Your choice must be made according to the following criteria:
For example :In the Paris region, for a swimming pool of 8 x 4 m and 1.5 m deep (totaling 42 m3), you will have to opt for a Poolex Jetline Selection 95 heat pump.
It is best if your pond is equipped with a bubble cover or rolling shutter to prevent temperature loss during the night.
Although the recommended water temperature to avoid damaging the liner in your pool is 27°C, you may want a higher temperature (30°C), which requires extra effort from your heat pump . In this case, we advise you to oversize the power of your heat pump by opting for a larger model than expected. This way you can reach the desired temperature faster without overheating your heat pump.
Although the performance of the Poolex heat pump ranges is considerable, they do not allow all-season use. Indeed, they would not offer a significant enough yield to heat an outdoor pool in winter and allow swimming.
In contrast, the Hybrid ranges fall into the category of 4-season heat pumps: its integrated electric heater allows it to continue operating where other heat pumps stop. You even have the possibility to couple the 2 energies (hydro thermal + electric) for a faster heating.
Coming from the latest innovations, the Poolex heat pump is one of the most reliable in its range thanks to the quality of the materials used:
The long experience of these brands in the field of electronics testifies to a great reliability. They are all internationally known, particularly in the heat pump and air conditioning sector. The compressors they develop combine the latest technologies to ensure high-quality, high-performance products that respect the environment.
By using compressors of such brands, the Poolex heat pump ranges are becoming sustainable quality products.
The consumption of your Poolex heat pump will depend on several criteria:
The Poolex pool heat pump manufacturer's warranty is as follows:
The effective date of the warranty is the billing date.
Be aware though that this warranty does not apply to all models and also in the following cases:
When receiving your Poolex heat pump, we strongly encourage you to check the condition of all merchandise,namely the packaging and the product. Do not hesitate to open the package in front of the carrier to make your report in his presence.
If you notice that the product has been damaged during transport, refuse it because without it, no reservation will be admissible after the departure of the carrier.
Also note that the mention "Subject to unpacking" has no legal value.
The refrigerant contained in the Poolex heat pump requires it to be stored and transported upright on a pallet and in its original packaging.
If the unit is stored or transported in a horizontal position, put it back in the upright position and wait at least 24 hours before plugging it in and turning it on.
To make a hydraulic connection with By Pass kit please follow these steps:
To make an electrical connection, please follow these steps :
Terminals P1 and P2 allow you to connect the filter pump (or auxiliary pump) to your heat pump to program a servo.
For the electrical connection of your Poolex heat pump, it is recommended to use a power cable RO2V3 x 2.5mm².
If you wish to slave the filter pump to the heat pump, you must connect your filter pump to your heat pump via terminals P1 and P2.
To do this, know that:
If the consumption of your filter pump does not exceed 5 amperes (1000W) you can connect directly to the P1 / P2 terminals with a standard 220-volt power relay to be coupled with a 20-amp magnetothermal protection.
Beyond 5 amps, you must go through a power relay to make your connections.
There really is no ideal distance to install your heat pump to your pool.
The point is to make the right compromise between a sufficient distance to minimize the noise and a correct distance between your PAC and your pool in order to avoid the losses of piping.
However, consider installing a 30 milliampere magnetothermal protection at the meter outlet to protect the line and the pump. There is no risk of electrocution but we advise you to place the heat pump at 10m from the basin to reduce noise.
The Bypass Kit is a kit with 3 valves, 2 T, 2 elbows 50 mm diameter, 1 stripper and 1 glue.
It will allow you to easily make your hydraulic connection.
Set the bypass and the adjustment valves as follows:
We recommend that you open the intermediate valve only halfway to prevent your heat pump from getting into error due to too much water pressure.
If your setting is correct, your heat pump pressure gauge will display:
Important Note: The position of the manometer needle also depends on the outside temperature. Outside the summer period, it is not uncommon for the needle to be positioned below 300 PSI while your heat pump is running. This is perfectly normal given the ambient air temperature.
Rest assured, this phenomenon is completely normal.
Your heat pump went to sleep after reaching the required temperature (in this case: 26°C).
It will only restart when the temperature of your pool has dropped by 3 °C compared to the required temperature (26-3 = 23 °C). This is the temperature delta.
The temperature of your pool is currently 24°C (in this case), your heat pump is still waiting for an additional drop of 1°C to restart.
When using it for the first time or after a wintering period, it will take a few days for your heat pump to warm up to the desired temperature.
That's why we recommend that you first let your heat pump run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, covering the pool with a bubble cover at night until it reaches the desired temperature.
Be aware that depending on the type of installation, it may be that one week of operation is not enough. Do not hesitate to leave the heat pump running longer.
In order to avoid operating the heat pump unnecessarily, it is advisable to set the set temperature to the temperature you really want.
Then you can run your heat pump as you like to maintain the desired temperature.
During the first months of use, your heat pump will experience a condensation phenomenon, which is normal.
This will result in water flows, more or less important, which will fade as and when.
To avoid these condensate flows, we recommend that you install a condensate drain kit (optional).
To install it, simply plug the plug into the drain hole below the heat pump (see diagram).
For an optimal installation of the kit, make sure that the heat pump is elevated 100mm above the ground with solid, moisture-resistant studs.
Your heat pump will continue to operate as long as the water flow is sufficient. If not, the dashboard will display a "Pd error" and the heat pump will stop working.
You can check the water flow by observing your pressure gauge which should be around 400 PSI when your heat pump is running.
Poolex PACs do not operate without water circulation through the filter pump. If the latter stops, a flow detector will put the heat pump in a protective stop. Filtration must be running all the time the PAC is in action.
However, it is possible to operate the PAC by equipping you with an auxiliary pump to connect to the filter pump.
In order to avoid any water flow problem, the Poolex and Jetline PACs have a filtration management system that activates it 30 seconds before starting.
To winterise your heat pump, please follow these steps:
Winter cover
Specially designed for Poolstar heat pumps, it protects the pump during the winter period. It is made of EVA, anti-dust, anti-UVA and anti-UVB material.
This cover is available as an option.
Your heat pump will continue to operate as long as the water flow is sufficient. Otherwise, the dashboard will display a "Pd error".
If this happens, you must first open the V1 and V2 Valves completely and handle the Bypass Valve V3 to increase the water pressure.
If the error is still present, check the status of the flow sensor by doing the following:
If a radiator fin is inadvertently twisted, this will not affect the operation of the heat pump. There is no need to worry.
