Estimated Heat-Up Times ⏱
These calculations show how long the Remora Professional 15 takes to heat various pool sizes. Please note: These are estimates based on theoretical calculations and assume ideal conditions.
Heat-Up Time Formula
Time (hours) = (Pool Volume in m³ × Temperature Rise in °C × 1.16) ÷ Heat Pump kW Rating
Heating Time Estimates for Common Pool Sizes
Assuming 14.5kW maximum output and no heat loss (pool covered, mild weather)
| Pool Volume | Temperature Rise | Estimated Time |
|---|---|---|
| 20,000 L (20m³) | 5°C (e.g., 15°C → 20°C) | 8 hours |
| 20,000 L (20m³) | 10°C (e.g., 15°C → 25°C) | 16 hours |
| 30,000 L (30m³) | 5°C (e.g., 15°C → 20°C) | 12 hours |
| 30,000 L (30m³) | 10°C (e.g., 15°C → 25°C) | 24 hours |
| 40,000 L (40m³) | 5°C (e.g., 18°C → 23°C) | 16 hours |
| 40,000 L (40m³) | 10°C (e.g., 15°C → 25°C) | 32 hours |
| 50,000 L (50m³) | 5°C (e.g., 18°C → 23°C) | 20 hours |
| 50,000 L (50m³) | 8°C (e.g., 17°C → 25°C) | 32 hours |
⚠️ Real-World Considerations:
These times are theoretical estimates. Actual heating times will vary based on:
- Ambient air temperature – Performance decreases in colder weather
- Wind exposure – Increases heat loss from pool surface
- Pool insulation – Covered pools heat much faster
- Pool cover usage – Can reduce heating time by 40-60%
- Starting water temperature – Warmer water heats faster
- Sun exposure – South-facing pools gain additional solar heating
- Pool usage – Splashing and activity increases heat loss
- Humidity levels – Affects evaporation rates
Best Practice: Allow 24-48 hours for initial heat-up from cold, then maintain temperature continuously for most efficient operation. The inverter technology means the heat pump is most efficient when maintaining temperature rather than constantly reheating.

Technical Notes & Additional Information ℹ️
Condensation is Normal The heat pump extracts heat from air by cooling it approximately 4-5°C. In humid conditions, this causes water to condense on the evaporator coils – potentially several litres per hour. This is entirely normal and drains automatically through the condensation outlet. Do not mistake this for a refrigerant leak.
3-Minute Restart Delay Built-in protection prevents compressor damage by enforcing a 3-minute delay between shutdown and restart. This is normal and protects your investment.
Water Flow is Essential The heat pump requires continuous water flow when operating. Ensure your pool pump runs whenever the heat pump is on. Low flow or no flow will trigger protective shutdown.
Bypass Installation Recommended While not essential, installing a bypass valve allows you to isolate the heat pump for servicing without draining your entire pool system.
