There are 2 types of heat pumps: - traditional and "defrost" heat pumps.
Traditional heat pumps function with an outdoor air temperature above +5°C. These are generally designed for outdoor pools intended for use from April to October depending on the region.
The "defrost" heat pumps function with an outdoor air temperature of -10°C and a generally designed for use with indoor or sheltered pools.

You have certainly noticed that there is sometimes water under your car in the summer. This is not a leak but simply condensation. The same applies to your heat pump.

The temperature difference between the water inlet and outlet sides is greatly influenced by the water flow-rate through the unit. The higher the flow-rate, the lower the temperature difference and visa versa. This in no way influences the pool heating quality over an entire day.

The heat pump has been designed for outdoor installation and is perfectly weather-resistant. If, nevertheless, you wish to protect it, you may construct a lean-to roof and side walls (allow a space of 1 metre for this purpose). The front of the unit should however be left free and unobstructed.

Yes,
A heat pump is not designed to increase your pool temperature quickly, but to maintain the temperature you wished to attain when selecting the unit.
For example, the average time required to increase the temperature of an 80 m3 pool in continuous operation with a cover from 15°C to 28°C is approximately 5 days using a 12 kW restored power heat pump (Edenpac 3).

The heat pump requires very little maintenance. Each year, give the rear unit cooler a good wash (it looks like a car radiator). Do not use a high-pressure cleaner as this could damage the aluminium fins, a normal water spray is sufficient.
Before switching the unit back on again, contact your local pool specialist to have the electrical connections checked and to ensure all safety devices function correctly.
We may also provide you with a PSA-approved cleaning product for this cleaning operation.

When the pool is heated, the cover helps limit temperature loss due to dissipation. This cover therefore allows you to reduce the power consumption of your unit and cut your running costs in half.
Heating a pool without a cover is like heating a house with the window open.

Bearing in mind that it is recommended to filter a pool heated at 28°C 14 h/day (filter time = ½ the temperature), we recommend you heat your pool during the 8 off-peak hours and 6 other hours during the afternoon. This is important in order to keep the pool water crystal clear during the very hot periods.

Yes, but you will need to install a heat exchanger of the type Heat Line multi-coil or URANUS plate.
ATTENTION !!!
- ensure your heat-pump functions during the summer at temperatures > 20°C
- with this type of assembly, the power consumption will be 30% to 40% higher than with a special-purpose heat pump of the type EDENPAC.

The notion of silence and noisy is subjective. The elements which generate some noise in a heat pump are the compressor and the fan.
PSA heat pumps make full use of cutting-edge compression and ventilation technology in order to reduce these noise levels to a minimum. In all case, it is important not to install the heat pump less than 5 m away from your neighbour´s or your own terrace.

There are models which may be installed in a technical room: EDENPAC «in technical room». These units are supplied with an installation kit (duct + grid) in order to suck air from outside and blow out the cold air. Advantages: aesthetic and noise level.

Yes, but the limit is 15 m. Beyond this distance, the heat loss in the pipes is excessive and the filter pump will not have enough power.

The COP is the coefficient of performance. You can calculate this value by dividing the power delivered by the unit with the power drawn by the unit.
E.g.: COP for an EDENPAC 3 heat pump: 12/2.42 = 4.96.
The COP is measured in the PSA workshops under controlled conditions:
- Air temperature: 15°C,
- Water temperature: 24°C
- Relative humidity: 65%

No, all you need is an electrical power supply and water connection (PVC diameter 50).
The heat pump must be installed outdoors.
We remember you this installation must be realised by a professional to be covered by the manufacturer´s standard 2-year warranty.

The electric heater is extremely easy to install. However, the electrical connections must be carried out by a qualified professional as the following points must be checked:
- Compatibility with the electrical power supply
- Cable size,
- Protection devices.

At least a «peak-period - off-peak-period» tariff.
If the house is not heated entirely electrically (electric heaters or radiators), the TEMPO tariff may be an interesting option. Contact your local electricity board office for details.

In all cases, the heat-exchanger must be close to the boiler. The distance between the filter and the boiler + heat-exchanger must not exceed 20 m.

HEAT LINE is a multi-coil heat-exchanger
URANUS is a plate heat-exchanger

HEAT LINE is perfectly suitable for heating swimming pools thanks to its simple in-line assembly.
URANUS is a product taken from the industrial sector and is a modular, high-power unit adapted for use in low-temperature primary circuits of the geothermal type.

Yes, for the last 15 years, PSA has used patented titanium polyamide material combinations for its components. Both materials are totally corrosion-resistant. Today, more than 100,000 such units have been installed and no corrosion problems have been recorded.
