❓ Frequently Asked Questions

1. How much does the O-Spa 7kW cost to run?

Running costs depend on usage patterns and electricity rates. For a typical 1,500-litre spa maintained at 38°C during winter (October-March), expect approximately £2-3 per day in electricity costs at UK rates (£0.34/kWh). This is about 75% less than running a traditional 3kW electric spa heater continuously.

The exact cost varies based on:

• Ambient temperature (colder weather = higher consumption)
• Spa insulation quality
• How often you use your spa
• Whether you use a thermal cover
• Local electricity rates

2. What size spa is the 7kW model suitable for?

The 7kW model is ideal for:

• Larger hot tubs (1,500-2,500 litres)
• Nordic baths and swim spas (up to 3,000 litres in mild climates)
• Commercial spa installations
• Any application requiring robust heating capacity

For smaller spas (800-1,500 litres), consider the O-Spa 5kW model. For compact 2-3 person spas (under 1,000 litres), the O-Spa 3kW may be sufficient.

3. Can I use this with my existing spa heater?

Absolutely – this is recommended! The O-Spa 7kW includes an integrated relay that controls your spa’s existing electric heater. In automatic mode, when ambient temperature drops below 15°C (adjustable), the heat pump automatically activates your electric heater to boost heating performance.

This hybrid approach gives you:

• Maximum efficiency in mild weather (heat pump only)
• Faster heat-up in cold conditions (both systems)
• Backup heating if the heat pump needs servicing
• Flexibility to choose heating method based on conditions

4. How long does it take to heat my spa?

Heating time depends on several factors:

• Spa volume: Larger spas take longer
• Temperature rise required: Heating from 15°C to 38°C takes longer than maintaining 35°C
• Ambient temperature: Performance decreases in cold weather
• Insulation quality: Well-insulated spas retain heat better

Typical examples (optimal conditions):

• 1,500 litres, 10°C rise: approximately 2.5 hours
• 2,000 litres, 20°C rise: approximately 6.6 hours

For fastest heat-up, use the auxiliary heater boost function in cold weather. Always use a thermal spa cover to minimize heat loss.

5. Will this work in winter? How cold can it operate?

Yes! The O-Spa 7kW operates in ambient temperatures from -15°C to +43°C. However, performance varies:

Above 10°C: Optimal performance, heat pump can maintain and heat your spa efficiently on its own

Between -7°C and 10°C: Heat pump continues working but with reduced capacity. Use the integrated heater relay to boost performance with your spa’s electric heater

Below -7°C: Heat pump enters protection mode. Your spa’s electric heater takes over automatically

The automatic defrost function prevents ice buildup on the evaporator, ensuring reliable operation throughout winter.

6. Is the 7kW model noisy? Can I use it at night?

The O-Spa 7kW is designed for quiet operation:

• At 10 meters: < 30 dB(A) – quieter than a whisper
• At 4 meters: < 38 dB(A) – similar to a quiet library
• At 1 meter: < 50 dB(A) – normal conversation level

For context, a typical refrigerator produces 40 dB(A). Thanks to anti-vibration pads and sound-dampened components, the heat pump won’t disturb neighbors or family members.

For nighttime use:

• Place away from bedroom windows
• Use any ambient screening (fence, plants) to further reduce sound
• Consider setting heating schedules for daytime operation

7. What maintenance does the heat pump require?

Minimal maintenance is required:

Monthly:

• Visual inspection for debris around the unit
• Check water flow (clean spa filter if needed)

Winterization: If closing your spa for winter, store the heat pump indoors in a dry location after draining the water connections.

8. What is the chiller function and why would I use it?

The chiller function actively cools water down to 8°C (or 3°C for ice baths). This is increasingly popular for:

Cold water therapy benefits:

• Muscle recovery after exercise
• Reduced inflammation
• Improved circulation
• Enhanced immune response
• Stress reduction
• Better sleep quality

Summer cooling: Rather than sitting in hot water on a summer day, cool your spa to a refreshing 20-25°C for comfortable soaking without overheating.

9. Can I install this myself or do I need a professional?

DIY Installation Possible for Experienced Users: If you’re comfortable with basic plumbing and electrical work, and follow the detailed manual, self-installation is possible. The hydraulic connections are straightforward (32mm/38mm PVC), and the electrical connection is plug-and-play.

Professional Installation Recommended: We strongly recommend professional installation to ensure:
