Heat Pumps
Heat pump sourcing for spa and pool applications, beginning with the water system, installation and intended operating conditions.
Explore the options.
Start with the application and the product direction you want to explore.
Spa applications
Discuss water volume, target temperatures, usage pattern and how the unit needs to integrate with the spa. Single-fan and twin-fan arrangements are both available; the twin-fan version covers the higher-capacity range.
Pool applications
Discuss the pool, location, operating season and installation arrangement so that proposals can be assessed against a clear brief.
What decides the size of a heat pump.
Use the following details to define a proposal around your application.
Heating requirements
Water volume, desired temperatures, ambient conditions and the operating pattern defined for the project.
Electrical and controls
Supply specification, control interface and the requirements for your market.
Water connections
Connection dimensions, water-flow requirements and the proposed plumbing arrangement.
Installation and documentation
Airflow clearances, location, sound information and documentation requested for the specific model.
Configuration, considered together.
Discuss unit arrangement, visible finish, controls and the configuration appropriate to your project. Capacity, efficiency and sound figures must come from the documentation for the proposed model and stated test conditions.
What a heat pump brief has to settle.
Heating is compared against the water body and the site it has to work in, so the conditions matter as much as the output claim.
What to have ready
- Volume of water and whether a cover is used
- Where it runs: indoor, covered or open air
- Water temperature you want and how fast
- Airflow route and clearance around the unit
- Supply available at the location
- Distance from the power source and any existing controls
The documents a heat pump quote needs.
Share the intended application, location, water volume, operating temperatures, electrical supply, installation constraints and required documentation.
Reference data
Capacity, refrigerant and supply.
Two tables sit behind every heat pump quotation: the values that decide whether a replacement will fit, and the references our customers already buy against. Send whichever you have and we check the rest.
| Field | What we confirm |
|---|---|
| Heating capacity (kW) | Heat delivered at the rating condition |
| COP at rating condition | Heat delivered against electricity used, at a stated condition |
| Supply and phase | Voltage, and whether single or three phase |
| Refrigerant | Refrigerant the unit is charged with |
| Water connection size | Inlet and outlet connection |
| Flow requirement | Minimum flow the unit needs through it |
| Operating range | Air temperature range the unit is rated for |
| Noise level | Sound pressure at the stated distance |
| Reference system | Why it helps |
|---|---|
| Unit brand and model | Places the replacement against the existing installation |
| Pool or spa volume | Sets the heating capacity the installation needs |
| Existing connection and flow | Decides whether plumbing or pump has to change |
| Market and certification | Documents required for the destination market |
Values are confirmed per enquiry rather than published as a fixed list, because rating conditions differ between units and markets.
Questions about heat pumps.
Can you recommend a model from water volume alone?
Water volume is only part of the brief. Operating conditions, target temperatures and system requirements also matter.
What documentation should we request?
Share the intended market and the documents you require so that the request can be matched to the specific proposed model.
Is heating capacity alone enough to choose a heat pump?
No. Volume, heat loss, ambient conditions and the electrical supply all affect the choice.
Which refrigerant should be specified?
The refrigerant follows the model and the market it is sold in; type and charge are confirmed with the quotation.
Does the existing pump need to change?
Flow through the unit has to meet its requirement, so pump duty and pipe size are checked before a unit is offered.
Are cold-climate units available?
Units are quoted against the air temperature range they are rated for; the range for the destination is confirmed per enquiry.
