All About Pentair Heat Pump

When it comes to enjoying your pool year-round, having the right heating system is crucial. Pentair, a global leader in pool equipment, has developed a range of heat pumps that combine energy efficiency, sustainability, and cutting-edge technology to provide optimal pool heating solutions. Their heat pumps are designed to extend your swimming season without the high operational costs typically associated with traditional heating systems.

What is a Heat Pump and How Does It Work?

A heat pump works by transferring heat from the outside air into your pool water. Unlike gas heaters, which burn fuel to create heat, heat pumps use electricity to move heat, making them a far more energy-efficient option. This process is similar to how an air conditioner cools the air but in reverse. In a heat pump, the compressor extracts heat from the surrounding air, and the refrigerant in the system absorbs this heat and passes it through a heat exchanger to warm the pool water. The warm water is then circulated back into the pool.

Pentair UltraTemp High-Performance Pool Heat Pump

Pentair has created the industry’s first heat pump charged with non-ozone-depleting refrigerant, R410A. It has 100% titanium heat exchanger assures corrosion-free performance for extra long life. The UltraTemp heat pump provides digital controls with dual thermostats to offer precise temperature control for pool/spa combinations. This way, you can avoid overheating and energy waste. Pentairs heatpump also features  (time clock over-ride) feature monitors water temperature and turns the water circulation pump on and off as needed to maintain desired pool temperatures. Another feature is the automatic defrost feature senses refrigerant temperature and prevents freezing, allowing the heat pump to operate at even lower temperatures. 

The UltraTemp heat pump is the perfect companion to IntelliTouch or EasyTouch Control Systems. All heat pump instructions and displays can be transferred to a centralized control system that manages all your pool/spa operations and poolscape features.
