Inverter heat pump for pools Altec Pool with a power of 10 kW is slightly more expensive than traditional On/Off heat pumps, but they are more energy-efficient as they adjust the performance (i.e., the speed) of both the compressor and the fan depending on the heating needs of the pool water. They turn on and off less frequently, which prevents unnecessary energy loss. They are primarily designed to operate at an average efficiency of 50%, ensuring high efficiency, low noise levels, and a long lifespan for the pump.
Altec Pool is an air pump, or more precisely, an air/water heat pump for swimming pools that uses ambient air as the lower source (from which heat is extracted). These pumps are “monoblock,” meaning they are compact units that contain all components in one housing. This makes the installation of the pumps very straightforward, and additional investment costs include the purchase of PVC pipes, fittings, and valves with a diameter of d50/63 mm, as well as connecting the device to the pool’s filtration system. The low hydraulic resistance in the condenser, i.e., in the titanium heat exchanger where the pool water is heated, allows the use of the existing pool filtration pump.
Low noise level (sound intensity). Altec Pool pumps use low-noise GMCC compressors and variable speed fans. The operation of the device while maintaining the set water temperature with an efficiency of 50% is approximately 7 times quieter than that of traditional On/Off heat pumps.
