    WATERCO Heat Pump Ranges

Electroheat MKV

Waterco Ltd has re-designed its popular side vented Electroheat MKV heat pump, which is not only sporting a new pewter colour but a special evaporator coating that ensures high heat transfer and corrosion resistance for pool and spa owners living in humid or coastal environments.

Compared to gas and electric heaters, the Electroheat MKV pool heat pump range use just a fraction of the energy to generate the same amount of heat and unlike solar heating; there is no reliance on the sun as the latent heat in the air is used.

  • Energy efficiency: Pool heat pumps are more energy-efficient than other types of pool heaters, such as gas or electric heaters. This is because they use electricity to move heat, rather than generating it.
  • Cost-effectiveness: Pool heat pumps can save you money on your energy bills, especially if you live in a mild climate.
  • Extended swimming season: Pool heat pumps can extend your swimming season by warming the pool water in the cooler months.
  • Environmental friendliness: Pool heat pumps are an environmentally friendly way to heat your swimming pool. They do not produce any emissions and they use less energy than other types of pool heaters.
  • Energy efficient: Uses 1kW to produce up to 6kW of heat.
  • Unique modern robust design: Noise and vibration reduction
  • Hydrophilic Blue fin evaporator technology: Improves corrosion resistance.
  • Dual coil heat exchange: Increases heat pump’s performance.
  • Improved condensate collection: Two fitted spigots allow drainage hose connection
  • Refrigerant pressure gauge: Indicate the level of gas charge

FAQ

Installing the right pool heater can extend your swimming season. Pool water typically hovers around 18-20 degrees Celsius (64-68 degrees Fahrenheit), but with a designated heating system, you can enjoy a balmy 25-29 degrees Celsius (77-84.2 degrees Fahrenheit). Trans-seasonal pool heating solutions, such as heat pumps, allow you to maintain the ideal pool temperature, making swimming comfortable even during cooler months. Investing in an efficient pool heater allows you to maximise your pool usage and enjoy swimming for a more extended period each year.

Waterco heat pumps are reliable, highly efficient, and economical to run, making them an excellent choice for pool heating. They extract heat from the air and use it to produce hot water, similar to a reverse cycle air conditioner. Compared to gas and electric heaters, Waterco heat pumps use just a fraction of the energy to generate the same amount of heat. Although they take longer than gas heaters to warm up the pool initially, they maintain the desired temperature efficiently. Benefits include high energy efficiency, saving up to 80% over LPG and 50% over natural gas-fuelled heaters, and consistent operation regardless of weather conditions. The initial installation cost may be higher, but the significantly lower running costs offset this expense over time.
