Hot Tub Heat Pump

Hot Tub Heat Pump

Arctic Heat Pump – North Americas only UL listed cold weather spa heat pump.

Heat pump technology has been widely adopted in the pool industry due to its significant cost savings. In fact, most pool heat pumps can save owners 70% or more in heating costs. However, these heat pumps have two major limitations.

  1. They only work during the pool swimming season and quickly lose their efficiency as the outdoor temperature drops.
  2. Their achievable output is the upper 80 degrees, much too cold for hot tub temperature.

Until now most spa owners were stuck with standard electric heaters however, electricity is becoming more and more expensive and will continue the upwards trend. Northern Lights has partnered with Arctic Heat Pumps to be the exclusive OEM hot tub supplier to use this technology. The Arctic heat pump produces between 14 Kw (high temperature rating) and 4.5 Kw (low temperature rating) of heat energy and can safely do so in temperatures as low 20 F (-7 C) while still providing homeowners operating cost savings over regular spa heaters. For those in climates exceeding this we offer the Hybrid Heat pump system that includes a backup 4 Kw ACC Spa Pack that will automatically provide extra heating power when required.

Save up to 80% on you pool or hot tub heating bill, with COP of up to 6.4. This means for every Kw of electricity you spend operating your Arctic Heat Pump you will output 6.4 Kw of heat energy, netting you 5.4 Kw of Free Heat! This is substantially better than any gas or electric heater on the market.

HEATER AND CHILLER

HEATER AND CHILLER

All Arctic Pool & Spa Heat Pumps are both heater as well as chillers. On automatic mode, the heat pump will maintain the ideal temperature by switching from heating to cooling as needed. Great for hot summer climates where a refreshing pool is welcomed in the heat waves.

how it works

A heat pump should be installed with a bypass valve so that the flow rate can be adjusted in the system. If a chlorinator is being used it is recommended to place the heat pump upstream of the chlorinator.
