High Efficiency for Environmental and Cost Savings
Raypak heat pumps are built with the latest eco-friendly R410A refrigerant. Their operating efficiency is remarkable, typically 5 to 6 times greater than standard gas, oil, or electric pool heaters. This translates into significant cost savings, especially in areas where electricity is more economical than gas. The chart below illustrates potential savings:
- Heat Pump: $4.40
- Natural Gas: $16.46
- Fuel Oil #2: $25.18
- Electric Resistance: $26.38
- Propane Gas: $33.32
(Cost to generate 1 Million BTU of heat, based on sample energy costs: $1.35/Therm natural gas, $2.50/gallon propane gas, $2.75/gallon heating oil, 9 cents/kilowatt)
Affordable Pool Heating
While gas heaters offer rapid heating, their operating costs can be high, and they may require extensive gas line installations or unsightly propane storage tanks. Raypak units operate quietly, cleanly, and efficiently, with installation comparable to that of a pool pump. Trust Raypak's 70+ years of experience for reliable service and long-term savings.
Reliability Backed by Rheem
Raypak pool heater heat pumps are manufactured by Rheem, a major air conditioning company with over 30 years of successful heat pump technology experience. This expertise is combined with Raypak's industry-leading pool heating products to create a heat pump pool heater that is second to none. In the unlikely event of a service problem, a toll-free call ensures your heater is up and running again. Raypak heat pumps are truly hassle-free.
DuraSteel™ Powder-Coated Cabinet
Features an exclusive DuraSteel Cabinet, which is zinc chromate plated and polyester powder coated. This construction makes it non-corrosive and much more durable than a plastic cabinet, using the same rugged construction employed by major air conditioner manufacturers.
Advanced Technology for Superior Performance
Digital or Analog Control
Raypak is unique in offering both digital and analog control options for its heat pump line. The digital control is easy to use, featuring pool and spa temperature settings along with full diagnostics. For those who prefer analog, Raypak offers a direct set thermostat with easy-to-read dials for precise water temperature selection. The digital display typically shows the current temperature, such as 82.0°F.
Spiral "Rifled" Titanium Tube Heat Exchanger
Constructed from titanium, known for its "nearly unbreakable" qualities, this heat exchanger design maximizes efficiency. The spiral rifling increases surface area for efficient heat transfer from super-heated gases to water. A titanium tube heat exchanger provides a truly efficient waterway that withstands the abuses of harsh pool chemistry and corrosion. The rifled design also helps reduce deposit build-up and increases efficiency through a "scoop-and-lift" action.
Copeland Scroll™ Compressor – Quiet & Reliable Operation
The Copeland Scroll compressor used in Raypak heat pumps is the same reliable component found in millions of air conditioners worldwide. Its simple design builds in reliability and allows for operation at lower sound and vibration levels than reciprocating compressors. Scroll compressors are up to three times quieter than reciprocating models. The design is robust with few moving parts. Because the Copeland Scroll compressor starts unloaded, strain on the motor is considerably reduced, and spiral components reposition themselves to protect the compressor from damage during rough operating conditions.
"Swept Wing" Fan Blades
Specially designed "Swept Wing" fan blades operate more efficiently and generate minimal sound, contributing to the overall quiet operation of Raypak heat pumps.
Fan Motor
Features a Premium Emerson® permanent-split capacitor (PSC), sealed ball bearing motor, matched specifically for the fan blade assembly to allow optimum efficiency and extended motor life.
Key Benefits: Quality • Reliability • Comfort
Extend Your Swim Season in Comfort
A Raypak heat pump can transform your backyard pool into a resort-style living space almost year-round. Enjoy your pool by keeping it comfortable and open longer. Raypak heat pumps offer the flexibility to warm your pool water in the months before and after the normal swim season, ensuring your backyard evening events are rarely slowed down by cool weather.
How Does a Heat Pump Work?
Raypak air-source heat pump pool heaters function much like a refrigerator in reverse. The heat pump extracts heat from the warm ambient air, intensifies it with a compressor, delivers the heat to the water, and exhausts the cooler air out the top of the unit. Because it uses the warm ambient air temperature, it is a very efficient way to heat water. The electricity powering the unit primarily operates the compressor and fan; the majority of the BTU output comes from the heat energy extracted from the air, which is why they operate so efficiently and provide significant energy savings.
Understanding C.O.P. (Coefficient Of Performance)
C.O.P. is the standard measure of efficiency for heat pump pool heaters. It is calculated as BTU Output divided by BTU Input.
Example Calculation for Raypak Model 5350ti:
Output = 92,000 btu
Input = 4.49 kW = 14,106 btu
C.O.P. = 92,000 btu / 14,106 btu = 6.0
Based on this calculation, a Raypak heat pump delivers efficiencies in excess of 600%, significantly higher than the maximum efficiency of a gas pool heater (99%).
Proven Performance and Certifications
Raypak is a proud member of AHRI. Our heat pump pool heaters are third-party tested and certified under the AHRI 1160 standard. All performance numbers are listed on the AHRI website directory. The units are tested at high and low ambient temperature conditions. Furthermore, most Raypak units meet or exceed the Florida 4.0 minimum C.O.P. requirement and are listed with the California Energy Commission. When shopping for a pool heat pump, look for the AHRI Certified logo for assurance of quality. Raypak heat pumps are also safety tested and certified by Intertek, ensuring that all components and electrical design meet or exceed the UL-1995 standard.
Specialized Models for Varied Climates
Heat-Cool Models
Raypak Heat-Cool units extend your swim season even longer, providing comfort in climates with cooler-than-comfortable temperatures and extremely hot summer months. These units can heat your pool water and also provide cool, refreshing chilled pool water during hot summer days. They feature a unique reversing valve and a defrost mode that melts ice in a matter of minutes when ambient air drops below approximately 45 degrees Fahrenheit.
Models: R6350ti-HC, R8350ti-HC
Power Defrost Models
Designed for climates that can challenge a heat pump's performance due to lower ambient temperatures, which can cause ice buildup on the condensing coil. Unlike standard units that stop heating during defrost, Raypak Power Defrost heat pumps continue to heat your pool water. The Power Defrost feature redirects a small amount of hot refrigerant gas back through the condensing coil to remove ice without stopping the heating process. This ensures continuous heating and quicker achievement of your desired swim temperature.
