ElectroHeat does not generate heat itself, it works like a reverse-cycle air conditioner, heating water instead of cooling air. This is called the heat pump process. Heat is absorbed from the ambient air; it is then amplified via the compressor and transferred to the water via the heat exchanger. ElectroHeat is one of the most energy efficient means of heating your swimming pool.
ElectroHeat Plus does not generate heat itself, it works like a reverse-cycle air conditioner, heating water instead of cooling air. This is called the heat pump process. Heat is absorbed from the ambient air; it is then amplified via the compressor and transferred to the water via the heat exchanger. ElectroHeat is one of the most energy efficient means of heating your swimming pool.
Heat & Cool units have a reversing valve which enables the heat pump to not only heat up the water, but also to cool down water during the hot summer months. Normally, a heat pump will gather heat energy from the air with its evaporator coil. Using refrigerant and several other components, the heat is transferred over to the pool water. By reversing this process the heat pump can actually take heat out of the water, transfer it to the refrigerant, and run it through the evaporator coil. The coil dissipates the heat into the air.
The latest advancement in swimming pool heating, Electroheat Subzero heat pumps extracts latent heat from the surrounding air, intensifies it and transfers it to your swimming pool. Electroheat Subzero heat pumps will heat your pool even when the ambient air temperature is below freezing point (0°C).
