Why Choose the InverX IXR110VT Vertical Heat Pump? 💡
Revolutionary TurboSilence Technology™
The game-changing patented TurboSilence Tech control system achieves what was previously impossible: combining powerful “turbo” heating performance with impressively quiet operation. Unlike traditional heat pumps that compromise between power and noise, the InverX delivers both simultaneously through intelligent inverter compressor control and optimised heat exchange technology.
Intelligent Turbo Boost Mode 🚀
When you need rapid heating at season start or after periods of non-use, simply activate the InverTurbo mode with one button press. The heat pump operates at 120% capacity, delivering an extra 20% heating power to bring your pool to temperature quickly. Once reached, the system intelligently scales back to 20-100% capacity to maintain temperature efficiently – typically running at just 50% capacity during normal operation.
Space-Maximising Vertical Configuration
The vertical design is a game-changer for installations with limited floor space:
- Dramatically reduces horizontal footprint – Ideal for tight equipment rooms
- Utilises vertical space efficiently – Perfect where ground area is restricted
- Commercial-grade 3-phase power – Stable, reliable operation for demanding applications
- Maintains full performance – No compromise on heating capability despite compact size
Exceptional Energy Efficiency 💰
Energy optimisation is at the heart of the InverX design. With Coefficient of Performance (COP) ratings reaching up to 16.1 in optimal conditions, this means:
- For every 1kW of electricity consumed, up to 16.1kW of heat is delivered to your pool
- Significant cost savings compared to gas boilers or electric heaters
- Variable speed operation adapts power output to actual heating demand
- Operates efficiently even in ambient temperatures as low as -15°C

⚠️ Important Notes:
- *Heat-up times are estimates based on 40kW continuous output in moderate ambient conditions (15-20°C air temperature)
- Times shown are for covered pools – uncovered pools will take significantly longer
- Turbo Mode (120% capacity) can reduce initial heat-up time by approximately 15-20%
- Actual performance varies based on ambient air temperature, wind conditions, pool insulation, and cover usage
- Heat-up times assume minimal heat loss – use a quality pool cover to maximise efficiency
Heat-Up Time Calculation Formula
For custom pool sizes, use this formula: Time (hours) = (Pool Volume in m³ × Temperature Rise in °C × 1.16) ÷ Heat Pump kW Rating
Example: 150m³ pool, 8°C temperature rise, 40kW heat pump: (150 × 8 × 1.16) ÷ 40 = 34.8 hours (approximately 1.5 days)

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
General Operation
Q: What size pool is this heat pump suitable for? A: The IXR110VT 40kW model is designed for large commercial pools between 120-180 cubic metres (120,000-180,000 litres). For reference, a typical 25m × 12m commercial training pool at 1.5m average depth is approximately 450m³, so multiple units or a larger model would be required for such facilities.
Q: How long does it take to heat my pool? A: Heat-up time depends on pool volume, desired temperature rise, ambient conditions, and pool cover usage. As a guide, expect 17-19 hours to raise 120,000 litres by 5°C in moderate conditions with a pool cover. Using Turbo Mode can reduce this by 15-20%. See our heat-up time table above for detailed estimates.
Q: Can this heat pump operate year-round in the UK climate? A: Yes! The InverX IXR110VT operates efficiently in ambient temperatures from -15°C to +43°C. It will continue heating even on cold winter days, though efficiency decreases as outdoor temperature drops. For optimal year-round performance, we recommend a well-insulated pool with a quality cover.
Q: What is Turbo Mode and when should I use it? A: Turbo Mode (InverTurbo Technology) operates the heat pump at 120% capacity, delivering 48kW of heating power for rapid pool warm-up. Use it at the start of the season or after periods of non-use to quickly bring the pool to temperature. Once achieved, the system automatically adjusts to normal inverter mode (20-100% capacity) for efficient temperature maintenance.
Installation & Technical
Q: Do I need 3-phase power for this heat pump? A: Yes, the IXR110VT requires 3-phase power (380-415V / 50Hz). This is standard for commercial facilities but not typically available in residential properties. If your facility doesn’t have 3-phase power, consider the 1-phase models in the InverX range or consult an electrician about power upgrade options.
Q: Can I install this heat pump myself? A: No. Due to the commercial capacity, 3-phase electrical requirements, and refrigerant handling, professional installation by qualified technicians with appropriate certifications is essential and legally required. Improper installation voids warranty and creates safety hazards.
Q: What maintenance is required? A: Regular maintenance includes: cleaning the air intake filter monthly during heavy use, checking water flow and connections, winterising if not in continuous use, and annual professional service. The heat pump includes smart alerts to remind you of maintenance tasks. Always use a qualified technician for refrigerant-related service.
Q: How much space do I need for installation? A: The vertical design requires just 703mm × 555mm of floor space, but you must allow adequate clearances for airflow: 2000mm in front, 2500mm above, 500mm on each side, and 300mm at the rear. Total footprint including clearances is approximately 3m × 2m.
Performance & Efficiency
Q: What does COP mean and why is it important? A: COP (Coefficient of Performance) is the ratio of heat output to electricity input. A COP of 16.1 means for every 1kW of electricity used, the heat pump delivers 16.1kW of heat to your pool. Higher COP = greater efficiency and lower running costs. The InverX achieves exceptional COPs through inverter technology and intelligent controls.
Q: How much will it cost to run this heat pump? A: Running costs vary based on pool size, desired temperature, ambient conditions, and usage patterns. For a 150,000-litre pool with moderate usage and good pool cover, expect £800-1,200 per heating season in the UK – approximately 80% less than gas or electric alternatives. Use our heat-up time calculator to estimate specific costs for your facility.
Q: Will this heat pump work in cold weather? A: Yes! The InverX operates down to -15°C ambient air temperature, though efficiency decreases as temperature drops. The inverter technology and intelligent defrost system ensure reliable operation even in challenging conditions. For best cold-weather performance, ensure adequate clearances for airflow and consider sheltering from harsh winds.
Q: Can I heat multiple pools with one heat pump? A: With appropriate hydraulic design and controls, one heat pump can potentially serve multiple smaller pools. However, this requires careful calculation of combined heating load, intelligent flow controls, and professional hydraulic design. Consult a pool heating specialist for multi-pool applications.
Smart Features & Controls
Q: Does the WiFi app require a subscription? A: No! The built-in WiFi module and smart user app are included at no additional cost with no ongoing subscription fees. Simply connect the heat pump to your facility’s WiFi network and download the free app to gain full remote control and monitoring capabilities.
Q: Can I control the heat pump if I’m away from the facility? A: Absolutely! Once connected to WiFi, you can control and monitor your heat pump from anywhere in the world using the smartphone app. Adjust temperature, switch modes, view performance data, and receive maintenance alerts remotely – perfect for multi-site facility managers.
Q: Can I set heating schedules to match pool opening hours? A: Yes! The smart controls allow you to create detailed heating schedules aligned with your facility’s operating hours. Program different temperatures for different times of day, set economy modes during closure periods, and optimise energy usage based on booking patterns.
