects the heat generated by the 'excited' refrigerant.  As long as the unit is switched on heat will be provided all year round to the temperature you set.  Desired water temperature is 27 - 28 °C (a larger heat pump is recommended to reach a higher water temperature).  The heating capacity of the heat pump depends on the environmental - outside air - temperature, water quantity, but also position of the pool and heat pump and the degree of isolation for each.  For best results a pool cover should be used, as ~80% of heat is lost over night through the evaporation process.  Also, a bypass kit should be used with every heat pump (not included).  The Bypass kit disengages the water flow to the pump so the swimming pool water is still flowing but does not flow through the heat pump.  This is necessary when cleaning the swimming pool using chemical products.  Will allow winterising the heat pump without affecting the water flow to the swimming pool.  This unit is designed be installed outdoors or indoors.   Please consult a qualified electrician for installation.  It is recommended to connect the heat pump to a dedicated AC power supply branch circuit equipped with the proper circuit breaker, disconnect or time delay fuse protection.  Maximum pool volume depending on environmental conditions.   Accessories included: 4 x Anti-vibration base, 2  x Draining jet, 1 x Waterproof box, 1 x 10m Signal wire, 2 x Water  drainage pipes, 1 x winter cover. Dimensions: 36" L x 28" W x 37" H (91cm x 70.7cm x 94cm). Please see "More Information" section for technical specifications.  Collection at our store only, please contact us.
