A cold swimming pool is an unused swimming pool and in many upcountry areas swimming pools are too cold to use throughout the year and heating is required. There are a number of options available, but a particularly effective solution is the Dayliff Heat Pump. Heat Pumps utilise energy from two sources, heat from the ambient air and electrical power to run a compressor in a reverse refrigeration cycle, the compression process extracting heat from the ambient air for transfer to the pool water. The heaters are highly efficient operating at a Coefficient of Performance (COP), which is the ratio of energy output to direct energy input, of up to 6 times depending upon the environmental conditions. They are therefore very economical to run compared with fossil fuel alternatives though a pool cover must be used to ensure maximum heat retention. Heat Pumps are simply installed in-line on the filter return to pool pipe and include an integral controller and a durable plastic housing suitable for outdoor installation.
Particular features include:-
- Low energy consumption for low running cost and low emissions for heating and cooling applications.
- SPS-190 fitted with a plastic casing, larger sizes with a powder coated galvanised steel casing for long life
- High efficiency compressor that uses environmentally-friendly R410A refrigerant.
- Advanced dual coil titanium heat exchanger for long corrosion free life
- Built-in protection for the compressor, low water flow, high/low pressure and electrical overload
- Fully automatic and simple to install with minimal plumbing and electric connections.
- Remote controller to set temperature up to 40°C with digital system setting and fault indicators.
