❓ Frequently Asked Questions
General Operation
Q: How long does it take to heat my pool initially? A: For a typical 100 m³ commercial pool, expect 21-26 hours to raise temperature by 8°C under average spring conditions (15°C ambient). Summer heating is faster. Actual time depends heavily on weather conditions, pool insulation, and whether you use a cover. See our heat-up calculator above for specific scenarios.
Q: How much does it cost to run per day? A: Operating costs vary significantly with weather and usage. As a rough guide, expect £3-8 per day during the heating season for a 100 m³ pool, with costs lowest in warm weather and highest in cold conditions. Using a solar cover can reduce costs by 50-70%.
Q: Why does the COP vary so much? A: COP (Coefficient of Performance) is the ratio of heat output to electrical input. It varies based on the temperature difference between air and water – the smaller the difference, the higher the COP. The Megaline Fi 35 achieves COP 11.46 in ideal conditions (26°C air, 26°C water) but still delivers excellent COP 4.80+ even when air temperature drops to 6°C.
Q: Will it work in winter? A: Yes, the Megaline Fi 35 operates down to -15°C ambient temperature, though efficiency decreases in very cold weather. It’s ideal for extending your pool season into spring and autumn, and can even maintain heated pools in moderate winter climates. Very cold climates may require supplementary heating.
Q: What’s the difference between “Full Inverter” and standard inverter? A: Full Inverter means BOTH the compressor AND fans modulate continuously (20-100% capacity). Standard inverters typically only modulate the compressor. This provides better efficiency, quieter operation, and more precise temperature control.
Installation & Setup
Q: Do I need three-phase power? A: Yes, the Megaline Fi 35 requires three-phase 380-415V electricity supply. This is standard for commercial buildings but may not be available in all residential locations. Single-phase models are not available in this size.
Q: Can I install it myself? A: No. Installation MUST be performed by a qualified professional. It requires proper electrical work (three-phase connection), hydraulic integration, refrigerant system knowledge, and compliance with local building codes. DIY installation will void your warranty.
Q: How close can it be to the pool? A: There’s no minimum distance, but the unit must be installed with proper clearances (1m on all sides and front), adequate drainage, and protection from pool splash. Locate as close as practical to minimize pipe runs, but ensure good ventilation around the unit.
Q: Can it be installed indoors? A: Not recommended. The Megaline Fi 35 is designed for outdoor installation. It exhausts large volumes of cold air and requires excellent ventilation. Indoor installation requires special mechanical room design with adequate air supply/exhaust and is generally only done in large commercial facilities with proper HVAC design.
Q: Do I need a by-pass kit? A: Yes, absolutely essential. The by-pass allows flow adjustment for optimal performance and lets you isolate the heat pump for maintenance without stopping your filtration system. Quality by-pass kits include pressure gauges for precise flow monitoring.
Performance & Efficiency
Q: Why does my heat pump run but the pool isn’t heating? A: Several normal reasons: (1) Inverter is running at very low capacity during mild weather, (2) Pool is losing heat as fast as it’s being added (needs better cover), (3) Target temperature already reached, (4) Defrost cycle active. If none of these apply, check for error codes and verify water flow.
Q: Is it better to run 24/7 or use timers? A: For best efficiency, run continuously during the heating season. The inverter technology modulates down when less heat is needed, using minimal power. Frequent on/off cycling wastes energy and causes wear. Use timers only if you want to avoid heating during specific hours (e.g., off-peak electricity rates).
Q: How can I improve efficiency? A: Top tips: (1) Use a solar cover religiously – reduces heat loss by 70-90%, (2) Maintain proper water chemistry to prevent scale buildup, (3) Keep evaporator fins clean, (4) Ensure adequate water flow through heat pump, (5) Lower your target temperature by 1-2°C, (6) Install heat pump in shade or with sun protection.
Q: Does it really save 80% compared to electric heating? A: Yes, but this figure compares against electric resistive heating (100% efficiency). A COP of 5.0 means the heat pump produces 5 kW of heat for every 1 kW of electricity consumed – an 80% saving. However, savings vary with conditions; COP is highest in warm weather and decreases in cold weather.
Q: Why is my heat pump frosting up? A: Normal in cool, humid conditions (below 10°C with high humidity). The unit automatically defrosts using hot gas reverse cycle. If frosting is excessive or defrost cycles very frequent, check for: restricted airflow, dirty evaporator coils, low refrigerant charge, or excessively cold water temperature.
Features & Control
Q: Do I need WiFi to operate it? A: No. The touchscreen control panel provides full operation capabilities. WiFi is optional for remote monitoring and control convenience via the Smart Life app.
Q: Can I control multiple heat pumps with one app? A: Yes, the Smart Life app supports unlimited devices. You can monitor and control multiple heat pumps from a single interface – ideal for facilities with several pools.
Q: What does “Silence Mode” do? A: Silence Mode reduces fan speed to minimum while still maintaining heating/cooling function, lowering noise output by approximately 5-7 dB. Heating capacity is reduced but operation is significantly quieter – ideal for noise-sensitive times.
Q: Will it cool my pool in summer? A: Yes! The Megaline Fi 35 offers full cooling capability, lowering water temperature from 8°C to 28°C. This is valuable for commercial pools in hot climates where water temperature can become uncomfortable (above 30°C). Cooling mode operates with EER up to 6.67.
Q: What’s Auto Mode? A: Auto Mode lets the heat pump automatically switch between heating and cooling based on the set temperature. It will heat when water temperature drops below setpoint and cool when temperature exceeds setpoint – perfect for maintaining precise temperature year-round.
Maintenance & Troubleshooting
Q: How often should it be serviced? A: Professional service recommended annually, with quarterly checks by facility staff. Regular maintenance includes cleaning evaporator fins, checking refrigerant levels, inspecting electrical connections, and testing safety features.
Q: What if I get an error code? A: The display shows error codes like “E01” through “E22”. Common codes include: E01 (water flow issue), E02/E03 (pressure problems), E04 (low temperature protection). Press the error icon for details. Refer to the installation manual for complete error code list and troubleshooting steps. Many issues resolve with basic checks (water flow, filter cleaning, power cycling).
Q: Can I clear error codes myself? A: Some errors auto-clear when conditions normalize (e.g., flow restored, temperature recovered). Others require addressing the root cause. Never bypass safety features. If errors persist after basic troubleshooting, contact qualified service technician.
Q: What maintenance can I do myself? A: You can: (1) Clean evaporator fins with vacuum and soft brush quarterly, (2) Monitor and clean pool filter, (3) Check water chemistry, (4) Clear debris from around unit, (5) Verify settings and schedules. All refrigerant work, electrical repairs, and internal component service must be done by qualified professionals.
Q: How do I winterize for off-season storage? A: See the Maintenance & Service section above for complete 4-step winterization process. Key points: disconnect power, close isolation valves, drain completely, protect openings, and cover with breathable material. If you want antifreeze protection for your pool, the heat pump must remain powered.
Water Chemistry & Compatibility
Q: Can I use salt chlorination? A: Yes, the Megaline Fi 35 is fully compatible with salt chlorination systems. The titanium heat exchanger is highly resistant to salt water corrosion. Ensure pH is maintained between 6.9-8.0 and salt levels follow manufacturer recommendations (typically 3000-4000 ppm).
Q: What if my pH is outside the 6.9-8.0 range? A: Low pH (acidic) can cause corrosion even to titanium. High pH causes scale buildup that reduces efficiency and damages equipment. Maintain proper pH through regular testing and adjustment using pH increaser/decreaser chemicals. Out-of-range pH can void warranty.
Q: Will chlorine damage the heat exchanger? A: No, when properly managed. Maintain free chlorine at 1-3 ppm. Avoid shocking the pool with heat pump running – either turn off heat pump during shocking or shock at night when heat pump cycles off naturally. Always install chemical dosing equipment AFTER the heat pump in the hydraulic circuit.
Q: Can I use it with a spa or hot tub? A: The Megaline Fi 35 is designed for swimming pools (15-40°C). While it can heat water above 40°C, this is outside normal operating parameters and efficiency drops significantly. For dedicated spa heating above 40°C, consider specialized spa heat pumps or traditional heaters.
