How does a pool heat pump functions ?
A pool heat pump transfers heat from the ambient air to the water of your swimming pool. A compressor heats the cooling agent which circulates in the titanium serpentine and then transmits its heat to the water when it is in contact with the heat exchanger.

Why choose an Elite pool heat pump ?
Above all, Elite heat pumps are made entirely in Quebec and has a unique design especially built for our climate. Moreover, we have manufactured pool heaters and we conducted research for nearly 25 years. Also, the cash economies carried out with an Elite pool heater are substantial. The cost of operation is a fraction of the price of other types of heating and ensures an efficiency of 700% (COP of 7). Our top covered pool heaters are made of recyclable plastic which helps prevent corrosion as well as answering environmental concerns. Our cover comes with a 20 years limited warrantee.

What is the cost of operation of an Elite heat pump during the summer ?
To maintain your water with a pool size of 14 X 28 at 82 degree Celsius for the summer, It will cost approximately 140$ with a TTI Elite50 model for approximately 1400 hours of use which costs about 0,10 $ an hour. With a pool size of 18X36 with a TTI Elite118 (which requires less hours of use than the Elite50 model), it will cost about 350 $ per 1000 hours of use (0,35$ an hour).
* Take note that there is an electricity reduction of 38% giving by Hydro-Quebec for those functioning in dual-energy.

How long will it take to heat a swimming pool ?
Each swimming pool is different and it’s for this reason that it is difficult to answer this question. However, the following points can largely influence the heating of your water:
• The outside temperature
• The level of relative humidity in the ambient air
• The use of a solar fabric on the swimming pool
• The location of the swimming pool (shaded space or to the sun)
• The level of maintenance of the pool heater
• Model type of the pool heater
• The desired water temperature of the swimming pool
• Dimension of the swimming pool
