FAQs

CHR Heat Pumps set themselves apart by having a larger fan and increased coil size which generates greater heat. 

• Water is drawn from your pool into the heat pump, initiating the water circulation process.
• The pump captures warm air from the surroundings and converts it into a warm gas during the heat absorption phase.
• This warm gas then circulates through the pump's coils, where its temperature is boosted in the compressor, achieving heat transfer.
• As water flows through the heated compressor, it absorbs the warmth and cycles back into the pool, making the return warm.
• The process efficiently continues, raising the pool's temperature to the desired level through efficient cycling.

The larger the heat pump (in kW), the faster and more energy-efficient the heating process, ensuring significant savings on operational costs.

• The turbo heating mode accelerates heating which reduces running costs through faster operation.
• For those who prefer quieter operation, the silent heating mode operates at a reduced speed with only a 5% performance decrease, ideal for installations near bedrooms or close to neighbours.
• Wi-Fi connectivity allows multiple users to control the heat pump via smartphones, adding convenience for the entire family.
• The timer feature provides the flexibility to set on/off times as needed, perfect for managing heating schedules, especially beneficial for BnB homes.
• A cooling mode is also available, capable of lowering the pool's temperature to 7°C, ideal for ice baths or athletic recovery at home.
• Designed for continuous efficiency, the constant running mode maintains consistent warmth without incurring excessive running costs. It automatically shuts off if the temperature falls 3°C below the set point.

These advanced features highlight CHR's dedication to delivering versatile, efficient, and user-friendly heating solutions, setting CHR units apart as the premier choice for those seeking superior pool heating technology.

CHR Heat Pumps combine superior performance with efficiency, ensuring lower operational costs than standard models. With electricity rates fluctuating between $0.15 to $0.20 per kWh, running a CHR Heat Pump costs approximately $1.00 per hour, costing about $8.00 for 8 hours of operation. This blend of high efficiency and affordability positions CHR Heat Pumps as an economical choice for maintaining your pool's warmth.

The CHR advantage

• CHR Heat Pumps halve the operational costs across all usage levels.
• CHR achieves higher temperatures (up to 31-33°C) compared to standard models (25-27°C).
• CHR Heat Pumps offer significant savings and superior performance in the long run.

The traditional approach to choosing a heat pump for your pool typically depends on the pool's volume:

• Small pools of 10,000-20,000 liters require a 13kW heat pump.
• Extra-large pools of 40,000-50,000 liters need a 28-32kW heat pump. This method categorises pools into small, medium, large, and extra-large, with corresponding heat pump capacities suggested for each size.

However, CHR has revolutionised the way we think about heating pools. Moving away from the conventional method, CHR introduces a one-size-fits-all solution with our 35kW heat pump. 

This innovative approach:

• Efficiently heats pools of up to 50,000 liters, making the selection process straightforward and eliminating the guesswork.
• Simplifies the decision but also enhances efficiency and warmth.

By optimising the heat pump's operation to just 4-6 hours daily, tailored to the specific needs of your pool and the changing seasons, we ensure a cost-effective and energy-efficient solution. 

CHR's strategy:

• Includes oversizing the heat pump by one or two categories, significantly reducing your running costs.
• Cuts the pool's heating time by half without compromising performance, ultimately saving up to 50% on running costs.
• Our heat pumps can achieve temperatures up to 30% higher than traditional models, ensuring unparalleled comfort.

CHR is at the forefront of pool heating technology, offering a blend of speed, efficiency, and superior warmth, unlike anything on the market today.

To ensure your CHR Heat Pump operates with maximum efficiency, placement and installation are key. Achieving optimal performance involves two main considerations:

• Strategic placement - the heat pump should be positioned close to the pool's filter system. This close proximity is crucial for optimal functionality and results.
• Clear surroundings - to facilitate adequate airflow, which is essential for efficient operation, maintain a minimum clearance of 300mm at the rear and sides of the heat pump, and 1.5m at the front.

Adhering to these guidelines helps in leveraging the full efficiency and effectiveness of your CHR Heat Pump, enhancing your pool's heating system.

Integrating a CHR Heat Pump into your pool system can significantly enhance heating efficiency and control. There are several options to consider, depending on your current setup:

• Retrofitting - if you have an existing pool system, you can easily add a CHR Heat Pump to it. This option instantly improves the efficiency of older systems without any complications.
• Solar replacement - for those considering an upgrade from solar heating, replacing it with a CHR Heat Pump offers a substantial boost in heating efficiency and temperature control.
• Dedicated setup for new pools - for new pool constructions, it's advisable to consider a dedicated setup that involves a separate suction and return specifically for the heat pump. This allows the heat pump to operate independently, enhancing its efficiency and performance.

By exploring these integration options, you can ensure that your CHR Heat Pump is perfectly suited to your needs, providing superior performance and cost-effective heating solutions.
