The Heat Pump is now recognised as the most environmentally friendly method of heating.
Calorex are UK designed and manufactured Heat Pump's which are perfectly designed for the UK climate.
Calorex have been making heat pumps for the UK and worldwide market for over 30 years and are sold in over 30 Countries Worldwide. Calorex were one of the first companies to recognise the energy saving benifits of heating a pool with a heat pump. Heat pumps are perfectly designed to put small amounts of heat into your pool water over a long period of time. This means very high efficiencies, which in turn will save you large amounts of money on your heating cost.
If you consider an average gas boiler is only ever 85 to 90 % energy efficient. A Calorex Heat Pump will deliver 350% efficiency when the air temperature is above 10 degrees. If the air temperature reaches 25 degrees this goes up to a massive 500%. So for every £1 you spend on running the heat pump (electricity) you will gain £5 worth of heat. You will be getting free heat from the air!
Calorex have the best reputation in terms of reliability of any heat pump available. This is why the UK made Calorex heat pumps are sold all over the world.
Often we take calls from customers looking to replace their old Calorex heat pump, often the age of the heat pump is around 20 years old. This tells its own story, and why they are first choice amongst all leading UK pool builders. Not many heat pumps made in the Far East can boost figures like that!
Calorex are actually lobbying for independent testing on the COP (Co efficient of performance) stated by heat pump manufacturers. That is because Calorex know there units perform exactly as stated.
If you need a hand checking which size heat pump best suits your sized pool, please contact us. We are happy to help. A number small of factors may effect the choice.
The Calorex sizing charts as base on the following assumption, the entire pool is in the ground, ground water level is below pool construction, average water depth is 1.3m and a heat retention cover is used for 20hrs a day. If your pool is in a very exposed location please tell use as this may have a small bearing too.
Calorex two main ranges of domestic heat pump.
Summer/Extended Season Heat Pumps - which are X range. These perform well in summer but can also operate when there is ground frost or a cold snap. They cost a little less than the all year model. Test over the last few years has enabled Calorex to upgrdae the season from Summer Only to Extended Season. This is beacuse the defrost system on the X range is good enough for ever the British weather.
All Year Round - Which are the Y range. These will perform all year round. If the weather gets very cold the unit will defrost (reverse cycle) itself before continuing to work.
In addition Calorex offer Single and Three Phase Electrical Options. Large single phase units do require a large amount of amps due to load on start up, which is why 'soft start' is also available. This is very useful, and can be retro fitted by an electrician (held in stock) or factory fitted (special order). The soft start will reduce the initial current surge associated with compressors.
If in doubt please contact us or download the electrical specification which in the installation manual and available to download from our Resources Tab above.
All heat pumps will heat indoor and outdoor pools, but remember indoor pools tend to be used all year where as most outdoor pools use in the warmer months.
All Calorex heat pumps are sold in the UK come with a comprehensive 3 years parts and labour warranty. Calorex have a number of approved engineers at various locations around the country. The warranty procedure is very straight forward although seldom used!
