Description
Thermotec Inverter Pro Horizontal 20KW
New for 2023, the Thermotec Inverter range of pool heat pumps really do offer the best in terms of efficiency, performance, reliability and low noise operation.
The Thermotec Inverter range are fully inverter driven. This means that they automatically adjust the speed of the fan and compressor to precisely match the heat demand from the pool.
The ability to adjust the output of the heat pump allows the Thermotec inverter Horizontal 9KW to deliver greatly reduced running costs with COPs of up to 13. This means that for every 1kw of electricity used by the heat pump, 13kw of heat is delivered to the pool. This delivers reduced running costs compared with other heat pumps on the market
In addition the inverter technology has a reduced electrical start up requirement, making them ideal for properties with a sensitive or limited electrical supply.
They have larger evaporators (fins) which gives more surface area to extract heat at low air temperatures. This allows the Thermotec Inverter to produce more heat than competitor heat pumps at low air temperatures, making them the best choice for koi ponds and indoor pools which are used all year round. The larger surface area also gives higher efficiency and reduced running costs all year round.

For a koi pond that is heated all year round with a winter temperature of around 12c and a summer temperature of around 20-22c, we recommend the following sizing:-
Model |
Max Pond Volume
|
---|---|
Thermotec Inverter Horizontal 9kw | 4500 gallons |
Thermotec Inverter Horizontal 12kw | 6000 gallons |
Thermotec Inverter Horizontal 17kw |
7500 gallons
|
Thermotec Inverter Horizontal 19.5kw |
9600 gallons
|
Thermotec Inverter Horizontal 24kw |
11,600 gallons
|
Thermotec Inverter Vertical 29kw |
13,800 gallons
|
Thermotec Inverter Vertical 34kw |
19,900 gallons
|
Thermotec Inverter Vertical 34kw (3 Phase) | 19,900 gallons |
(Note: This assumes that the pond is covered in winter and that a temperature of +12c is to be maintained over winter)
COP And Performance
By using the latest inverter technology, the Thermotec Inverter can’t perform traditional on/off type heat pumps as well as many other inverter driven models.
Even as the outside air temperature falls, the Thermotec Inverter will still perform well, delivering heat to your pool.
The Thermotec Inverter heat pumps can work well with outside air temperatures as low as -15c
The COP (Coefficient of Performance) is the ratio of the amount of heat (in kw) that the heat pump delivers to your pool compared to the electricity that the heat pump uses (in kw)
By using the latest inverter technology, the Thermotec Inverter has COPs up to 13.6. This means that in these conditions, 1kw of electricity consumed by the heat pump will output 13.6kw of heat to your pool !
Extremely Quiet Operation
The Thermotec Inverter range work very silently thanks to a unique internal ventilation system and the inverter technology.
Both the fan and compressor automatically adjust their speed to match the pool heat demand, therefore once the pool is up to temperature, the unit can operate with reduced power consumption and noise.
Colour Touch Screen Controls
The Thermotec Inverter have a unique 5″ colour backlit touch screen control/display panel
This provides easy to use controls
The display will show:-
- The current pool water temperature
- The mode (eg heating or cooling)
- If the timer function has been set
- If the fan is operating
- The current time and date
- The outside ambient temperature
- If there is a fault, a fault code is displayed to explain the problem
In addition, the display can show:-
- A graph of the temperature of the pool over time so that you can see how the pool temperature is being maintained by the Thermotec Inverter Pro heat pump
- A graph of the power consumed by the heat pump over time
The colour display is backlit making it easy to read in low light conditions and also in bright sunlight
Wi-Fi Control
The optional Wi-Fi module allows the Thermotec Inverter Pro Horizontal 20KW to be monitored and controlled from a smartphone or any internet web browser.
The Thermotec Inverter Pro Horizontal 20KW App is available for both Android and iPhone
The Wi-Fi module simply connects to the heat pump via the supplied cable
The module is then joined to your wi-fi network to allow it to communicate with the internet
The wifi module also allows HeatPumps4Pools to provide remote monitoring and support of your heat pump with the ability to change any settings if required. This greatly enhances the speed and efficiency of our technical support.
The Thermotec Inverter Pro Horizontal 20KW app can then be installed into your smart phone to give full remote control and monitoring of your pool heat pump.
Note: A a wifi signal is required at the location of the heat pump in order for the wifi module to be able to connect to your wifi.
Please test the strength of the wifi signal eg with a laptop or your smart phone before purchasing the wifi module.
If you do not have a wifi signal at the heat pump’s location, then you can either:-
- Use a wifi signal extender to boost the signal in the area of the heat pump
- Use power lan adaptors plugged into mains sockets in the house and the pool shed. You can then connect a wifi extended to the powerlan adaptor in your pool shed.
Using the app you can:-
- Turn the heat pump on and off
- See the current pool water temperature
- Alter the desired pool set temperature
- Set the timer
- View the pool temperature history graph
- Change the mode of the heat pump from heating, cooling and auto modes
- Put the heat pump in and out of silence mode (eg for nigh time use)
- Show the weather temperatures and information
- Display any error codes and messages
The Thermotec Inverter Pro Horizontal 20KW heat pump comes with:-
- 2 x Water connection unions
- 1 x Basic Winter cover
- 4 x Rubber mounting feet
