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.
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.
While hot tub users most often reference the heating requirements, the Arctic Heat Pump is also a chiller if needed. That’s right, it can heat and cool based on a simple controller selection. Ideal for hot climates that need a retreat out of the hot summer heat! A cold-water plunge is a must for Sauna owners. Now you can quickly change your hot tub to a cold plunge tub! Cold water therapy has many health benefits and is growing in popularity in North America as we discover what the Nordic Culture has practice for centuries. Find out more about the health benefits of cold-water therapy.
Arctic Pool/Spa Heat Pumps can produce 104°F (40°C) maximum outlet water temperature.
The only pool heat pump in North America that has been designed to work in cold weather. Features such as hot gas defrost and reversing valve ensure the Arctic Pool and Spa Heat Pumps can provide useable heat energy in temperatures as low as -4°F (-20°C).
A titanium heat exchanger ensuring a long working life. Arctic Spa Heat Pumps use titanium to stand up to the harsh environment of a spa or a pool which can include high levels of chlorine, bromine, or salt.
Wi-Fi enabled controller allows for remote monitoring and control via the Smart Life App. Adjust your temperatures, change your heating mode, and get system alerts to notify you of any technical issues.
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.
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.
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.
