⚠️ Important Operating Guidelines

Maximize Performance & Longevity:

Water Flow is Critical: Always run your pool pump BEFORE starting the heat pump, and keep it running throughout the heating cycle. Insufficient water flow triggers protection codes and can damage the heat exchanger.

Use Recommended Flow Rates: 4-6 m³/hour for optimal performance. Too little flow causes high pressure alarms; too much flow reduces heating efficiency.

Pool Covers Save Money: An insulated pool cover can reduce heating costs by 50-70% by preventing overnight heat loss. The system works harder heating uncovered pools.

Winterization Prevents Damage: If temperatures drop below 2°C and the system isn’t running, drain all water from the heat exchanger completely. Freeze damage isn’t covered by warranty.

Regular Filter Cleaning: Clean your pool filter every 2-4 weeks. Dirty filters reduce flow rates, triggering protection codes and reducing efficiency.

Professional Servicing: Annual inspection by a qualified technician maintains warranty coverage and ensures optimal performance.

🎓 Understanding COP (Coefficient of Performance)

What Does COP Mean for Your Running Costs?

COP measures how efficiently the heat pump converts electricity into heat. The AXR17’s COP of 7.5 means:

For every 1kW of electricity consumed, you get 7.5kW of heat output.

Real-World Example:

• Electricity cost: £0.24 per kWh (UK average)
• Heat pump running at 2kW electrical input
• Heat output: 15kW (2kW x 7.5 COP)
• Cost per hour: £0.48
• Heat generated: 15kWh worth
• Equivalent electric heater cost: £3.60 per hour
• Your savings: £3.12 per hour (87% cheaper) 💷

A typical 50m³ pool requiring 8 hours of heating per day during the season:

• Heat pump annual cost: ~£350-450
• Electric heater annual cost: ~£2,800-3,500
• Annual savings: ~£2,400-3,000 💰

The higher the COP, the lower your running costs. The AXR17’s inverter technology maintains high COP values across a wide temperature range, unlike fixed-speed competitors.

🌡️ Temperature Control & Settings

Precise Comfort Control:

Adjust pool temperature from 18°C to 40°C in 0.5°C increments. The digital display shows both inlet and outlet water temperatures in real-time, letting you monitor heating progress.

Recommended Temperatures:

• Leisurely swimming: 26-28°C 🏊
• Active swimming/exercise: 24-26°C
• Children’s pools: 28-30°C 👶
• Therapy/spa use: 32-40°C
• Energy-saving overnight: -1°C from daytime setting

The thermostat maintains your chosen temperature automatically. Once reached, the inverter reduces output to minimal power consumption, just replacing heat loss.

Heating Time Estimates (50m³ pool, 15°C ambient):

• From 15°C to 25°C: ~30-40 hours first heat
• Daily maintenance heating: 2-4 hours
• With pool cover: Reduce times by 40-50%
• Turbo mode: Reduce times by 20%

🔐 Security & Child Safety Features
