Flotide 9/32 Inverter Heat Pump

Description

Flotide 9/32 Selection & Quick Reference Guide

A compact, high-efficiency inverter heating system engineered for medium to large residential pools, wooden pools, and larger above-ground frame pools.)

Fast Buyer’s Guide & Pool Compatibility

• Target Application: Perfectly matched to residential swimming pools, wooden pools, and large above-ground frame pools between 25,000 and 45,000 litres requiring higher-output inverter heating.

• Price & Efficiency Value: An accessible inverter heat pump that eliminates complex installation setup costs. Replacing an older electric flow heater with this 6.5 kW stepped-inverter model cuts ongoing swimming pool energy bills by up to 70 to 80 percent.

• Physical Footprint: Compact horizontal layout with combined ABS and stainless steel construction. Fits comfortably on outdoor patios or alongside garden decking next to your existing filtration setup.

• Plumbing Adaptations Required: Supplied with standard 50 mm glue socket unions. If your pool uses standard 32 mm or 38 mm flexible hoses, simply add two 50 mm to 32/38 mm stepped hose adapters to connect to your existing pump and filter.

Energy-Efficient Step-Inverter Performance

Heating pools between 25 m³ and 45 m³ does not require high installation expenses or excessive electricity bills. The Flotide 9/32 Inverter Heat Pump brings variable-speed thermal regulation into a practical format. Pre-wired with a standard UK 3-pin mains plug, it connects directly into an RCD-protected outdoor socket to start warming your pool efficiently. Unlike traditional fixed-speed heaters, step-inverter technology automatically adjusts compressor output and fan speeds between pre-set levels based on real-time water conditions. Once your target temperature is reached, the unit throttles back to maintain warmth quietly while drawing minimal electrical power.

Durable ABS & Stainless Steel Cabinet

Built with a UV-stabilised ABS casing complemented by stainless steel structural components, the Flotide 9/32 resists harsh UK weather year-round. Inside, a pure titanium heat exchanger provides complete immunity against chemical erosion from chlorine, bromine, and salt chlorination systems. Its horizontal airflow design directs exhaust air away from surrounding patio seating areas.

Eco-Friendly Performance Down to Low Ambient Temps

Utilising low-GWP R32 refrigerant gas, this unit delivers high-efficiency heat exchange across variable ambient conditions down to sub-zero outdoor temperatures. Built-in automated defrost routines ensure uninterrupted warmth throughout the spring, summer, and autumn months.
