While It's true that, nothing beats a gas heater for bringing your pool or spa up to temperature rapidly, it can be expensive to operate. Keep in mind that with a gas heater, you also need to run expensive gas lines, or install an unsightly propane storage tank. Installing a Raypak heat pump can save you money compared to a gas heater installation. Installation is no harder than installing a pool pump. Your Raypak heat pump is designed to provide years of safe, reliable service, and can save you money over time compared to other heating methods.

Spiral "Rifled" Titanium Tube Heat Exchanger

Spiral rifled titanium heat exchanger tubes help create an incredibly efficient and durable heat pump.

And they said it couldn't be done…Titanium has gained world recognition in just about every industry for its "nearly unbreakable" qualities. Additionally, due to Titanium's rigidity, it has been nearly impossible to design an ultra-efficient heat exchanger using this metal. Raypak is the first company to offer the Spiral "Rifled" Titanium Tube heat exchanger. This proven technique drastically increases the surface area where super-heated gases can safely transfer heat to water. Rifling a Titanium Tube Heat Exchanger provides a truly efficient waterway that withstands the abuses of harsh pool chemistry and erosion. The spiral "rifled" exchanger also helps reduce deposit buildup, and increases efficiency by performing a “scoop-and-lift” action. While neither Titanium nor rifling is new to the heat pump industry, leave it to Raypak to bring the best of both worlds together to maximize your backyard investment!

Two Control Methods to Choose From

Analog Controls

Dual Thermostats - Allows separate pool and spa temperature settings.
Exclusive Direct-Set Thermostat - Our direct-set thermostat is easy to use; the temperature settings are right on the the dial. This eliminates the guess work involved compared with some dials that us a gradient or blue-to-read "swoosh".
Remote/Local Switch - Compatible with the latest automated pool control systems. Exclusive remote/local switch ends the conflict between outside control systems and the heat pump control system. Great for troubleshooting.
Diagnostic Lights - Six LED diagnostic lights keep you informed about the heat pump pool heater operation. Power on, water flow, heat demand, compressor delay, defrost active, low refrigerant pressure.

Digital Controls

Pool/Spa Control - Your digital heat pump pool heater can be set to have a different target temperature for your pool and spa. This allows you to dial in just the right spa temperature and never have to adjust it again. The pool can be set to a lower. more energy saving temperature.
Remote Compatible - The digital heat pump pool heater can be easily controlled by most two-wire and three-wire remote systems.
On Board Diagnostics - Tells the homeowner if there is a problem. Provides the service technician with detailed diagnostic information.

How Does it Work?

Raypak Heat-Cool units have a unique reversing valve which enables the heat pump to not only take the chill out of the water, but also put it back in... Cooling your pool water during the hot summer months! Normally, a heat pump will gather heat energy from the air with its condensing coil. Using Freon, and several other components, the heat is transferred over to your pool water. By reversing this process the heat pump can actually take heat out of the water, transfer it to the Freon, and eventually run it through the condensing coil. The condensing coil dissipates the heat into the air, much like a cars radiator.
