3. What size heat pump do I require for my pool?

The sizing guide for a covered pool is:-

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.

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