Real-World Performance: What to Expect ⏱️

Understanding how quickly your spa will heat up helps you plan the perfect bath. Here’s what you can expect with the Spawer Ice Spa 7kW:

Heat-Up Time Estimates

These are approximate calculations based on the heat pump’s output rating and standard formulas. Actual times may vary based on ambient temperature, insulation quality, and starting water temperature.

Formula used: Time (hours) = (Volume in m³ × Temperature Rise °C × 1.16) ÷ Heat Pump kW

Spa Volume	Temperature Rise	Estimated Heat-Up Time
1,000 L (1 m³)	10°C rise	1.7 hours
1,000 L (1 m³)	20°C rise	3.3 hours
1,500 L (1.5 m³)	10°C rise	2.5 hours
1,500 L (1.5 m³)	20°C rise	5.0 hours
2,000 L (2 m³)	10°C rise	3.3 hours
2,000 L (2 m³)	20°C rise	6.6 hours
3,000 L (3 m³)	10°C rise	5.0 hours
3,000 L (3 m³)	20°C rise	9.9 hours

💡 Important Notes:

• These estimates assume optimal conditions (air temperature around 15°C)
• Your spa MUST be properly insulated and covered for best results
• At very cold temperatures (-10°C to -25°C), heating times will increase
• The Full Inverter technology automatically adjusts power output for efficiency

Frequently Asked Questions ❓

Installation & Setup

Q: How difficult is installation? Can I do it myself? A: The Spawer Ice Spa is designed for easy Plug & Play installation. If you’re comfortable with basic plumbing and have an electrician verify your socket, many customers install it themselves. However, we recommend professional installation to ensure optimal performance and maintain warranty coverage. The manual provides step-by-step guidance.

Q: What’s the minimum distance from my spa? A: UK electrical safety standards (NF C 15-100) recommend 2.5 meters minimum. However, with the included differential circuit breaker, you can install as close as 1.5 meters while maintaining proper clearances (1.5m front, 0.5m sides/rear).

Q: Do I need to modify my existing spa plumbing? A: No major modifications needed. The heat pump connects in-line with your existing circulation system using the included fittings. You’ll need to cut into your return line and install the heat pump between your filter and spa return. Isolation valves are recommended for easy maintenance.

Q: Can I control it without the WiFi app? A: Absolutely. The built-in control panel on the unit provides full control. The optional wired controller (included) offers convenient remote control without needing a smartphone. WiFi control via the Smart Life app is an added convenience, not a requirement.

Performance & Operation

Q: Will this really work at -25°C? A: Yes! The EVI (Enhanced Vapour Injection) technology is specifically designed for extreme cold. At -10°C, it still delivers 2.2-3.3 kW with a COP of 2.1. However, heating times will be longer in extremely cold weather, and your spa must be well-insulated. The heat pump continues operating down to -25°C, though performance gradually decreases as temperature drops.

Q: How long does it take to heat my spa from cold? A: This varies based on spa volume, starting temperature, and ambient conditions. As a general guide: a typical 1,500L spa raising water temperature by 20°C takes approximately 5 hours in moderate weather (15°C ambient). In very cold conditions or with larger spas, expect longer times. Always keep your spa covered when not in use to minimize heat loss.

Q: Why is my spa taking longer to heat than the estimates show? A: Several factors affect heating time: poor insulation, uncovered spa losing heat, low ambient temperature, wrong flow rate, or spa heater thermostat set too low. Ensure your spa is well-insulated, cover is in good condition, and the filtration pump is running at the correct flow rate (3 m³/h).

Q: How much will it cost to run? A: Running costs vary based on usage, climate, and electricity prices. On average, expect £15-25/month for maintaining a well-insulated spa at 38°C with regular use. This is approximately 70-75% less than running an electric heater. The Full Inverter technology minimizes power consumption once target temperature is reached.

Q: Can it really save 75% on energy costs? A: Yes, when compared to traditional electric resistance heaters. A COP of 4.0 means you get 4 kW of heat for every 1 kW of electricity used – that’s 4 times more efficient. Even at -10°C with a COP of 2.0, you’re still 50% more efficient than an electric heater. Your actual savings depend on your current heating method and local electricity rates.

Q: Is it noisy? Will it disturb my neighbors? A: The Spawer Ice Spa is remarkably quiet. At 10 meters distance, it produces less than 28 dB(A) – quieter than a whisper. The Full Inverter technology eliminates the sudden starts and stops of traditional compressors, resulting in smooth, quiet operation. Most customers report that it’s quieter than their spa’s circulation pump.

Maintenance & Longevity

Q: How much maintenance does it require? A: Minimal maintenance: Clean the evaporator fins 2-3 times per year with a soft brush and vacuum. Check water filter regularly. Verify refrigerant pressure gauge shows 80+ PSI before each season. Have a qualified technician perform annual inspection. The titanium heat exchanger requires no special maintenance beyond ensuring proper water chemistry (pH 6.8-7.8).

Q: What’s the expected lifespan? A: With proper maintenance, expect 10-15+ years of reliable service. The compressor has a 7-year warranty, and the titanium heat exchanger has a 15-year corrosion warranty, demonstrating the manufacturer’s confidence in longevity.

Q: Can I use it with salt water / chlorine / bromine systems? A: Yes! The titanium heat exchanger is compatible with all water treatment systems including chlorine, bromine, salt chlorinators, and mineral systems. Install any chemical dosing systems AFTER the heat pump in your plumbing line to minimize corrosion risk. Maintain pH between 6.8-7.8 for optimal performance.

Q: Should I turn it off when not using the spa? A: For short absences (few days), leave it running in maintenance mode – it uses very little power once at temperature. For extended absences (weeks/months) or if you winterize your spa, turn it off and drain the heat pump according to manual instructions. The unit includes automatic anti-freeze protection at 0°C.

Cooling Function

Q: How does the cooling function work? A: The 4-way valve reverses the refrigeration cycle, allowing the heat pump to extract heat from the water and expel it to the air – essentially acting as an air conditioner for your spa. This is perfect for summer months when ambient temperatures make spa water uncomfortably warm.

Q: When would I need to cool my spa? A: In hot summer weather (above 30°C), spa water can naturally heat beyond comfortable levels (above 40°C). The cooling function brings water temperature down to your desired level, typically 28-35°C for refreshing summer use. It can cool water down to 4°C if needed.

Technical & Compatibility

Q: Will this work with my spa? A: The Spawer Ice Spa is compatible with virtually all hot tubs, spas, swim spas, and Nordic baths. Requirements: 220-240V power supply, circulation pump delivering 3 m³/h flow rate, and space for the 710×490×500mm unit with proper clearances. Check your spa specifications or contact us for confirmation.

Q: What if my circulation pump flow rate is different? A: The heat pump is optimized for 3 m³/h flow rate. Too little flow causes “d1 Insufficient Water Flow” error. Too much flow increases pressure loss. Most spa circulation pumps deliver 2-4 m³/h, which works fine. If your pump is significantly different, consult with a professional about system compatibility.

Q: Can I use this to heat a swimming pool? A: This model is specifically designed for spas and hot tubs (smaller volumes, higher temperatures). For swimming pools, you need a pool-specific heat pump with higher capacity. The Ice Spa’s 7kW output and 3 m³/h flow rate are optimized for spa volumes (1,000-3,000 liters), not pool volumes (20,000+ liters).

Q: Does it work with a 3-phase power supply? A: No, this model requires single-phase 220-240V power supply. If you only have 3-phase power, you’ll need a phase converter or should consider a 3-phase heat pump model.

Warranty & Support

Q: What’s covered under warranty? A: The Spawer Ice Spa includes comprehensive warranty coverage:

• 3 years on the complete heat pump unit
• 7 years on the compressor
• 15 years on the titanium heat exchanger (corrosion resistance)

Warranty covers manufacturing defects and material faults. Not covered: damage from improper installation, incorrect water chemistry, neglect, or unauthorized repairs.
