Aqua Pro Information

AQUA PRO ABOVE-GROUND HEAT PUMP

SLASH YOUR POOL HEATING COSTS WITH AN ULTRA-EFFICIENT HEAT PUMP

Aqua Pro Systems™ makes the most efficient above-ground swimming pool heat pumps in America. Heat pumps run on electricity and emit no hazardous pollutants into the air like natural gas and propane heaters. They are by definition low NOx. Heat pumps operate by extracting heat from the air, compressing the air to warm it up, and transferring the heated air into your pool water. Since the outside air is always warm when the pool is in use, heat pumps for pools are ultra-efficient. They are much cheaper to operate than natural gas or propane.

Aqua Pro Systems™, a leader in the manufacturing of above-ground heat pumps, builds these units with quality first. The Pro 600™ features a cupro nickel heat exchanger that is corrosion-free and impervious to pool chemicals. Solid-state controls allow you to set your desired temperature, and then the heat pump automatically calls for heat when the pool’s temperature drops below that setting. A super silent piston compressor makes this heat pump quiet as well as ultra-efficient. The exterior cabinet is made of tough, durable resin that is weatherproof and will not rust or corrode in any location. Click here for Aqua Pro AG Manual

Aqua Pro System™ heat pumps are built to last and backed by impressive warranties. The entire unit carries a 5-Year Warranty.

JANDY® AIR ENERGY™ HEAT PUMPS

HEAT YOUR POOL EFFCIENTLY WITH ELECTRICITY AND CUT YOUR HEATING COSTS!
Jandy® Air Energy™ heat pumps are the most efficient, trouble-free swimming pool heat pumps in America. Heat pumps run on electricity and emit absolutely no exhausts that pollute the air – they are low NOx by definition. They work by extracting heat from the air and transferring it into the pool water. Since the air is always warm when the pool is in use, it is the perfect and most efficient use for a heat pump. Air Energy™ heat pumps are so efficient at transferring this heat that they operate at a lower cost than natural gas.

Jandy®, the leader in swimming pool heaters, manufactures Air Energy™ heat pumps. All three units come with a digital control panel that displays current pool/spa temperature and automatically calls for heat when your pool drops below the temperature you set. All Air Energy™ units feature a corrosion-free titanium heat exchanger and a commercial-grade compressor that will stand up to harsh outdoor conditions for years. The rugged polymer cabinet will not rust or corrode in any location.

Designed with extra-large evaporator coils, these units collect more heat from the outside air. This makes them ultra efficient and energy saving. Air Energy™ units are quiet and their air defrost feature allows them to operate at lower air temperatures than other units. The 2500 and 3000 models can be purchased with the Chiller/Hot Gas Defrost System which allows the heater to operate at very low temperatures and also chills your pool during the hot summer months. All three units are “automation ready” and can easily connect to Jandy controls or other pool/spa automation systems.

Jandy®’s Air Energy™ heat pumps are built to last and backed by impressive warranties. There is a Lifetime Warranty on the Titanium HX heat exchanger and a 1-Year Parts & Labor Warranty on the rest of the unit. Enjoy warm pool water this season with efficient, non-polluting Air Energy™ heat pumps.

What size heater do I need?
Pool Size Recommended heater size
16' x 32' 250,000
18' x 36' 325,000
20' x 40' 400,000
The heater size should be based on how warm you want the pool or spa water and how fast you want the pool to warm up. If you plan to keep the pool warm all the time a smaller heater will work. The most economical use is to over size the heater and quickly warm up the pool water before you are ready to use it.
Sizing formula example
1 - determine what temperature you want for the water ( 78 for pools - 100 for spas) 78 - desired water temp
2 - subtract the average spring and fall air temperature for the period you will use the heater 58 - average temp
3 - equals the desired temperature rise 20 - temp rise needed
4 - use the chart below to match the needed rise with the degree per hour rise in temperature for the heater size

This chart shows the total degree rise expected

We recommend the use of a solar blanket with all heaters. A solar blanket will hold the heat in the water especially at night. Stopping the pool water circulation at night will also minimize heat loss. We suggest a freeze protector pool timer in area subject to freezing temperatures.
