Product Description

Best of Power & Efficiency

The Pentair UltraTemp VXi heat pump automatically heats or cools your pool according to the desired temperature. It adapts to outdoor conditions to ensure optimum bathing comfort while minimising energy consumption.

Equipped with full-inverter technology, the new Pentair UltraTemp VXi heat pump delivers powerful, yet quiet, performance, thanks to the combination of a variable speed compressor and fan motor. They adjust their speed automatically following the operating mode selected by the user via the colour touchscreen or optional app.

With its top vent design, the VXi eliminates horizontal clearance requirements, making it perfect for compact or restricted installations.

Benefits:

High Efficiency

With a COP as high as 14.5, the UltraTemp offers over six times more heat power than electrical power input. Giving you exceptional performance at the lowest running cost.

Titanium Threaded Heat Exchanger

Provides maximum corrosion/erosion resistance, and improves heat transfer efficiency by up to 30%. Its rotating water flow also improves descale ability.

Multi-function Modes

Switches mode between heating and cooling and offers auto defrost by changing the refrigerant flow path.

Electronic Expansion Valve

The EEV supports automatic adjustment of refrigerant flow rate and makes the system work under optimized conditions for the purpose of fast heating and energy saving. The EEV is better than capillary tube.

Coloured LCD Touchscreen

Easy to use and intuitive design for easy programming. Clear digital display for better visibility. Control module can either be wall-mounted or free standing.

Colour-coded Ports

Comes in very easy to identify coloured ports. BLUE for the cold water inlet and RED for the warm water outlet.

Electroplated Condenser

Repels water for quick defrosting, corrosion protection and accelerates the evaporation rate improving heat transfer efficiency.

Wi-Fi Module

Every unit comes with a Wi-Fi module. Uses 'Handy-Heat' app which allows you to control the unit anywhere in the world. Module cable can be extended to improve signal range.

Plastic/Metal Enclosure

Made of rust-proof ABS top front panels and powder- coated steel rear panel for protecting delicate screen fins.

Highlights:

Digital controls with dual thermostats offer precise temperature control for pool/spa combinations and avoid overheating and energy waste.
Self-diagnostic controls monitor and troubleshoot heat pump operations to ensure safer, dependable operation.
Long-life, corrosion-resistant composite cabinet retains a like-new appearance for years.
Pump output provided so heat pump can operate independently of the filtration system, turning pump on and off with its own time clock.

Features:

Pentair heat pumps transfer heat from the air into the pool using only a fraction of the energy required to heat the pool directly.
The UltraTemp VXi heat pump offers best in class efficiency with COP (coefficient of performance) ratings far in excess of standard heat pumps.
The UltraTemp VXi heat pumps feature variable speed compressors and fan motors (full inverter). These operate at reduced speed when full power is not required, cutting electricity costs and noise.
Pentair heat pumps use the EPA-recognized, environmentally safe, non-ozone depleting R32 refrigerant. This allows the UltraTemp VXi heat pump to be awarded the Eco Select brand accolade for environmental responsibility.
100% titanium heat exchanger assures corrosionfree performance for extra long life and value.
Full-colour, LCD touchscreen displays an intuitive, menu with easy to follow icons and messages.
Self-diagnostic software continuously monitors system for peak performance.
Thermostatic Expansion Valve (TXV) controls refrigerant flow and optimises efficiency over a wider operating temperature range.
Automatic defrost feature senses refrigerant temperature and helps prevent the UltraTemp heat pump from freezing, allowing the unit to operate effectively at lower temperatures.
Perfect companion to IntelliCenter or EasyTouch Control Systems—heat pump control can be transferred to a centralised control system that manages all your pool/spa operations and poolscape features.
Easy barrel union plumbing connections.
Vertical exhaust for installations with limited space.

Ventilation Requirements:

The diagram displays the minimum outdoor ventilation area required for optimum performance.
However, each installation must also be evaluated, taking into account the prevailing local conditions such as proximity and height of walls, and proximity to public access areas. The UltraTemp Heat Pump must be placed to provide clearances on all sides for maintenance and inspection.

Water Chemistry Requirements:

Proper chemical balances are necessary for sanitary bathing conditions as well as ensuring your heat pump’s long life. Be sure to keep your chemical and mineral concentration levels within the values indicated in the table below. Failure to maintain proper water chemistry may cause damage to the UltraTemp Heat Pump.

Test	Recommended Level
Free Chlorine	1.0 to 3.0 ppm (3.0 to 5.0 spa)
Bromine	2.0 to 4.0 ppm (3.0 to 5.0 spa)
pH	7.4 to 7.6
Total Alkalinity (TA) with Calcium, Lithium, and Sodium Hydrochlorite	80 to 100 ppm
Total Alkalinity (TA) with Sodium Dichlor, Trichlor, Chlorine Gas, and Bromine Compounds	100-120 ppm

Cyanuric Acid (Stabiliser)	30 to 50 ppm (less than 30ppm with ORP controllers)
Total Dissolved Solids (TDS)	Less than 2000 ppm
Copper	0 ppm
