❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How much will it cost to run my pool with this heat pump?
A: Running costs vary significantly based on pool size, target temperature, ambient conditions, and usage patterns. As a guideline:
- Summer months (June-August): £50-80 per month to maintain 28°C
- Spring/Autumn (April-May, September-October): £120-180 per month
- Year-round heated pools: £800-1,200 annually
The inverter technology means this heat pump is approximately 30% more economical than fixed-speed models. Using the silent mode at night on Economy 7 tariffs can further reduce costs by 20-30%.
Q: Can I install this heat pump myself?
A: While the water connections can be made by a competent DIYer using standard 50mm PVC plumbing, electrical connection must be performed by a qualified electrician registered with a competent person scheme (e.g., NICEIC, NAPIT). The unit requires:
- Dedicated 32A circuit breaker
- 30mA RCD protection
- Minimum 6mm² cable
- Proper earthing and bonding
Professional installation is strongly recommended to ensure warranty validity and compliance with UK building regulations.
Q: How long does it take to heat my pool from cold?
A: Initial heat-up times depend heavily on starting temperature, pool volume, and weather conditions. As a realistic example:
- 80m³ pool from 12°C to 28°C (16°C rise): Approximately 60-75 hours of continuous operation
- Once at temperature: Unit modulates down to maintenance mode, using just 10-20% of maximum power
Pro Tip: Start heating 3-4 days before you plan to use your pool, and always use a thermal cover when not swimming to retain heat.
Q: Will this work during a British winter?
A: Yes, but with reduced efficiency. The P26X/32 operates down to -15°C ambient temperature, but:
- Below 10°C: Efficiency drops (COP 4.0-5.6 vs. summer’s COP 12-16)
- Below 0°C: Defrost cycles become more frequent
- Below -10°C: Heating capacity is significantly reduced
Best Use: This model is ideal for extending your season from April to October. For year-round heated pools in the UK, consider supplementary heating or a larger model during peak winter.
Q: Is the WiFi module included, and does it require a subscription?
A: Yes, the WiFi module comes pre-installed at no extra cost. The NorsupOne app is completely free to use with no subscription fees. You’ll need:
- Home WiFi network (2.4GHz band)
- Smartphone or tablet (iOS 10+ or Android 5.0+)
- Free NorsupOne app (available on App Store and Google Play)
Features include remote temperature control, scheduling, energy monitoring, and push notifications for errors or maintenance needs.
Q: How quiet is “silent mode” really?
A: In silent mode, the P26X/32 measures just 26dB at 10 meters – comparable to rustling leaves or a whisper. For context:
- 26dB: Can barely be heard over ambient outdoor noise
- Below 30dB: Considered suitable for residential areas at night
- Below 40dB: Quieter than most refrigerators
Many customers run silent mode overnight on economy tariffs without any noise complaints from neighbors.
Q: What maintenance does this heat pump require?
A: Regular maintenance is minimal but essential:
Monthly:
- Visual inspection for debris around air intake
- Check condensate drain is flowing freely
Every 3 Months:
- Clean or rinse evaporator fins (hose down gently)
- Check water filter in pool system
- Verify correct water flow rate
Annually (Professional Service Recommended):
- Refrigerant pressure check
- Electrical connections inspection
- Fan motor lubrication
- Controller software update
- Complete system performance test
Cost: Professional annual service typically £80-150.
Q: What’s the difference between this and a cheaper non-inverter heat pump?
A: Inverter vs. non-inverter is a significant difference:
Inverter (This Model):
- ✅ Variable speed 6.8-26kW (adjusts to conditions)
- ✅ 30% more efficient (higher COP across all conditions)
- ✅ Much quieter operation (variable fan speed)
- ✅ Longer lifespan (less on/off cycling stress)
- ✅ More consistent temperature (±0.5°C)
Non-Inverter:
- ❌ Fixed speed 26kW (always 100% or off)
- ❌ Lower average COP (more cycling losses)
- ❌ Noisier (fixed high fan speed)
- ❌ More wear on compressor
- ❌ Temperature swings (±2°C)
Payback: The additional cost of inverter technology typically pays for itself within 2-3 years through reduced electricity bills.
Q: Can this heat pump also cool my pool?
A: Yes! The P26X/32 has reversible operation for pool cooling, which can be useful for:
- Hydrotherapy pools requiring precise cool temperatures
- Hot summers when water temperature exceeds 30°C
- Indoor pools where cooling may be needed year-round
Cooling capacity is approximately 80% of heating capacity (20-22kW range).
Q: What warranty is included?
A: Comprehensive warranty coverage:
- 4 years on complete heat pump unit
- 10 years on compressor
- 10 years on titanium heat exchanger
- 2 years on electronic controls and WiFi module
Conditions: Warranty requires professional installation, annual servicing, and registration within 30 days of purchase. Extended warranty options available.
Q: Will this work with my existing pool system?
A: The P26X/32 is compatible with most pool filtration systems. Requirements:
- Pool pump: Minimum 12m³/h flow rate (most 1HP+ pumps suitable)
- Filter: Any type (sand, cartridge, DE) in good condition
- Pipework: 50mm (2″) diameter or adaptable with reducers
- Space: Clearances listed above available
Special Cases:
- Salt chlorinator systems: ✅ Fully compatible (titanium heat exchanger)
- Ozone systems: ✅ Compatible (install heat pump upstream)
- UV systems: ✅ Compatible (install heat pump upstream)
Q: How does the defrost cycle work?
A: When ambient temperature drops below 5°C and humidity is high, frost can form on the evaporator coils. The automatic defrost cycle:
- Reverses refrigerant flow for 3-8 minutes
- Melts any frost accumulation
- Resumes normal heating operation
Impact: During defrost, heating pauses briefly. In cold weather (below 5°C), defrost cycles may occur every 45-90 minutes. This is normal and automatic – no user intervention required.
Q: Can I use this with an economy electricity tariff?
A: Absolutely! The WiFi controller allows sophisticated scheduling:
- Set heating to run during Economy 7 off-peak hours (typically 00:30-07:30)
- Use silent mode for night operation
- Programmable timer with daily/weekly schedules
- Potential savings: 20-40% on running costs
Tip: Heat the pool overnight and use a good thermal cover during the day to retain heat without running the heat pump during expensive peak hours.
