After an extensive worldwide search PoolStore is pleased to introduce to the UK what we think is the best Heat Pump on the market, the Nirvana Heat Pump.
As technology improves and more is spent on research and development there are many good heat pumps available but we think this heat pump has the edge on all others.
Hand made in Canada using the best quality components.
Easy to install. Cheap to run. Simple to use.
Environmentally friendly. Very long Guarantee
What is so good about the Nirvana Heat Pump?
Designing a heat pump is all about getting the balance between the gas compressor, the heat exchanger and the evaporator to produce the most heat for the least energy input. But not only that. The performance at low temperatures and the noise produced are just as important. To make a heat pump produce 4 times its input at 30 deg C is easy. To make one produce nearly 5 times its input at 10 deg C (typical night time temperatures in the UK) and do it quietly takes clever design and a dedication to quality. Add to this a warranty lasting up to 10 years and you can see what makes the TDM stand out from the pack.
With Economy 7 electricity the best time to run a heat pump is at night but it’s cold at night and so you can’t run your heater. Think again! Below are the performance figures for the Nirvana heat pump at 10 deg C, typical night time temperatures. Even at night the M35 can pump 22kw of heat into your pool for about 12p per hour. A direct electric heater in the daytime would cost £2.00 per hour. The biggest Calorex heat pump can't reach these performance figures during a hot day and costs £600 more.
Nirvana has introduced a hot gas reverse cycle model in to the range. Most heat pumps stop working at about 5c ~ 40f because they freeze up. Most people don't want to swim at those temperatures anyway but for those that do or for indoor pools now there is a heat pump that can produce as much heat at 0c as normal heat pumps do at 20c.
See the tabbed table below for detailed performance across the range of temperatures but here is a summary table and comparison
