Waterco Swimming Pool
Heat Pumps
|
Waterco heat pumps are the most efficient means of
heating your swimming pool all year round.
 |
Superior
Efficiency, Low Running Costs. A
swimming pool heat
pump pool heater only requires energy to operate
a compressor and a fan motor, using
low amperage in the process. Waterco heaters produces up to 5 times more heat
energy than the electrical power it
consumes. This means that for every 1kw of
electricity consumed, the Waterco pool heat
pump
produces 5 kw of heat into the pool water.
Using the power consumption in kw/hour, you can
work out the approximate heating
cost.
Titanium Heat Exchanger
A Titanium Heat Exchanger offers
total protection against erosion
and corrosion.
Titanium
metal’s corrosion resistance is due to a
stable, protective, strongly adherent
oxide film. This film forms instantly when
a fresh surface is exposed to air or
moisture.
Titanium is resistant to: chlorinated water, ozone, iodine, Baquacil, bromine and salt water.

How a Heat Pump works
The Waterco
heat pump extracts heat energy from the surrounding air
and transfers the heat energy to
the water of the swimming pool.
The
heat pump works like a reversed air
conditioner, using an evaporator, a
compressor, and condenser to heat water
instead of cooling air.
Step 1
Capture
The heat pumps
fan circulates air through the outer evaporator air coil
that acts as a heat collector and
absorbs heat from the ambient air. The
liquid refrigerant in the air coil absorbs
the available heat in the air transforming it to a gas.
Step 2
Transfer
The
heat pumps compressor then receives the
warmed refrigerant and intensifies the
heat. The intensely hot refrigerant is then
pumped into the heat exchanger (condenser).
Step 3
Heat Exchange
The heat
from the hot refrigerant flowing inside the heat
exchanger is then transferred to
the pool water, via the surface of the
heat exchanger’s coils.
Step 4
The cycle begins again
The
refrigerant is then ready to restart the process and flows
into the evaporator air coil to collect heat again.
|
|
Powerful Heat Exchanger
The unique design of the heat exchanger creates an unmatched and powerful Heat
transfer due to greater surface area contact it has with the water, generating a high temperature differential
between the water entering and the water
leaving the heat exchanger.
 |
Automated Controls
 Simply program your desired pool water
temperature and let the Waterco heat pump
do
the rest.
Protection devices have been built into
the heater for ease of operation and to increase the
durability of the product.
Auto
defrost control to
eliminate frost on the evaporator in cold temperature
conditions.
Auto
Flow switch to
shut the system when there is no water flow.
High
/low pressure auto reset to
shut the system and compressor in the event of low or high pressure.
Compressor protection via time delay – A
time delay is incorporated into the system, allowing the
refrigerant pressures to equalise before the compressor starts/restarts.

General Considerations
The Waterco heat pump is
designed to economically heat a pool maintaining
the desired water temperature at all times. The Waterco
heat pump will effectively heat your swimming
pool when the ambient air temperature reaches 7
to 10° C or more. The Waterco heat pumps
performance will fluctuate depending on water and weather
temperatures.
The Waterco heat pump, at the
start, will heat slowly but at 21°C and more, it
will perform well maintaining the desired water
temperature at a very low cost and could run as little as 2 hours
per day in the process.
Between 10°C to 18°C, it will increase your water
temperature by 3°C to 5.5°C a day. Over 21°C you
should obtain an increase up to 0.8°C a hour and
over 26°C up to 1.1°C an hour depending on the
size of the swimming pool, the size of the heat
pump, the water temperature, and the ambient air
temperature at the moment of operation.
Waterco
heat pumps are capable of heating water up to a temperature of
40°C and more if required, depending on water and ambient air
temperature at the time of operation. |

Overview of benefits between Solar Heating, Gas
Heaters and Heat Pumps
|
Solar Heating
 |
 |
Fuelled by the power of the sun, solar Heating
systems are a low-cost, method of heating
up your pool water. |
|
As Solar Heaters are reliant on the sun, they are
best used to extend the swimming season. |
|
Virtually no operating costs, just the cost of
electricity to pump the pool water through
the solar absorber on the roof. |
|
|
Gas
Heating
 |
|
Gas heaters are fastest method for heating your
pool, providing a comfortable temperature
for swimming on demand. Gas is best for
heating pools or spas for short periods of
time. |
|
Gas heaters can easily maintain any desired
temperature regardless of the weather. |
|
Gas heaters are effective, but expensive to
operate. |
|
|
Heat
Pumps
 |
|
Heat pumps do not heat up the swimming pool as
fast as gas heaters, but they are the most
cost effective method of heating your pool
all year round. |
|
Heat pumps operate uses a small amount of
electricity. |
|
The heat comes from the ambient air. |
|
Heat pumps can only operate efficiently in climates
with ambient temperatures above 7°C |

Need A
Solar Cover? -
Click Here Solar
covers prevent heat loss from your swimming and can also assist with
heating your pool using sunlight. As much of 70% of heat lost from
you swimming pool is through evaporation, a solar cover acts as a water
vapour barrier, stopping evaporation therefore dramatically reducing heat
loss. When using a solar cover with a heat pump, the solar cover
will reduce your heating costs.
