Low Ambient Temperature
There are some climates that can challenge a heat pump’s performance. Areas that are sub-
ject to lower ambient temperatures, have a tendency to cause ice to build up on a heat pump's
condensing coil. This ice could damage a heat pump's internal components while starving the
unit of the air flow it needs to work properly. To combat this, most manufacturers build their
heat pumps with a "Defrost Mode." What most manufacturers don't tell you is that their units
can not heat your pool water while defrosting the coil!
With a Raypak Power Defrost heat pump, you can have your cake, and eat it, too! How is this
possible? ...simple! The more time your heat pump can spend heating the water, the quicker
you will achieve your desired swim temperature. While heating your pool, if the Raypak Power
Defrost Heat Pump senses damaging ice build up, the Power Defrost feature redirects a small
amount of the hot Freon gas back through the Condensing Coil. This removes any ice that may be forming
on the coil without stopping the heating process! This means that a Raypak Power Defrost heat pump gives
you the freedom to continue to heat your pool water even when the unit is defrosting itself. So while your
neighbor's "other brand" of heat pump has stopped heating the water and is still trying to “break the ice,”
you and your family will be swimming!
Heat-Cool Models
Hot Summer Days
Raypak Heat-Cool units extend your swim season even longer! Just the right heat pump for climates that, in
addition to having cooler-than-comfortable temperatures, can also have extremely hot summer months. With a
Raypak Heat-Cool heat pump, your water temperature will always be comfortable. Just as households around
the world have trusted us to heat their water during the colder months…Raypak will also have you relaxing in
your pool during the hot days of summer with cool, refreshing, chilled pool water. Having the ability to pull out
the extra degrees Mother Nature put in will make your pool the envy of the neighborhood. No matter what time
of year, a Raypak Heat-Cool will have you swimming when others won’t venture outside.
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 sum-
mer 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.
Low-Humidity Models
Dual-Coil Design
Raypak Low Humidity units utilize a Dual-Coil Evaporator which maximizes heating in areas of low-humidity.
Based on outside conditions, the unit decides to run on either one, or both, coils allowing the compressor to
always run at peak performance. This helps to maintain the highest possible heat capture in the most humidi-
ty-challenged environments.
