WELCOME TO THE AQUACAL FAMILY
Congratulations on your wise decision to make an AquaCal heat pump part of
your home. Since 1981, AquaCal has maintained the worldwide lead in the
manufacture of swimming pool & spa heat pumps.
Your new heat pump is not only a great investment, but also the most cost effective
method available for heating pools and spas. For example, as a means to heat pool
or spa water, your heat pump is up to 400% more efficient than gas, and, when
compared to electric resistance heat, your heat pump is nearly 600% more
effective. You can rest assured that your new heat pump is of the highest quality
and efficiency, and is designed and built to provide years of trouble-free operation.
Moreover, should you decide you would like AquaCal to provide regular
inspection and maintenance for your heat pump–which we do recommend–you will
find that AquaCal has the largest and most-qualified factory-trained service staff in
the pool & spa heat pump industry.
IMPORTANT FEATURES OF YOUR NEW HEAT PUMP
Y
OUR NEW HEAT PUMP IS EQUIPPED WITH THE FOLLOWING INNOVATIVE FEATURES
:
ThermoLink™ Heat Exchanger:
The heart of your heat pump is the patented ThermoLink™ heat exchanger. The primary
cause of premature heat pump demise is the failure of the heat exchanger. Ordinary heat
exchangers are made from a cupronickel alloy. This cupronickel material is susceptible to
attack from the sanitizers used in pools and spas, and from other related water chemistry
conditions. Once the heat exchanger fails, the heat pump is ruined. The ThermoLink™ heat
exchanger tube is made from titanium, and is virtually impervious to water-chemistry
damage.
Scroll Compressor:
Scroll compressors contain 50% fewer moving parts than common piston-type compressors.
Less moving parts equates to much improved reliability. Additionally, scroll compressors
are much quieter in operation than piston-type compressors, and operate at a considerably
higher efficiency level.
Microprocessor Control:
Full-feature, digital-based microprocessor, controls water temperature to within 1º Fahrenheit
of set point. The controller also permits user to predefine different pool and spa water
temperatures, and to prevent tampering by locking out controls using a pass code.
Corrosion-Proof, UV-Protected Cabinet
Quiet Operation… Through the use of a scroll compressor and optimally-sized fan blade.
