What does COP mean?

COP stands for coefficient of performance, it is a term specifically used in heat transfer to describe the efficiency of the heat pump transferring heat.

For example, we measure the COP by testing our Chilli Inversmart heat pool heat pumps with an outdoor temperature of 27 degrees and pool temperature of 27 degrees. The COP can range from 6.3~15, which converts to an efficiency of 500%~2000%.

This means that for every unit (KW) of electricity it takes to run the compressor, you get 6.8~24 units (KW) of heat out of the heat pump. See our Inversmart or Ecosmart range category pages for specific information.

How does COP work?

COP has a direct relationship with ambient air temperature and humidity as an inverter heat pump extracts the heat from the air.

Why should I care about COP?

The higher the COP value (energy output) of the pump the more powerful it is and the lower your electricity bill.

Why is an inverter pool heat pump better than a regular standard pool heat pump?

Inverter is an energy saving technology that eliminates wasted operation (energy) in pool heat pumps by efficiently controlling motor speed, known as stepless technology.

The heat pump motor works like the accelerator of a car to maintain a set temperature rather than stopping and starting the motor like traditional standard heat pumps. Our Inversmart range has a double energy saving – saving you 50% of your pool heating bill verses a traditional switch on/off heat pump.

What is Inverpad technology

Is the combination of the revolutionary case design, inclusion of stepless DC inverter technology and noise reduction to bring you the most beautifully designed heat pump to compliment your pool and garden landscaping.

What is EEV technology

EEV stands for Electronic Expansion Valves, this is the technology used to manage and adjust the gas flow. With the intelligent design of the Chilli Inversmart heaters we can achieve a COP of up to 20%. See our Inversmart range

If you don’t know the size of your pool, use the calculation below.

You can get volume of a square or rectangular pool by multiplying the length by the width and the average depth. To get the average depth of your pool, take the depth of the shallow end of your pool and add it to the depth of the deep end, and divide by two. Here’s a quick example.

Let’s say the shallow end of your pool is 1 meters deep and the deep end is 2 meters deep. Add those two together 1 meter + 2 meters =3 meters. Divide that by 2, =1.5 meters, what you’ll end up with is is average depth in meters.

For example; the pool is 6 meters long (length), 2 meters wide (width), and has an average depth of 1 meters.

The formula for that would look like:

6 meters x 2 meters x 1 meters = 12m3 or 12,000 litres.

So this particular pool’s volume would be 12m3 give or take a few.

No, installation must be done by a licensed pool technician, or licensed plumber and electrician and in accordance with the manufacturing installation guide.
