4. COP And Performance

By using the latest inverter technology, the Astral Heat 3 Inverboost can outperform traditional on/off type heat pumps.

Even as the outside air temperature falls, the Astral Heat 3 Inverboost will still perform well, delivering heat to your pool.

The Astral Heat 3 Inverboost NN heat pumps can work well with outside air temperatures as low as -20c

The COP (Coefficient of Performance) is the ratio of the amount of heat (in kw) that the heat pump delivers to your pool compared to the electricity that the heat pump uses (in kw)

By using the latest inverter technology, the Heat 3 Inverboost has COPs up to 13. This means that in these conditions, 1kw of electricity consumed by the heat pump will output 13kw of heat to your pool !

5. Extremely Quiet Operation

The Astral Heat 3 Inverboost range work very silently thanks to a unique internal ventilation system and the inverter technology.

Both the fan and compressor automatically adjust their speed to match the pool heat demand, therefore once the pool is up to temperature, the unit can operate with reduced power consumption and noise.


6. Wi-Fi Control

The Fluidra Connect Platform allows the Astral Heat 3 Inverboost to be monitored and controlled from a smartphone or any internet web browser or via the Modbus connection

The Fluidra Connect Platform allows you to operate lighting, and many other functions as well as your heat pump.

Note: When using the optional wifi module, a wifi signal is required at the location of the heat pump in order for the wifi module to be able to connect to your wifi.

Please test the strength of the wifi signal e.g. with a laptop or your smart phone before purchasing the wifi module. Please see the link to give you full information on this product on: https://www.fluidraconnect.com/en/

If you do not have a wifi signal at the heat pump’s location, then you can either:-

  1. Use a wifi signal extender to boost the signal in the area of the heat pump
  2. Use power LAN adaptors plugged into mains sockets in the house and the pool shed. You can then connect a wifi extended to the powerlan adaptor in your pool shed.

Please Contact Us if you need assistance with the wifi configuration
