🌊 Pool Sizing & Heat-Up Performance Guide

Recommended Pool Volumes

⏱ Estimated Heat-Up Times

These estimates are calculated using standard heat pump formulas and assume: pool cover in use, filtration running 15+ hours daily, and average wind conditions.

Formula Used: Time (hours) = (Pool Volume m³ × Temperature Rise °C × 1.16) ÷ Heat Pump kW Rating

Turbo Mode Performance (14kW @ Air 26°C)

Smart Mode Performance (12kW @ Air 26°C)

Performance at Air 15°C (Spring/Autumn)

⚠️ Important Disclaimers:

• These are theoretical estimates based on ideal conditions
• Actual heat-up times vary based on: ambient temperature, humidity, wind speed, pool cover usage, heat loss, and filtration schedule
• Pools without covers can lose 50-70% of their heat overnight
• For fastest results, use Turbo Mode, maintain proper water flow (3-4 m³/h), and keep your pool covered when not in use

💰 Running Cost Comparison

See how the X20-14’s exceptional efficiency translates to real savings:

Scenario: Heating a 40m³ pool from 18°C to 26°C (8°C rise) at Air Temperature 15°C

Based on UK average electricity price £0.30/kWh and gas £0.08/kWh. Your actual costs may vary.

💡 Key Takeaway:

The X20-14’s COP of 8.1 at 15°C air temperature means you’re getting 8.1 times more heating energy out than electrical energy you put in. Over a swimming season, this translates to hundreds of pounds in savings compared to conventional heating methods.

🛠️ Maintenance & Winterization

Regular Maintenance (Monthly)

✔ Visual inspection for debris around air inlet/outlet ✔ Check for unusual noises or vibrations ✔ Verify proper water flow (3-4 m³/h) ✔ Ensure no obstructions blocking airflow ✔ Check electrical connections remain tight

Seasonal Maintenance (Annually)

✔ Professional service inspection recommended ✔ Clean evaporator fins with water or mild detergent (never use harsh chemicals) ✔ Inspect and tighten all electrical connections ✔ Check refrigerant levels (by qualified technician only) ✔ Test water flow sensors and safety switches ✔ Verify correct operation of all three modes

Winterization Procedure

If you’re closing your pool for winter or during extended periods of non-use:

1. Power Off the heat pump at the main breaker
2. Drain Water from the heat exchanger:
   • Unscrew the lower water union on the inlet pipe
   • Allow all water to drain completely
   • This prevents freeze damage to the titanium heat exchanger
3. Protect the Unit with a weatherproof cover (optional but recommended)
4. Leave Accessible for visual inspections during winter months

⚠️ Critical Warning: Water freezing inside the heat exchanger can cause catastrophic damage NOT covered by warranty. Always drain the unit if temperatures below 0°C are expected and water flow will not be maintained.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

General Operation

Q: How long does it take to heat my pool? A: Heat-up time depends on pool size, ambient temperature, desired temperature rise, and whether you use a pool cover. For a typical 40m³ pool with a 10°C temperature rise at 15°C ambient, expect approximately 33 hours in Turbo mode with optimal conditions. Using a pool cover can reduce this by 30-50%.

Q: Can I run the heat pump at night? A: Absolutely! The X20-14 is specifically designed for quiet operation. Use Silence Mode for ultra-quiet nighttime running (as low as 17.8 dB at 10m distance). Many users prefer heating at night to take advantage of off-peak electricity rates.

Q: What’s the difference between Turbo, Smart, and Silence modes? A:

• Turbo Mode boosts capacity to 120% (14kW) for fastest heating
• Smart Mode automatically optimizes between 20-100% capacity based on conditions for best efficiency
• Silence Mode restricts operation to 20-60% capacity for minimal noise

Q: Will this work in winter? A: Yes! The X20-14 operates reliably down to -20°C ambient temperature. Performance decreases as temperatures drop (as with all heat pumps), but it continues to provide efficient heating. At 7°C ambient, it still delivers 7.4 kW with a COP of 7.1 – far superior to electric resistance heaters.

Efficiency & Running Costs

Q: What does COP mean and why is it important? A: COP (Coefficient of Performance) measures how efficiently the heat pump converts electricity into heat. A COP of 15 means for every 1 kW of electricity consumed, you get 15 kW of heating. Higher COP = lower running costs. The X20-14’s COP up to 20 is exceptional in the industry.

Q: How much will it cost to run? A: Running costs depend on pool size, temperature settings, ambient conditions, and electricity rates. For a 40m³ pool maintained at 26°C during swimming season (April-September), expect approximately £15-25 per month at UK electricity rates, assuming proper pool cover usage.

Q: Is it cheaper than a gas heater? A: Yes, significantly! Even at the X20-14’s lower COP values (7-8 in cooler weather), it’s 3-4 times cheaper to run than gas heating, and 8-10 times cheaper than electric resistance heaters.

Installation & Requirements

Q: Can I install this myself? A: No. Professional installation by a qualified technician is mandatory for safety, warranty coverage, and optimal performance. Installation involves electrical work (hard-wiring to mains), plumbing connections, and proper commissioning.

Q: Do I need to upgrade my pool pump? A: Your existing pool pump must provide 3-4 m³/h water flow through the heat pump. Most standard pool pumps meet this requirement, but verify your pump’s specifications. Insufficient flow will trigger a protection shut-off.

Q: How far from the pool can it be installed? A: For best efficiency, install within 10 meters of the pool. Longer pipe runs increase heat loss and reduce efficiency. If longer distances are necessary, insulate all pipes thoroughly.

Q: What size pool is this suitable for? A: The X20-14 is optimally sized for pools between 30-50m³ (30,000-50,000 litres). It can heat smaller pools very quickly and maintain larger pools (up to about 50m³) effectively, though initial heat-up will take longer.

Technical & Troubleshooting

Q: What’s the warranty coverage? A: Industry-leading coverage includes:

• 7 years on all parts
• 15 years on the Mitsubishi compressor
• 15 years on the titanium heat exchanger This demonstrates exceptional confidence in build quality and longevity.

Q: Is the R32 refrigerant environmentally friendly? A: Yes. R32 has a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of 675, which is approximately one-third that of older R410A refrigerant (GWP 2088). It’s more efficient, environmentally responsible, and increasingly becoming the industry standard.

Q: What happens if there’s a power cut? A: The heat pump will automatically restart when power is restored, resuming operation with your previous settings. No manual intervention is required.

Q: Why is my heat pump defrosting? A: In cold weather (typically below 7°C), frost can form on the evaporator. The unit automatically enters defrost mode to maintain efficiency. During defrost, the fan continues running while the heating temporarily pauses. This is completely normal and automatic.

Wi-Fi & Smart Features

Q: Does it work without Wi-Fi? A: Yes, absolutely. The touchscreen control panel provides full manual control. Wi-Fi simply adds the convenience of remote access and monitoring via smartphone.

Q: What if I change my Wi-Fi password? A: Simply press and hold the Wi-Fi button for 10 seconds to reset the connection, then follow the setup process again with your new network credentials.

Q: Can multiple family members control it? A: Yes! The app allows you to share device access with family members. Each person installs the app on their smartphone and the administrator can grant access permissions.
