Estimated Heat-Up Times ⏱️

How Long to Heat Your Pool?

These estimates are based on ideal conditions with a covered pool. Actual times vary based on ambient temperature, wind exposure, pool cover usage, and starting water temperature.

Heat-Up Time Calculator

Formula: Time (hours) = (Pool Volume m³ × Temperature Rise °C × 1.16) ÷ 27 kW

Pool Size	Volume	5°C Rise	8°C Rise	10°C Rise
Small	50 m³	~11 hours	~17 hours	~21 hours
Medium	70 m³	~15 hours	~24 hours	~30 hours
Large	90 m³	~19 hours	~31 hours	~39 hours
Extra Large	110 m³	~24 hours	~38 hours	~47 hours

Real-World Heating Examples

Scenario 1: Spring Opening (15°C → 26°C)

• 70 m³ pool requires approximately 33 hours of continuous operation
• With a pool cover: Potentially 20-25% faster

Scenario 2: Weekly Maintenance (24°C → 27°C)

• 70 m³ pool requires approximately 9 hours to recover
• Ideal for weekend heating schedules

Scenario 3: Extended Season (12°C → 22°C)

• 90 m³ pool requires approximately 38 hours of operation
• Best with gradual heating over 2-3 days

⚠️ Important Disclaimer: These are theoretical estimates based on standard calculations. Actual heating times depend on numerous factors including ambient temperature, humidity, wind speed, sun exposure, pool cover usage, and insulation quality. Heat pumps work most efficiently when ambient temperatures are above 15°C.

Frequently Asked Questions ❓

1. What size pool is the InverX Vertical 27kW suitable for?

The 27kW model is ideal for pools between 60-120 m³ (approximately 13,000-26,000 gallons). For a typical 10m × 5m × 1.5m pool (75 m³), this heat pump provides excellent heating performance with reasonable warm-up times. Smaller pools will heat faster, while pools above 120 m³ may benefit from a larger capacity model or extended heating times.

2. How quiet is the InverX compared to standard heat pumps?

The InverX features revolutionary TurboSilence® Technology that makes it significantly quieter than conventional heat pumps of similar capacity. The twin-rotary compressor and advanced sound dampening reduce operational noise by approximately 50% compared to standard models. While specific decibel ratings vary with operating conditions, users consistently report that the InverX is comparable to a quiet conversation or less intrusive than a standard refrigerator.

3. Can I use this heat pump with a saltwater pool?

Yes, absolutely! The InverX features a premium titanium heat exchanger specifically designed to resist corrosion from saltwater, chlorine, and other pool chemicals. The titanium construction ensures long-term durability and efficiency even in harsh chemical environments, making it perfect for both traditional chlorine pools and saltwater systems.

4. How does the WiFi control work, and is it reliable?

The integrated WiFi module connects directly to your home network (2.4GHz), allowing control via the free smartphone app (iOS/Android). You can monitor temperature, adjust settings, create schedules, and receive alerts from anywhere with internet access. The system works independently, so even if WiFi is temporarily unavailable, the heat pump continues operating according to its last settings. The touchscreen on the unit provides full manual control as well.

5. What’s the minimum temperature this heat pump can operate in?

The InverX Vertical 27kW can operate in ambient temperatures as low as -10°C, though optimal efficiency occurs between 15°C and 35°C. Below 10°C, heating capacity reduces and the unit requires more frequent defrost cycles, which increases operating time. For the best performance and efficiency, heat pumps work most effectively in spring, summer, and autumn conditions.

6. Does this model require 3-phase power, or will standard household electricity work?

This model (IXR66V/IXR60V) operates on standard single-phase power (220-240V / 50Hz), making it compatible with typical residential electrical systems. A dedicated circuit with appropriate amperage rating and RCD protection is required. Installation must be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local electrical codes.

7. How long does it take to heat my pool from cold?

Heat-up time depends on multiple factors: pool volume, starting temperature, target temperature, ambient conditions, and pool cover usage. As a general guide, a 70 m³ pool might take 24-48 hours to warm from 15°C to 26°C under typical spring conditions with a cover. The InverX’s “turbo” mode accelerates heating significantly compared to standard heat pumps. Using a pool cover can reduce heating time by 20-40%.

8. What maintenance does the InverX require?

The InverX is designed for minimal maintenance:

• Monthly: Check and clean air intake filter, inspect for obstructions
• Quarterly: Clean evaporator coil fins (compressed air or soft brush)
• Seasonally: Inspect electrical connections, check refrigerant lines
• Annually: Professional service recommended for optimal performance
• Winterization: Follow shutdown procedures if not using during winter

The smart diagnostic system alerts you to potential issues before they become problems, helping prevent costly repairs.

9. Can I install this heat pump myself, or do I need a professional?

While mechanically-inclined individuals may handle some aspects, professional installation is strongly recommended and often required to maintain warranty coverage. Installation involves electrical work (requiring a licensed electrician), plumbing integration, proper positioning for optimal airflow, and refrigerant system checks. Incorrect installation can reduce efficiency, void warranty, and create safety hazards.

10. What warranty coverage comes with the InverX Vertical 27kW?

Warranty coverage varies by region and retailer. Typically, InverX heat pumps include:

• 2-5 years comprehensive parts and labor warranty
• Extended compressor warranty (often 3-7 years)
• Warranty registration required within specified timeframe
• Professional installation may be required for warranty validity
• Coverage details available from your authorized dealer

Contact Parts4Tubs directly for specific warranty information applicable to your purchase.

11. How does the vertical design compare to horizontal models?

Advantages of Vertical Design:

• 60% smaller horizontal footprint – perfect for narrow spaces
• Easier integration in tight equipment rooms
• Simplified installation against walls
• Reduced ground-level space requirements
• Same heating capacity as horizontal equivalents

Considerations:

• Requires adequate overhead clearance (2m minimum)
• May be more visible depending on placement
• Slightly different airflow pattern

The vertical configuration delivers identical performance and efficiency to horizontal models while dramatically reducing ground space requirements.

12. Is the R32 refrigerant environmentally friendly, and can it be serviced easily?

Yes! R32 refrigerant offers significant environmental advantages:

• Lower Global Warming Potential (GWP) – 675 vs. 2088 for R410A
• More energy efficient than older refrigerants
• Requires less refrigerant charge for same capacity
• Becoming the new industry standard

R32 is now widely available, and most qualified HVAC technicians are trained to service R32 systems. The InverX comes factory-charged and sealed, requiring minimal refrigerant service under normal operation.
