AQUACAL Swimming Pool Heat Pumps
Q. Why should I be thinking of heating my pool with
a heat pump?
A. A heat pump allows you to heat your pool or spa economically.
Depending on energy costs, an AquaCal heat pump can save you up to
80% over propane gas, 50% to 70% over natural gas, and over 600%
against electrical resistance heaters found on most spas. This is the
reason why thousands of customers choose a heat pump to heat their
pool, rather than alternative types of heaters. If you plan on heating
your pool, a heat pump makes the most sense, and the most economical
heat pumps feature SCROLL compressors. AquaCal's HeatWave heat
pumps were the first heat pumps to feature SCROLL compressors as
their standard compressor.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. How does a heat pump work?
A. A heat pump simply moves heat from the air and transfers it to the
pool/spa water. A heat pump uses a refrigeration cycle exactly like your
refrigerator or air conditioner uses. A proven safe, economical and very
trouble-free system.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. How long will it take to heat my pool?
A. The initial start-up heating time will differ, depending on the size of
the pool and the air temperature at the time that you are trying to heat
your pool; other considerations affect the time also, but these are not as
important. However, once your pool reaches the temperature you desire,
the run time can be as little as only a few hours per day.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. Is the refrigerant used in heat pumps
ecologically safe?
A. YES! The United Nations Environmental Protection Agency has
approved the type of refrigerant used in AquaCal's heat pumps, R22,
until the year 2030.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. Why should I select a HeatWave SCROLL heat
pump?
A. SCROLL compressors are the most efficient and reliable compressors
on the market today! Most major heating and air conditioning
manufacturers have been using SCROLL compressors for several years
now. AquaCal was the first pool heat pump manufacturer to feature
SCROLL compressors as standard on their HeatWave heat pump line.
SCROLL compressors are 20% to 25% more efficient than conventional
reciprocating compressors and 50% to 60% quieter, too! The HeatWave
line also features a 10-year warranty-the best warranty in the industry!

Q. What is a pool blanket and why should I use one?
A. A pool blanket, or solar blanket, is a plastic bubble material that floats
on the surface of your pool/spa. It provides a very effective insulation,
similar to the insulation in your attic, to keep the heat in your pool or
spa. A pool blanket can reduce your heating costs by as much as 60%,
even if you use a heat pump. Our pool heating audit compares for you
the cost of heating your pool with and without a pool blanket.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. Is a pool blanket necessary if I use a heat pump
to heat my pool?
A. No, you do not need to install a blanket on your pool if you use a
heat pump. However, if you choose not to use a pool blanket, your pool
may require a larger heat pump. Your heating bills will also be lower with
a pool blanket.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q. Why does AquaCal install an internal bypass on
their heat pumps?
A. AquaCal installs an internal bypass, rather than letting the dealer
install an external one, for several reasons. The most important reason is
that we control the exact amount of water to enter the cupronickel
heat exchanger inside your heat pump. Our bypass automatically adjusts
to the flow of your pool or spa filter pump, unlike manual bypasses
which require you to constantly adjust them to maintain optimum
heating efficiency. A bypass is important to the life of your heat pump.
Allowing too much water to flow into your heat pump will eventually
erode the heat exchanger inside your heat pump, which can be a very
costly repair for you. Also, too much or too little water flow will lower
the performance of your heat pump.
