Program Scope

A heat pump pool heater consists of one factory-made assembly, which contains the air moving device, compressor, refrigerant-to-water heat exchanger and air-to-refrigerant heat exchanger using ambient air as the heat source. Models may consist of more than one assembly to be used together for the purpose of cooling and heating water. Models with separate assemblies shall be designed to be used together, with certification based on the use of matched assemblies. Heat pump pool heaters shall provide the function of heating pool water to achieve a controlled temperature, but may include the functions of pool water cooling, air-heating, air cooling, air-circulating, air-cleaning, or dehumidifying.
