Elecro pool heaters

Advice on choosing a heater and what to expect

Customers with above ground swimming pools like Intex and others should know that the largest heater they can have that can be fitted with a 13 amp plug and then plug straight into a wall socket is a 3kw.  After this the heater has to be "hard wired" which means it needs to wired directly back to your fuse box, in most cases this is a job for an electrician.  Intex pools and other above ground pools must have a pump/filter that is on the ground outside the pool.  Most owners of above ground pools do have this set up however people with 10ft Intex pools might have the new pump/filter system which hangs over the side of the pool wall, a heater can not be fitted if you have one of these pumps.  If you are in doubt ring us on 0151 334 0222.

We strongly advise that customers also have a solar cover when buying an Elecro heater (e.g. a 12ft solar cover £39).  A pool heater adds to the time the pool can be used however "heat loss" is a big problem.  A solar cover on its own adds to the heat of the pool and in good weather does more than take the nip off the pool temperature.  However a big advantage is that it helps to retain the heat, created by a heater, already in the pool.  Without insulation i.e. a solar cover, having a heater on its own is like having the central heating on in your house with all the windows open.

Elecro Titanium Swimming Pool Heat Pump

Elecro heat pumps are the most efficient and reliable swimming pool heat pumps available. Built to the highest possible standards, Elecro heat pumps absorb heat from the air and transfer it to the pool water - making the heating process clean, efficient, ecological and most of all cost effective.

All Elecro heat pumps feature state of the art technology and are built using the highest quality components to ensure ultimate performance and reliability.

How Do Elecro Swimming Pool Heat Pumps Work?


Step 1 : The evaporator absorbs heat from the ambient air drawn through the evaporator coil by the fan (1a). The heat is transferred to the cold refrigerant flowing through the evaporator coil and the residual cooler air generated by the process is then discharged out of the heat pump by the fan (1b).


Step 2 : The compressor then receives the warmed refrigerant and by the compression action, heats it, elevating substantially the pressure inside the system. The now hot refrigerant converted to gas is then pumped to the condenser.


Step 3 : The heat from the hot refrigerant flowing inside the condenser is then transferred to the pool water, touching the exterior of the condenser coil, when flowing through the heat exchanger. In the process, the refrigerant temperature drops and the water temperature increases.


Step 4 : The now warm refrigerant flows through the pressure control regulator device (capillaries or expansion valve) greatly reducing the pressure inside the system and chilling the refrigerant to a cool state again. The refrigerant is then ready to restart the process and flow into the evaporator coil to collect the heat again.

Superior Efficiency, Low Running Costs
A swimming pool heat pump only requires energy to operate a compressor and a fan motor, requiring minimum power consumption in the process. Elecro heat pumps can produce more than 5 times more heat energy than the electrical power it consumes. This means that for every 1-kW of electricity consumed, the heat pump can produce over 5-kW of heat output into the pool water.

Features:

Q - What is priority Heating?

A - Priority heating is when the Pool Smart digital controller can determine that the swimming pool's temperature has dropped below the minimum swimming temperature and then switches the pool's circulation pump on (via the pump control cable) so that the heating product can switch on and heat the pool back to the minimum swimming temperature. Once the minimum swimming temperature has been reached the heater will also switch off the pool's circulation pump.

Q - Why does the Pool Smart heater have 2 temperature set points?

A - The Pool Smart digital controller has been designed to be the most economical heating controller available, by allowing the use of 2 set points you are able to select a higher set point for when fuel is cheaper (i.e. off peak) and then a lower set point for when fuel is more expensive (i.e. peak rate). It is recommended that the lower set point is programmed to be your absolute minimum swimming temperature, if the pool then drops below this temperature during the day the heater can switch on the circulation pump (as described above) and top up the heat to keep the pool at the minimum swimming temperature.
