INTRODUCTION
In your hands you hold probably the most advanced and the most efficient heat pump currently available on
the market. This heat pump provides warm water in your pool at lowest possible cost. The heat pump is
manufactured in tightest accordance with related strict standards and norms, in order to provide high quality
operation and long‐term reliability.
This Installation and user manual contains all the necessary information about the installation, operation and
maintenance of the heat pump. Please read this Installation and user manual carefully before you start to use
this product. The manufacturer is not responsible for any personal or property damage due to the improper
installation, use or maintenance that is not in accordance with this User Manual.
This Installation and user manual is an inseparable part of this product; therefore it must be kept in good
condition and must accompany the heat pump.
1.1
Product description
The heat pump is designed exclusively for swimming pool water heating or cooling and maintaining its
temperature on the requested level. Other appropriate application is water temperature conditioning for fish
tanks, wine ciders or horse cooling facilities. These applications should be discussed with local installer or
distributor. Any other form of application is considered inappropriate.
The heat pump achieves the highest efficiency at 15÷35°C air temperature. At ambient air temperatures lower
than ‐5°C the efficiency of the device decreases and at the temperatures higher than +40°C the heat pump can
get overheated which may result in its malfunction, damage or failure. Do not use the product out of the
designated operational air temperature range which is stated in section
3.1 Technical data
.
This heat pump is designed for swimming pools with up to 40 m
3
‐ HP 1000 and up to 60 m
3
‐ HP 1400 of pool
water volume. For proper operations there must be water flow through the exchanger of the heat pump
(within water filtration circuit) in the range of 4‐6 m
3
/h.
The heat pump enables heat gain from the external air surrounding the swimming pool through the
compression – expansion cycles of the heat‐carrying liquid. The air is driven by a fan through the evaporator
where it will deliver its heat to the heat‐carrying liquid (the air is being cooled at the same time). The heat‐
carrying liquid is then delivered to the spirals of the exchanger by the compressor which pressurises it and thus
heats it up. In these spirals, the heat‐carrying liquid delivers its heat to the swimming pool water. From the
exchanger there is a cooled liquid flowing to the expansion valve or capillary where its pressure decreases and
it gets cooled down rapidly at the same time. This cooled liquid flows to the evaporator again where it gets
heated by the flowing air. The whole process runs fully automatically and is monitored by the pressure and
temperature sensors. The same principle is applied when heat pump operates in cooling mode.
Using simple language, a heat pump is able to extract the heat/cold that is present in ambient environment and
leveraged pass it into the pool water. When heating, higher the ambient air temperature is, more free energy
can the heat pump extract and thus reach higher efficiency. At favourable conditions you pay around 15% of
heat, i.e. 85% of heat is free. Please review below drawing of different ambient air conditions with subsequent
efficiencies.
The heat pump efficiency grows by the increasing surrounding air temperature.
It takes some days to achieve the requested swimming pool water temperature. This time period depends on
heat loss and heat gain balance of your pool.
Example factors of heat losses
: poor pool construction, used materials, usage of cover, air – water
temperature relationship, fresh water refilling, filtration, etc.
