Frequently Asked Questions ❓
General Operation
Q: How long does the I-PAC+ 22 take to heat my pool initially?
A: Heat-up time depends on pool volume, starting temperature, and ambient conditions. For a typical 60m³ pool with a 10°C temperature rise, expect approximately 24-30 hours in moderate weather (15°C ambient). Always use a pool cover to minimize heat loss and reduce heating time by 30-50%. See the Heat-Up Time Estimates section above for detailed calculations.
Q: Should I run the heat pump in Boost or Whisper mode?
A: Use Boost mode for initial pool heating, seasonal start-up, or cold weather recovery when you need maximum heating capacity (27.5kW). Switch to Whisper mode for daily temperature maintenance once your pool is at target temperature – it’s quieter (3-9 dB(A) reduction), still provides 80% capacity, and maintains comfort efficiently while you swim.
Q: Can I use the heat pump with a saltwater pool?
A: Yes! The titanium heat exchanger is specifically designed for excellent corrosion resistance and is fully compatible with salt water pools up to 35,000 ppm salt content. Always maintain water chemistry within specifications (see Installation Requirements section) to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
Q: What is the actual noise level, and will it disturb my neighbors?
A: In Whisper mode at 10 meters distance, the I-PAC+ 22 operates at just 23-34.4 dB(A) – quieter than a library (30 dB) and similar to rustling leaves. This is 9-11 dB(A) quieter than traditional heat pumps. Most users report it’s virtually unnoticeable, especially with typical garden background noise. For reference, normal conversation is 60 dB(A).
Installation & Requirements
Q: Can I install this myself, or do I need a professional?
A: Professional installation is essential and required for warranty validity. The unit requires:
- Qualified F-Gas registered technician (for refrigerant handling)
- Certified electrician (for 3-phase electrical connection)
- Experienced pool equipment installer (for plumbing integration) The manual provides comprehensive guidance, but this is not a DIY installation.
Q: What size pool is the I-PAC+ 22 suitable for?
A: The 27.5kW I-PAC+ 22 is ideal for pools with:
- Surface area: 90-140 m² (970-1,500 sq ft)
- Volume: 50-80 m³ (11,000-17,600 gallons) For smaller pools, consider the IPT16ALY (21kW). For larger pools, the IPT28BLY (36kW) may be more appropriate. Use a pool cover and consider your climate, desired temperature, and swimming season length when sizing.
Q: Will this work with my existing pool pump and filter?
A: Yes, the I-PAC+ 22 integrates into existing pool systems. It requires water flow of 10-12 m³/h, which most standard pool pumps provide. A bypass valve (included in installation) allows fine-tuning of flow rate. The unit includes P1/P2 terminals for synchronization with time-clock controlled pumps, so the heat pump can override pump-off periods when heating is needed.
Q: Do I need to upgrade my electrical supply for 3-phase?
A: Most UK commercial properties and many rural residential properties already have 3-phase supply. If you have single-phase domestic supply, contact your electricity provider about upgrading to 3-phase, or consider the single-phase IPT22ALY model (same heating capacity, requires 230V/20A supply). A qualified electrician can advise on your specific situation.
Efficiency & Running Costs
Q: How much does it cost to run compared to a gas heater?
A: The I-PAC+ 22 with COP 10.3 is dramatically more efficient than gas heating. With UK average energy prices:
- Heat Pump (I-PAC+ 22): £200-£400 per season
- Gas Boiler: £600-£1,200 per season
- Electric Heater: £2,000-£4,000 per season
You could save £400-£800 annually compared to gas, and up to £1,800+ compared to electric heating. Actual savings depend on pool size, usage, and cover use.
Q: What is COP and why does it matter?
A: COP (Coefficient of Performance) measures efficiency. A COP of 10.3 means the heat pump delivers 10.3 units of heat for every 1 unit of electricity consumed. It’s like getting energy from thin air (because it extracts heat from the ambient air). The I-PAC+ 22’s exceptional COP of 10.3 at 50% speed makes it over twice as efficient as standard heat pumps (COP 5.0) and vastly more efficient than gas or electric heating.
Q: Does efficiency drop in cold weather?
A: Yes, all air source heat pumps are less efficient in colder temperatures, but the I-PAC+ 22 maintains good performance. At 27°C ambient: COP up to 15.0. At 15°C ambient: COP around 7.5. Even in cold weather, it’s still far more efficient than traditional heating methods. The extended operating range (-10°C to 43°C) means it continues working when others won’t.
Features & Control
Q: How does the Wi-Fi control work? Is there a subscription?
A: Wi-Fi control is included at no additional cost with no subscription fees. Simply download the free app (iOS/Android), connect the heat pump to your home Wi-Fi network (press power button 3 seconds), and control remotely. You can adjust temperature, switch modes, view pool temperature, and monitor system status from anywhere with internet connection. Perfect for pre-heating before arriving home.
Q: Can the heat pump cool my pool in summer?
A: Yes! The I-PAC+ 22 features multi-function operation including cooling mode (11.9kW cooling capacity). If your pool overheats in hot summer weather (can happen in shallow pools or with dark liners), simply switch to cool mode to reduce water temperature. You can also set Auto mode, which automatically heats or cools to maintain your target temperature year-round.
Q: What happens during power cuts?
A: When power is restored, the heat pump will automatically restart operation based on your last settings. The system remembers your configuration. Important: After a power cut, the heat pump may restart without warning, so ensure the mains isolator is accessible and out of reach of children. During electrical storms, it’s recommended to switch off at the mains to protect electronic components.
Maintenance & Warranty
Q: What maintenance is required?
A: The I-PAC+ 22 is relatively low-maintenance:
- Monthly: Check water chemistry, inspect for leaks
- Seasonally: Clean air fins with soft brush, verify condensate drainage
- Annually: Professional service recommended
- Major Service: F-Gas registered technician required for refrigerant system work
Always maintain pool water chemistry within specifications (pH 7.2-7.8) as this is essential for warranty validity.
Q: What warranty is included?
A: The I-PAC+ 22 comes with 5-year manufacturer’s warranty covering parts and labor with on-site service. This comprehensive warranty demonstrates Dantherm’s confidence in product quality. Warranty requires:
- Professional installation by qualified technicians

- Regular maintenance as outlined in manual
Q: Do I need to winterize if I keep my pool heated all year?
A: No, if you’re running the heat pump continuously through winter to maintain pool temperature, winterization isn’t necessary. The unit includes automatic frost protection (Ed code) that runs brief heating cycles when in standby to prevent ice buildup. However, if you won’t be using the pool and want to shut down the system during freezing weather, proper winterization is mandatory to prevent frost damage (which voids warranty).
Q: What if something goes wrong? How do I troubleshoot?
A: The heat pump displays error codes on the control panel to diagnose issues:
- E3: No water flow – check pool pump is running and valves are open
- E4: Three-phase rotation protection – electrician must verify wiring
- E5: Voltage out of range – check power supply voltage
- E6: Low water flow – check flow rate and clean filter
- Eb: Ambient temperature out of range (below -10°C or above 43°C)
For any error code you can’t resolve, contact your installer or the service support team at +44 (0)1621 856611 (option 4). Never attempt internal repairs yourself – only F-Gas registered technicians should work on the refrigerant system.
