Polytropic has developed innovative pool heating systems for over 20 years. Its new ELITE R290 range of swimming pool heat pumps provides an answer to today's environmental concerns thanks to its use of R290 (propane) refrigerant fluid.

Natural refrigerant, enhanced performance and exclusive Polytropic technologies

Natural, efficient and not subject to F-Gas III restrictions, propane provides improved COP while remaining environmentally neutral. It also enables the temperature range to be extended to -25 °C, for use in harsh climates.

The ELITE R290 heat pump also incorporates full-inverter technology, for controlled energy consumption (2D Technology). 

Among its long-awaited features, the water flow display (a Polytropic exclusive) ensures that the heat pump offers the highest performance. This display enables the easy adjustment of the by-pass or speed, ensuring optimum COP, improved energy yield and savings. 

Its other advantages: the Power Boost mode (heating time reduced by 20%), R290 pressure display (for the optimisation of hydraulic settings and yield), cutting-edge design, a colour touchscreen, 3 modes - heating, cooling, automatic - and an exclusive system for low-temperature operation. 

Another of the ELITE R290 heat pump's assets is that it enables hybrid installation, associated with the photovoltaic panels of the PolySolar Energy System, to reduce energy consumption even further.

The PolyConnect Inside module (Wi-Fi and 4G dongle included) enables users to control their heat pump directly via their smartphone, and the technicians of the Polytropic Technicentre can monitor the machine's operation. 

With this model of pool heat pump, Polytropic has anticipated the restrictions concerning fluorinated refrigerants (HFC) in the European Union, offering an efficient, durable and environmentally-friendly heat pump.
