Electroheat MKIV Heat Pump for Pools and Spas from Waterco

Waterco launches Electroheat MKIV heat pump
Compact - but doesn't sacrifice performance

Waterco Ltd has expanded its Electroheat heat pump range - and the newest model, the Electroheat MKIV, combines compactness and performance to effectively heat both spas and domestic pools.

"The Electroheat MKIV is compact, but it certainly packs a punch. It might be the smallest model within the Electroheat family, but it doesn't sacrifice performance," says Adam Shelley, Zane Solar & Heating Manager.

"So whether it's a two-person spa, a swim spa, plunge pool or a domestic pool, this heat pump is an ideal heating solution."

The Electroheat MKIV incorporates dual coil titanium heat exchanger technology, which provides greater surface area for increased heat transfer performance plus ensures total protection against erosion and corrosion.

In addition, the MKIV has been built with ozone friendly R410A refrigerant, which is environmentally friendly and also improves the heat pump's performance.

To suit both spas and pools, there are four models - the 12kW, 15kW, 19kW and 23kW. And all of the models operate down to 10 degrees Celsius.

Flexibility is a key feature of the MKIV, and it has a compact design to enable greater installation flexibility.

The Electroheat MKIV has also been designed with ease of use and maintenance firmly in mind. For example, the LED control panel features a continuous digital pool temperature display and incorporates a self diagnosis system. In the event of a problem, the control panel will display diagnostic error codes.

Key features of the Electroheat MKIV:

• High density dual coil titanium heat exchangers: These provide greater surface area for increased heat transfer performance and have a longer life expectancy than standard copper heat exchangers. Titanium offers total protection against erosion and corrosion; it is resistant to chlorinated water, ozone, iodine, baquacil, bromine and salt water
• R410A refrigerant gas
• Temperature management and self diagnosis
• Compact dimensions: 117cm (W) x 32cm (L) x 69cm (H)
• Scroll compressor: The Electroheat MKIII is powered by Scroll compressors, the quietest, most powerful, energy efficient compressors on the market.
• Weather proof cabinet: The heat pump's cabinet is constructed of heavy-duty UV-resistant ABS body panels that are highly resistant to rust, corrosion and deterioration.
• Auto defrost control: Reduces frost on the evaporator
• Auto pressure switch: Shuts down the system in the event of no water flow
• High/low pressure refrigerant / auto reset: Shuts down the system in the event of high/low refrigerant pressure
• Compressor protection via a time delay: Allows the refrigerant to equalise before the compressor starts/restarts.
