Waterco Electroheat MKV Heat pump

Waterco Ltd has re-designed its popular side vented Electroheat MKV heat pump, which is not only sporting a new pewter colour but a special evaporator coating that ensures high heat transfer and corrosion resistance for pool and spa owners living in humid or coastal environments.

Additional improvements based on customer and sales feedback include a robust exterior to reduce noise and vibration and a pressure gauge indicating the level of refrigerant charge held within the unit which uses ozone friendly R410A refrigerant. 

And to prevent condensation pooling around the unit, it now includes fitted spigots for drainage hose connection.

Compared to gas and electric heaters, the Electroheat MKV pool heat pump range use just a fraction of the energy to generate the same amount of heat and unlike solar heating; there is no reliance on the sun as the latent heat in the air is used. 

Key features of Waterco’s Electroheat MKV heat pump:

• Energy efficient – uses 1kW to produce up to 6kW of heat

• Unique modern robust design – noise and vibration reduction

• Hydrophilic Blue fin evaporator technology – improves corrosion resistance

• Dual coil heat exchange – increases heat pump’s performance

• Improved condensate collection – two fitted spigots allow drainage hose connection

• Refrigerant pressure gauge – indicate the level of gas charge
