🎯 Why Choose the Aqua Inverter Turbo-Pro AXR26?

Three Game-Changing Features That Set This Apart:

✅ Triple Operating Modes – Switch between Turbo (26kW max power), Smart (intelligent optimization), and Silence (ultra-quiet night operation) to match your exact needs

✅ Extreme Temperature Performance – Operates reliably from -15°C to 43°C ambient temperature, meaning year-round heating even in harsh UK winters

✅ Full WiFi Control – Monitor and control your pool temperature from anywhere using iOS/Android app – adjust settings from your sofa, office, or while on holiday

💪 Unmatched Heating Power for Serious Pool Owners

21.5kW Standard Output | 25.5kW Turbo Boost

This isn’t your average heat pump. The AXR26 delivers professional-grade heating capacity that makes a real difference:

🔥 Fast Heat-Up Times – Turbo mode provides 120% capacity (26kW peak) when you need rapid temperature increases for unexpected pool parties or weekend swimming

🔥 Consistent Performance – Smart mode intelligently adjusts from 20-100% capacity based on ambient conditions, maintaining perfect water temperature automatically

🔥 Silent Night Heating – Silence mode operates at just 44.4 dB(A) at 50% capacity (quieter than a normal conversation), so you can heat your pool overnight without disturbing neighbors

Suitable Pool Volumes: 55m³ to 100m³ (ideal for pools 8m x 4m x 1.5m or similar)

🌟 Exceptional Energy Efficiency = Lower Running Costs

COP up to 16.0 (Coefficient of Performance at optimal conditions)

What does this mean for you? For every 1kW of electricity consumed, you get up to 16kW of heating output – that’s 1,600% efficiency! 💰

Real-World Performance at 15°C Air Temperature:

• Heating Capacity: 14.8kW (Smart mode) / 17.5kW (Turbo mode)
• COP: 5.4 (meaning 540% efficiency even in cooler conditions)
• COP at 50% Speed: 6.8 (ultra-efficient for maintaining temperature)

What this means: Heat your pool for pennies compared to traditional gas or electric heaters. Many customers report 70-80% reductions in heating costs! 📉

🔇 Whisper-Quiet Operation – Heat Without the Noise

Industry-Leading Noise Reduction Technology

Forget those noisy old heat pumps that sound like jet engines. The Aqua Inverter Turbo-Pro Silence features advanced acoustic engineering:

🔧 Installation Requirements & Considerations

Electrical Installation (Must be completed by qualified electrician)

⚡ Power Supply: 230V single-phase, 50Hz with dedicated circuit

⚡ Circuit Protection: 24.5A circuit breaker + 30mA RCD (residual current device)

⚡ Cable Specification: 3 x 6mm² power cable (up to 10m run; increase for longer distances)

⚡ Earthing: Proper earthing connection mandatory for safety

⚡ Hard-Wired: Must be hard-wired; plug connection not permitted

Location & Spacing Requirements

📍 Outdoor Installation Only – Well-ventilated area required

📍 Clearances: Minimum 600mm front, 300mm sides/rear for airflow and maintenance

📍 Foundation: Solid concrete base or anti-vibration mounting pad recommended

📍 Condensate Drainage: Consider condensation water discharge location

📍 Avoid: Enclosed spaces, areas with poor ventilation, recirculation zones

Plumbing Connections

💧 Water Flow Rate: 8-10 m³/h required (check your pump specification)

💧 Pipe Distance: Ideally ≤10m between pool and heat pump for efficiency

💧 Connection Size: 48.3mm water unions (hard pipe connection required)

💧 Bypass Installation: Install bypass valves for system flexibility and winterization

💧 Filter Position: Heat pump should be after filter in circulation loop

Professional Installation Recommended

While experienced DIYers may handle plumbing, electrical work must be completed by a certified electrician according to UK wiring regulations (BS 7671). Professional heat pump installers ensure:

• Correct electrical specifications and safety devices
• Optimal location for performance and noise
• Proper water flow rates and bypass configuration
• System commissioning and testing
• Warranty compliance

❄️ Winter Operation & Winterization

Operating in Cold Weather

This heat pump is designed for UK climate with reliable operation down to -15°C:

🔷 Automatic Defrost Cycle – Prevents ice buildup on evaporator coils

🔷 Anti-Freeze Protection – Built-in safeguards prevent internal water freezing

🔷 Cold Weather Performance – Maintains heating even when temperatures drop

Important: When operating below 2°C, ensure continuous water circulation to prevent freezing damage.

Winterization for Off-Season

If closing your pool for winter:

1. Power off the heat pump at the electrical supply
2. Unscrew water inlet union to completely drain internal water
3. Leave unions open to prevent trapped moisture
4. Cover unit (optional) for additional protection
5. Store manual and accessories safely

Critical: Failure to drain water can result in freeze damage to the titanium heat exchanger (not covered by warranty).

🌍 Environmental Benefits

Choosing a Heat Pump is an Eco-Friendly Decision 🌱

✨ R32 Refrigerant – Low global warming potential (GWP), environmentally responsible

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How long does it take to heat my pool?

A: Heating time depends on pool volume, starting temperature, target temperature, and ambient conditions. As a general guide:

• 60m³ pool from 15°C to 28°C: 3-4 days (with cover)
• 80m³ pool from 20°C to 26°C: 2-3 days (with cover)
• Using Turbo mode accelerates heating by 20%

Always use a pool cover to reduce heat loss and dramatically improve heating times!

Q: Will this work during a British winter?

A: Absolutely! The AXR26 operates reliably from -15°C to +43°C. However, efficiency decreases in very cold weather (as with all air source heat pumps). For year-round swimming, consider a pool cover and realistic temperature expectations during winter months.

Q: How much does it cost to run?

A: Running costs vary based on electricity rates, pool size, target temperature, and ambient temperature. Example:

• Summer maintenance (Smart mode, 4-6 hrs/day): £2-5/day
• Spring/autumn heating: £8-15/day
• Electricity rate: Assuming 24p/kWh average

Most owners report 60-80% savings compared to traditional gas heaters!

Q: Is professional installation required?

A: Electrical installation MUST be completed by a qualified electrician. Plumbing can be DIY if you’re experienced, but professional installation is recommended for optimal performance, warranty compliance, and peace of mind.

Q: Can I use this with a saltwater pool?

A: Yes! The titanium heat exchanger is fully compatible with saltwater chlorination systems, traditional chlorine, bromine, and all standard pool sanitizers.

Q: What size pool is this suitable for?

A: Recommended for pools 55-100m³. For example:

• 8m x 4m x 1.7m = 54.4m³ ✅
• 10m x 5m x 1.5m = 75m³ ✅
• 12m x 5m x 1.6m = 96m³ ✅

For smaller pools, consider the AXR21 (17.5kW). For larger pools, look at the AXR32 (27kW).

Q: How quiet is “Silence mode” really?

A: At 44.4 dB(A) from 1 meter, it’s quieter than:

• Normal conversation (60 dB)
• Quiet office (50 dB)
• Light rainfall (50 dB)

At 10 meters (typical neighbor distance), it’s just 20-31 dB(A) – barely audible!

Q: What happens if there’s a power cut?

A: The heat pump has power-off memory. When power returns, it automatically restarts with your previous settings – no need to reprogram!

Q: Do I need to run my pool pump 24/7?

A: No. The heat pump requires water circulation when operating, but doesn’t need to run constantly. Many owners run their filtration pump 12-15 hours daily and heat during off-peak electricity periods. The WiFi app helps you schedule optimal running times.

Q: Can I install this indoors?

A: No. Heat pumps must be installed outdoors in well-ventilated areas. They work by extracting heat from ambient air – enclosed spaces cause recirculation and severely reduce efficiency.
