How to install a spa heat pump?

Step 1: Choose the right heat pump

Before beginning installation, it is important to choose a heat pump suitable for your spa. There are several types of heat pumps on the market, each with their advantages and disadvantages. Air-water heat pumps extract heat from the outside air and transfer it to the spa water via a heat exchanger.

By choosing the heat pump best suited to your spa, you can optimize the energy efficiency of your system. Find the spa heat pump that suits you using our online selection tool.

Step 2: Choose the right location for the heat pump

The first step is to determine the location of the heat pump. Indeed, it must be installed in a dry, clean and well-ventilated place. Make sure that the location is accessible for maintaining the heat pump and that there are no obstacles to air circulation.

Step 3: Connect the heat pump to the filtration system

Connect the heat pump to your spa's filtration system. The pipes must be connected to the inlet and outlet of the heat pump and connected to the spa filtration system. The heat pump is designed to work in parallel with the filtration system, to maximize filtration efficiency and keep the water clean.

Step 4: Install the heat pump

If the heat pump requires an electrical power source, install a dedicated power line for the heat pump. Local electrical codes must be followed. If you are unsure of the codes in your area, consult a professional electrician.

Step 5: Install the thermostat

Install the thermostat supplied with the heat pump. The thermostat should be placed where it can measure the spa water temperature. If necessary, also install a temperature sensor to measure the ambient air temperature.

Step 6: Perform tests

Once installation is complete, turn on the spa heat pump and check that everything is working properly. Check that the water temperature is increasing and that the filtration system is also working.

By following these steps, you can successfully install a heat pump for your spa. This will make it easier for you to understand why installing a spa heat pump to heat your spa is a wise choice. Be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions for best results. With an efficient heat pump, you can enjoy your spa all year round without worrying about high heating costs.
