Reduce your hot tub, swim spa or pool running costs by up to 70% with an air source heat pump from Solstice Hot Tubs.

The low energy consumption coupled with high heat production make our heat pumps an environmentally friendly way to heat your hot tub, swim spa or pool.

Unlike alternative ways of heating pools, the a heat pump requires no fuel storage tank or high capacity electrical supply. It produces no smell, fumes or CO2 gases.

Our heat pumps are designed to work all year round when temperatures are above -5°C. Thus, the pool season can be extended for several months.

6kW - Ideal for hot tubs and small swim spas

8kW - Best suited for swim spas

How do they work?

A heat pump is a machine or device that moves heat from one location (the 'source') at a lower temperature to another location (the 'sink' or 'heat sink') at a higher temperature. They work by exploiting the physical properties of an evaporating and condensing fluid known as a refrigerant

The working fluid, in its gaseous state, is pressurised and circulated through the system by a compressor. On the discharge side of the compressor, the now hot and highly pressurised vapor is cooled in a heat exchanger, called a condenser, until it condenses into a high pressure, moderate temperature liquid. The condensed refrigerant then passes through a pressure-lowering device called an expansion valve. The low pressure, liquid refrigerant leaving the expansion device enters another heat exchanger, the evaporator, in which the fluid absorbs heat and boils.The refrigerant then returns to the compressor and the cycle is repeated.

Since the heat pump or refrigerator uses a certain amount of work to move the refrigerant, the amount of energy deposited on the hot side is greater than taken from the cold side.

What is COP?

Coefficient of Performance is the amount of heat moved per unit of input work required. A typical electric resistance heater has a COP of 1.0. That is, one joule of electrical energy will cause a resistance heater to produce one joule of useful heat, while under ideal conditions, one joule of electrical energy when used for heating a Swimspa or Spa on a mild day of say 10 °C, a Catalina ECO heat pump has a COP of between 3 and 4 and up to 6.8 at 25 °C.

 

Please note:
The heat pump does not include connection pipe work or fittings. These can be purchased by selecting the 'Heat Pump Fitting Kit'. The Heat Pump Fitting Kit includes 5 metres of plumbing, an auxiliary heat controller and a changeover switch.
