ProTeam P21 26kW On/Off Swimming Pool Heat Pump

Product Description

The ProTeam P21 is our best selling 26kW heat pump and can be used to heat your pool all year round, these high-quality heat pumps have been specially designed for cooler climates and are capable of delivering maximum heating efficiency at lower temperatures.

Simply set your target temperature and the heating and cooling modes work to achieve your target temperature by increasing or decreasing the water temperature as quickly as possible, once you have reached your set point switch to auto mode and let the heat pump maintain your water temperature by heating or cooling as necessary.

Key features

All season model (actual length of season depends on pool size and air / water temperature)

1.5 inch female threaded water connections, glue socket unions supplied for pressure pipe, alternatively you can use optional threaded hose tails for connecting vac hose

All year round model, works down to zero degrees (can heat all year, length of season depends on pool size and temperature)

COP 6.2 (A24/W26)

Soft start reduces the initial start up current of the heat pump to prevent a power spike and avoid tripping the circuit breaker

Light grey ABS cabinet, strong and corrosion resistant

Heating (from 15°C) and cooling (down to 8°C)

Digital LCD/LED waterproof display

Oversized evaporator and double-coil heat exchanger

Automatic defrosting and bottom plate heater

Flow switch shuts off heat pump in event of low water flow

Sizing your heat pump

You can always opt for the minimum size heat pump needed for a pool, however our sizing guide shows the ideal capacity we would recommend to achieve a target temperature consistently, not just on warmer days.

How did we calculate our ideal capacity? We considered several factors including whether it is an above or below ground pool, the amount of insulation, whether the pool is covered when not in use, the expected swimming season, an average air temperature and of course the target water temperature.

It is important to remember that the heating capacity required to achieve a water temperature of 28 degrees will vary according to changes in air temperature and the increased heat loss that occurs at cooler air temperatures.

Whilst we assume an average air temperature of 15 degrees, our calculations actually factor in the reality that it could be 10 degrees one day and 20 degrees the next, therefore it should be remembered that capacities you see recommended elsewhere are probably based on consistent air temperature and therefore may appear less than our ideal capacities.

Our assumptions:

Pool is outside and covered with suitable solar cover when not in use

By default above grounds pools are classed as ‘uninsulated’, fully in-ground pools are ‘insulated’

An above ground pool with cover and additional side and floor insulation is classed as ‘insulated’

May to September swimming season

Desired water temperature is 27-28°C

Average air temperature is 15°C

To reach a higher water temperature a larger heat pump is recommended – approximately 2KW additional heating capacity for each degree above 27-28°C.

To extend the swimming season a larger heat pump is recommended – approximately 3KW additional heating capacity for each month before or after May to September.

A quick word about heat loss

If you are thinking of heating your pool you should cover the pool when not in use as 80% of heat loss occurs through surface evaporation, a separate solar or bubble cover is a worthwhile investment if you don’t have an existing cover.

With an above ground pool it is especially important to keep it covered as these pools are not well insulated against heat loss – additional insulation around the sides and bottom of an above-ground pool can help to retain valuable heat – in fact properly insulating your pool can extend your season or even reduce the size of heat pump required.

Connecting your ProTeam P21

It is recommended that ProTeam P21 heat pumps are connected to a circuit protected by a separate MCB (Miniature Circuit Breaker, slow type, C or D curve), this is due to the increased full load current when the compressor starts up.

All electrical wiring should be carried out by a qualified electrician.

Water inlet and outlet connections are 1½ inch, and the use of a bypass kit is recommended to control flow rate, for easy maintenance and for winterising the unit.

Watch our Intex hose connection kit video

The electrical connection marked water pump should not to be used for connecting your filter pump as flow protection will switch the power off preventing backwash operation.

Full installation guidelines can be found in the user manual including the required fuse rating and cable size.

What is COP?

COP stands for Coefficient of Performance

COP is quoted as a number, such as 5.6

For each kW of energy input, 5.6 x kW would be output

The higher the output, the lower the running costs

Positioning your ProTeam P21

Your ProTeam P21 pool heat pump should always be installed outside, restrictions on air flow around a heat pump such as dense vegetation or solid surfaces such as sheds, fences or walls will lead to a drop in efficiency and heating ability, it is especially important that cooled air can be properly dispersed away from the unit.

The manufacturer literature may state that the heat pump should be positioned above the waterline, the assumption being that pools are in-ground, therefore the heat pump would sit at ground level.

If you have an above-ground pool please also position your heat pump at ground level (therefore below the waterline), there is no need to elevate the heat pump.
