❓ Frequently Asked Questions
General Operation
Q: How does a heat pump pool heater work?
A: Unlike traditional heaters that generate heat, the P13X/32 extracts warmth from the ambient air and transfers it to your pool water. The inverter-driven compressor and refrigeration system amplify this heat energy, delivering 6-16 times more heat energy than the electricity consumed. Think of it as a “reverse air conditioner” for your pool.
Q: Can it heat my pool in winter?
A: Yes! The P13X/32 operates effectively down to -15°C ambient temperature, making it suitable for year-round heating in the UK. However, heating performance does decrease in very cold weather (below 5°C), so expect longer heat-up times and higher running costs in winter months. For optimal winter heating, we strongly recommend a pool cover to minimize heat loss.
Q: Does it also cool my pool in summer?
A: Yes! The unit includes automatic cooling mode. If your pool gets too warm (above 30°C) in hot weather, the P13X/32 can reverse the cycle to cool your water, providing comfortable swimming temperatures year-round.
Q: How long does it take to heat my pool initially?
A: Initial heat-up time depends on your pool volume, starting temperature, ambient conditions, and whether you use a cover. For a typical 50m³ pool in spring conditions (15°C ambient), expect 4-6 days without a cover or 3-4 days with a cover. See our detailed heat-up tables above for specific estimates. Once at temperature, the unit maintains warmth easily.
Q: Will it work with a salt water pool?
A: Absolutely! The titanium heat exchanger is specifically designed to resist corrosion from both chlorinated and salt water systems. This makes the P13X/32 ideal for salt chlorinator pools.
Energy & Efficiency
Q: What is COP and why does it matter?
A: COP (Coefficient of Performance) measures how efficiently the heat pump converts electricity into heat. A COP of 8 means you get 8 kW of heat output for every 1 kW of electricity used. The P13X/32’s COP ranges from 16.0 in warm conditions to 3.8 in cold weather – significantly more efficient than any other heating method.
Q: How much will it cost to run per month?
A: Running costs vary by season, pool size, and usage. For a typical 50m³ pool with a cover during the May-October season, expect £30-70 per month (£230-315 total for 6 months). Without a cover, costs rise to £45-110 per month (£360-500 for 6 months). This is still 80-85% cheaper than electric heating and 50% cheaper than gas heating.
Q: Should I run it 24/7 or use a timer?
A: The P13X/32’s Smart Mode automatically manages operation, so continuous running is fine. However, you can save money by using the timer function to run primarily during off-peak electricity hours or during the warmest part of the day when the heat pump operates most efficiently. The built-in WiFi app makes scheduling easy.
Q: How much electricity does the P13X/32 use?
A: Power consumption varies from 0.19 kW at minimum output to 1.94 kW at maximum output. On average, expect 1.0-1.5 kW during typical maintenance heating (Smart Mode). For perspective, this is less than a kettle and far less than traditional electric heaters.
Installation & Setup
Q: Can I install it myself?
A: While mechanically capable individuals can handle the water connections, electrical installation must be performed by a qualified electrician to comply with UK regulations and maintain warranty coverage. The plumbing is straightforward (50mm slip-fit PVC connections), but proper electrical installation, earthing, and RCD protection are critical for safety.
Q: How close to my pool does it need to be?
A: Ideally within 7.5 metres. You can install up to 15 metres away, but longer pipe runs increase heat loss (approximately 0.6 kW per 30m of total pipe run for every 5°C difference between water and ground temperature). This translates to 3-5% longer running times for extended installations.
Q: Can it be installed indoors?
A: While outdoor installation is most common and recommended, indoor installation is possible in well-ventilated spaces. The unit requires substantial air volume (continuously renewed) to operate efficiently. Indoor installations need proper ducting to prevent re-circulation of cooled exhaust air. Consult the full installation manual for indoor specifications.
Q: Do I need a bypass valve?
A: Yes, highly recommended! A bypass allows you to isolate the heat pump for winterization, servicing, or if you need to run the pool pump without heating (saving electricity). Quick-disconnect couplings at the inlet and outlet also make seasonal removal easier.
Q: What about the condensation?
A: The heat pump cools air by 4-5°C during operation, which causes water condensation on the evaporator coils (similar to an air conditioner). In humid conditions, this can be several litres per hour. The unit includes a condensation drain fitting (20mm barb) that should be connected to drainage via vinyl tubing. This is normal operation, not a water leak.
WiFi & Smart Control
Q: How does the WiFi app work?
A: Download the free NorsupOne app (iOS/Android), scan the QR code on the unit, connect to your home WiFi, and you’re ready! The app allows you to monitor and adjust temperature, set heating schedules, enable Silent Mode, and receive maintenance alerts from anywhere with internet access.
Q: What if my WiFi doesn’t reach my pool area?
A: The heat pump can operate perfectly without WiFi using the wired touchscreen controller. WiFi simply adds remote control convenience. If desired, consider a WiFi extender or mesh network to improve coverage in your garden.
Q: Does it work with smart home systems?
A: The unit is SmartGrid-ready, meaning it can integrate with home energy management systems. This allows coordination with solar panels, time-of-use tariffs, or whole-home automation systems.
Noise & Neighbors
Q: How quiet is it really?
A: Very quiet! At 10 metres distance, the P13X/32 produces just 22-32 dB(A) in normal operation – comparable to rustling leaves or a whisper. Silent Mode reduces this to 22 dB(A), making it barely audible. At 1 metre, it’s 42-52 dB(A), similar to a quiet library. This makes it neighborhood-friendly and suitable for installations near bedrooms or patios.
Q: Can I run it at night without disturbing neighbors?
A: Absolutely! Use Silent Mode or schedule the timer to operate at reduced fan speed during nighttime hours. The variable-speed inverter technology is inherently quieter than traditional fixed-speed heat pumps.
Q: What causes the noise?
A: The two main noise sources are the variable-speed fan motor and the compressor. The P13X/32’s premium components (Hitachi rotary compressor and EC fan motor) are specifically selected for quiet operation. Proper installation on vibration-dampening pads further reduces noise transmission.
Maintenance & Longevity
Q: What maintenance is required?
A: Minimal! The P13X/32 is designed for low-maintenance operation:
- Monthly: Visually inspect for debris, clear any leaves from air intake
- Every 3 months: Check water flow rate, clean pool filter
- Annually: Professional service check of refrigerant pressures and electrical connections
- Seasonally: Winterize if not operating year-round (drain water, fit winter cover)
Q: How long will it last?
A: With proper maintenance, expect 12-15 years of reliable service. The titanium heat exchanger and premium Hitachi compressor are built for longevity. The 10-year warranty on the compressor and heat exchanger demonstrates the manufacturer’s confidence in durability.
Q: What about winter – do I need to do anything special?
A: If you’re not heating your pool in winter, follow these steps:
- Drain all water from heat pump and pipes using drain plugs
- Fit the included winter cover to protect from weather
- Disconnect electrical power (or use the controller to set “Winter Mode” if available)
- Check in spring that all water has drained and there’s no ice buildup before restarting
Q: Do I need to add antifreeze?
A: No! Never add antifreeze or chemicals to the heat exchanger. The unit has built-in anti-freeze protection that automatically activates if water temperature drops too low. Proper draining for winter is all that’s needed.
Troubleshooting & Warranty
Q: What if something goes wrong?
A: The colour touchscreen displays error codes with explanations. The controller manual (see Downloads section) includes a comprehensive troubleshooting guide. For persistent issues, contact your installer or authorized Norsup service center. The unit logs error history for diagnostic purposes.
Q: What does the warranty cover?
A:
- 5 years: Complete heat pump unit (parts and labor terms apply)
