Achieving a longer swimming season requires dependable climate control, making the Waterco Electroheat MKV 9kW ideal for residential pools. By utilizing ambient air rather than direct sunlight, it extracts atmospheric heat. Its horizontal-venting architecture allows for flexible placement.
Generating an 8.9 kW heating capacity, this unit reaches a 5.9 coefficient of performance. It efficiently converts electrical input into thermal energy, drawing 1.5 kW of power on a 240 V single-phase supply via a standard 10A plug connection.
Thermal transfer relies on a dual coil titanium heat exchanger that resists heavy salt and chlorinated water. This functions alongside a hydrophilic blue fin evaporator to maximize heat absorption while combating corrosion in coastal areas.
The hardware is enclosed in a sound-dampening weatherproof cabinet for quiet operation. Driven by a scroll compressor, it handles 40mm plumbing connections while utilizing an ozone-friendly R410A refrigerant cycle.
FEATURES- Wi-Fi automation via the Waterco Connect app
- Inbuilt water flow and refrigerant safety sensors
- Digital control panel with self-diagnostics
- Large-diameter fan maximizes air extraction
- External pressure gauge confirms gas charge
- Dual spigots optimize condensate drainage
Backed by a standard 1 Year manufacturer warranty. Please refer to official documentation for complete commercial and residential coverage terms.
