❓ Frequently Asked Questions
General Operation
Q: How long does it take to heat my pool? A: Heat-up time depends on pool volume, starting temperature, and ambient conditions. As a general guide, expect 1-2°C temperature rise per day under typical conditions. For a 90m³ pool heating from 15°C to 25°C, allow approximately 5-7 days with continuous operation. Using a pool cover can reduce this by 30-50%.
Q: Can the heat pump heat and cool my pool? A: Yes! The Vertigo Fi 155T is fully reversible with dedicated cooling mode. This is particularly useful in hot climates where water temperatures can exceed comfortable swimming levels (28-30°C). The cooling function also helps control algae growth in very warm water.
Q: What’s the difference between Boost, Eco, and Silent modes? A:
- Boost Mode: Runs at maximum capacity (21.2kW) for fastest heating. Use for initial heat-up or rapid temperature recovery.
- Inverter Mode: Variable power operation, automatically adjusting between 4-21kW for optimal efficiency. Best for daily use.
- Silent Mode: Operates at reduced speed for ultra-quiet operation (24 dB at 10m). Perfect for evening use or noise-sensitive installations.
Q: Will it work in winter? A: The Vertigo Fi 155T operates down to -10°C air temperature with automatic defrost protection. However, efficiency decreases as temperature drops. At 0°C ambient, expect about 40-50% of rated capacity. For extended season use (October-May in UK), a pool cover is essential.
Energy Efficiency & Costs
Q: How much does it cost to run? A: Running costs depend on pool size, target temperature, ambient conditions, and electricity rates. For an 80m³ pool maintained at 28°C during spring/autumn (15°C average air temp), expect £45-75 monthly with a cover. Summer maintenance costs (20°C+ air temp) drop to £20-35 monthly.
Q: What does COP mean and why does it matter? A: COP (Coefficient of Performance) measures efficiency—how much heat energy you get per unit of electricity consumed. A COP of 7.5 means you get 7.5kW of heat for every 1kW of electricity used. Higher COP = lower running costs. The Vertigo Fi’s maximum COP of 15.23 is exceptional.
Q: How does inverter technology save energy? A: Traditional on/off heat pumps constantly cycle between full power and complete shutdown, wasting energy during startup and creating consumption spikes. Inverter technology runs continuously at variable power, matching output to demand. This eliminates wasteful cycling, reduces electricity peaks, and cuts energy consumption by up to 35%.
Installation & Setup
Q: Can I install this myself? A: Hydraulic connections can be performed by competent DIYers, but electrical installation MUST be performed by a qualified electrician due to three-phase requirements and regulatory compliance. We strongly recommend professional installation of the complete system to ensure optimal performance and warranty coverage.
Q: Do I need a three-phase electrical supply? A: Yes, the 155T model requires 380-415V three-phase power. If you only have single-phase supply, consider the single-phase Vertigo Fi 155 model (21.3kW, 230V) as an alternative. Check your property’s electrical supply before ordering.
Q: Will it work with my existing pool equipment? A: Yes! The Vertigo Fi integrates with standard pool systems. It must be installed in the return line BEFORE any chemical treatment systems (chlorinators, dosing pumps). It’s compatible with all pool types (concrete, vinyl, fiberglass) and treatment methods (chlorine, saltwater, bromine, UV, ozone).
Q: Can I control my pool pump through the heat pump? A: Yes, terminals P1/P2 provide pump control for circulation pumps up to 1000W (5A). For larger pumps, use an external power relay. This allows the filtration pump to automatically run whenever the heat pump operates, ensuring proper water flow.
WiFi & Smart Control
Q: How do I set up the WiFi connection? A: Download the free “Smart Life” app, create an account, then press and hold the WiFi and Mode buttons on the controller for 3 seconds to enter pairing mode. The app will guide you through connecting the heat pump to your 2.4GHz WiFi network. Full setup instructions are in the manual.
Q: Can I control it when I’m not at home? A: Absolutely! Once connected to WiFi, you can control your heat pump from anywhere with internet access. Adjust temperature, change modes, view status, and set schedules remotely through the Smart Life smartphone app.
Q: Does it work with Alexa or Google Home? A: Yes, the Smart Life platform integrates with Amazon Alexa and Google Home for voice control in supported regions. You can use voice commands to adjust temperature and turn the heat pump on/off.
Maintenance & Troubleshooting
Q: How much maintenance is required? A: Minimal! Monthly: Check and clean pool filter to ensure proper water flow. Quarterly: Clean evaporator fins with soft brush (unit off). Annually: Professional service check including refrigerant pressure test, electrical connections check, and general inspection.
Q: Do I need to winterize the heat pump? A: If ambient temperatures will remain above 3°C, no winterization is needed. For freezing climates, drain all water from the heat exchanger, disconnect power, and fit the included winter cover. The built-in antifreeze protection will protect the unit when powered if temperatures only occasionally drop to freezing.
Q: What happens if there’s an error code? A: The controller displays error codes (E01-E56) to diagnose issues. Common codes include E05 (insufficient water flow—check filter and valves) and E06 (low refrigerant pressure—call service). The manual includes a complete error code table with solutions. Most issues are related to water flow or power supply.
Q: Why is my heat pump not heating as fast as expected? A: Several factors affect heating rate:
- Pool not covered (heat loss through evaporation)
- Low ambient temperature (reduced capacity)
- Inadequate water flow (check filter, valves)
- Bypass valves incorrectly adjusted
- Initial heat-up always takes longer (allow 5-7 days for first-time heating)
Product Comparison
Q: Should I choose the 155 (single-phase) or 155T (three-phase)? A: Both models provide similar 21.2kW heating capacity. Choose based on your electrical supply:
- 155T (Three-Phase): Lower current draw per phase (8.58A), more balanced load, typically lower running costs with three-phase tariffs, required for commercial installations
- 155 (Single-Phase): Easier installation if three-phase unavailable, higher current draw (21.3A), suitable for residential installations with appropriate supply
Q: How does this compare to gas pool heaters? A: Heat pumps are 3-5x more energy efficient than gas heaters, with much lower running costs. However, gas heaters heat water faster (useful for occasional pool use) and aren’t affected by air temperature. For regular swimming and extended seasons, heat pumps offer far superior economics. For occasional weekend use, gas might be more practical.
Q: What size heat pump do I need for my pool? A: The Vertigo Fi 155T suits 80-115m³ pools (with cover). Factors affecting sizing:
- Climate: Colder regions need more capacity
- Pool Cover: Dramatically reduces requirement (essential!)
- Shelter: Exposed pools lose more heat
- Swimming Season: Longer seasons need higher capacity
- Desired Temperature: Higher temps need more power
For borderline cases, slightly oversizing is better—the inverter technology means the unit will simply run at lower power, maintaining efficiency while ensuring adequate heating capacity during cold snaps.
