Frequently Asked Questions 🙋
General Operation
How long does it take to heat my pool? Heat-up time depends on pool volume, starting temperature, ambient air temperature, and whether you use a cover. For a 60m³ pool with a 10°C temperature rise in 15°C air, expect approximately 50 hours with a cover, or 65 hours without. Using the unit continuously with a good thermal cover will give the fastest results. See the heat-up time tables above for detailed estimates.
What temperature should I set for my pool or hot tub? Typical comfortable temperatures are:
- Swimming pools: 26–28°C (79–82°F)
- Hot tubs/spas: 37–40°C (99–104°F)
- Hydrotherapy: 33–36°C (91–97°F) The heat pump can be set anywhere from 18°C to 40°C depending on your preference.
Can I use this heat pump for a hot tub? Yes! The Comfortline 20kW is excellent for hot tubs and spas. It’s particularly well-suited for larger 6-8 person hot tubs (3,000–4,000 litres). The owner of this product has personally installed this exact model on their own DIY hot tub with excellent results – heating 8 times faster than their previous 3kW electric heater while using 66% less electricity.
Will this work with my existing pool system? Yes, the Comfortline can be integrated with most existing pool circulation systems. You’ll need a circulation pump capable of 8-10 m³/hour flow rate and standard 50mm plumbing. A bypass valve setup is recommended (available separately as an Air Source Connection Kit). It works alongside your existing pool heater if you want backup heating, or it can completely replace electric or gas heaters.
Efficiency & Performance
What does COP mean and why does it matter? COP stands for Coefficient of Performance – it’s the ratio of heat output to electrical energy input. A COP of 10 means you get 10kW of heating for every 1kW of electricity consumed. The Comfortline’s average COP of 10.2 means exceptional efficiency – about 10 times more efficient than a direct electric heater. This translates to dramatically lower running costs.
How much will it cost to run? Running costs depend on your pool size, target temperature, local climate, and electricity rates. As a rough guide, maintaining a 60m³ pool at 28°C throughout a 180-day UK season costs approximately £389 (at £0.30/kWh), compared to £3,240 for a 3kW electric heater – a saving of £2,851 per year. Your actual costs will vary, but savings of 60-88% compared to conventional heating are typical.
Does efficiency drop in cold weather? Yes, heat pump efficiency decreases as ambient air temperature drops – this is normal physics for all heat pumps. However, the Comfortline is designed to maintain good performance even in cooler conditions. At 15°C air temperature (typical UK spring/autumn), it still achieves a COP of 6.5. At 0°C, it continues to operate but at reduced efficiency with automatic defrost cycles. For year-round hot tub use, even in winter, it remains far more efficient than electric heaters.
What is Silence Mode and when should I use it? Silence Mode caps the heat pump at 80% capacity (instead of 100%) and runs the fan and compressor at lower speeds, reducing noise by approximately 7 dB(A). This is ideal for night-time operation or noise-sensitive areas. The trade-off is slightly slower heating, but the quieter operation (comparable to a refrigerator) makes it perfect for residential areas. Most users run Smart Mode during the day and switch to Silence Mode overnight.
Installation & Maintenance
Can I install this myself? The water connections can potentially be installed by a competent DIYer with good plumbing skills, but electrical installation must be performed by a qualified electrician as it requires hard-wiring to a dedicated circuit with RCD protection. The heat pump also needs proper positioning, clearances, and drainage setup. Unless you have both plumbing and electrical qualifications, professional installation is strongly recommended and may be required for warranty coverage.
What maintenance does it need? The Comfortline requires minimal maintenance:
- Keep air intake fins clean and free from debris (monthly visual check)
- Check water filter regularly and clean as needed
- Ensure drainage outlet is clear and functioning
- Inspect electrical connections annually
- Professional refrigerant pressure check every 2-3 years (optional)
- Winter shutdown requires draining water from heat exchanger if not in use
Do I need to drain it in winter? If you’re not using the heat pump during freezing weather, you must drain all water from the heat exchanger to prevent freeze damage (not covered by warranty). There’s a drain plug on the inlet pipe for this purpose. If you’re using it for a hot tub in winter, leave it running – the circulating water and automatic defrost function prevent freezing.
How close to my house can I install it? You need at least 2 metres clear space in front of the fan discharge, and 500mm behind the unit. Consider noise – while the Comfortline is quieter than most heat pumps (50 dB(A) at 50% capacity), it’s still audible. Avoid installing directly below bedrooms or near property boundaries where noise could be an issue. The Silence Mode significantly reduces noise for night-time operation.
Technical Questions
Is it compatible with saltwater pools? Yes! The titanium spiral heat exchanger is specifically designed for saltwater compatibility up to 3.5% salinity (35g per 1000g water), which covers most residential saltwater pools. Titanium is highly corrosion-resistant and provides superior longevity compared to cupro-nickel exchangers.
What’s the difference between this and a standard on/off heat pump? Standard on/off heat pumps run at 100% capacity whenever they’re on, then turn completely off when temperature is reached – like a light switch. The Comfortline’s inverter technology allows variable speed operation from 20% to 100%, adjusting continuously to match heating demand. This results in:
- 40-80% lower average power consumption
- More stable water temperature (no overshooting)
- 7 dB(A) quieter operation at average loads
- Longer component lifespan (less start/stop stress)
- Higher average seasonal COP
Will it work down to 0°C as claimed? Yes, but with reduced efficiency. At 0°C, the COP drops to approximately 4.6, and the unit will need to run defrost cycles periodically. It will still heat your pool, just more slowly and with higher electricity consumption than in warmer weather. For spring/summer/autumn pool use, this is not a concern. For year-round hot tub heating in cold climates, it remains far more efficient than electric heaters even at 0°C.
What warranty is included?
- Heat exchanger: 5 years (parts only)
- Compressor: 2 years (parts only)
- All other components: 2 years (parts only)
- Casing: 2 years Note that warranty is parts only after the first 12 months. Labour is not covered. Warranty requires proper installation by qualified professionals and proof of annual maintenance.
Troubleshooting
What should I do if it shows an error code? The Comfortline has built-in diagnostics that display error codes on the control panel (E1, E2, P1, etc.). Common issues:
- E3: No water flow – check pump is running and bypass valve is open
- E5: Power supply voltage issue – verify mains voltage is stable
- E6: Insufficient water flow – clean filter, check for blockages
- Ed: Anti-freezing reminder – normal in cold weather, unit is protecting itself Refer to the comprehensive troubleshooting section in the manual (pages 17-18) for complete error code descriptions and solutions.
Why is my heat pump not reaching the set temperature? Several factors can affect performance:
- Pool is too large for the heat pump capacity (check sizing guide)
- No thermal cover, allowing excessive heat loss
- Insufficient water flow rate through heat exchanger
- Ambient air temperature is very low (reducing capacity)
- Heat loss from pool exceeds heating capacity (check for leaks, improve insulation)
- Bypass valve not properly adjusted Check these factors first before assuming a fault.

This is a product that industry professionals trust for their own personal use – and that confidence is reflected in the thousands of satisfied customers using Comfortline heat pumps across the UK and Europe.
Why Inverter Technology Matters 💡
Traditional heat pumps work like a simple on/off switch – they’re either running at 100% capacity or completely off. This creates several problems:
❌ Constantly cycling on and off wastes energy at startup ❌ Temperature overshooting (water gets hotter than you want) ❌ Noisy operation at full power ❌ Faster component wear from frequent start/stop cycles ❌ Poor efficiency at maintaining temperature
The Comfortline’s DC inverter compressor solves all these issues:
✅ Variable speed operation from 20% to 100% capacity ✅ Smart heating: Full power for fast initial heat-up, then throttles down to maintain temperature ✅ Ultra-quiet operation: Average running at 50% capacity produces just 49.6 dB(A) – quieter than a refrigerator ✅ Superior efficiency: Average COP of 10.2 across the season vs. 5.0 for on/off models ✅ Longer component life: Gentle operation with minimal start/stop cycling ✅ Perfect temperature control: No overshooting or undershooting your target
The technology is similar to modern inverter air conditioners and variable-speed heat pumps for home heating – proven, reliable, and dramatically more efficient than older fixed-speed technology.
