Inverter heat pump for pools Altec Pool with a power of 13 kW is slightly more expensive than classic On/Off heat pumps, but they are more energy-efficient since they adjust the performance (i.e., the number of revolutions) of both the compressor and the fan according to the heating needs of the pool water. They turn on and off less frequently, thus avoiding unnecessary energy loss. They are primarily designed to operate at an average performance of 50%, which ensures 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 atmospheric air as the lower source (from which heat is extracted). These pumps are “monoblock,” meaning they are compact units that contain all components within a single housing. This makes installation very straightforward, and additional investment costs include purchasing PVC pipes, fittings, and valves with a diameter of d50/63 mm and connecting the device to the pool filtration system. The low hydraulic resistance in the condenser, specifically 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 classic On/Off heat pumps.
