Designed for outdoor or indoor installation the RA heat pumpincorporates a Titanium heat exchanger and branded compressor,with galvanised steel cabinet for the standard 9kW and ABS weather proof cabinets for the deluxe 14 and 29 kW models.
The RA has the appearance of a traditional air conditioning unit. The circulation fan is mounted on the side , therefore extracting and exhausting the air from the sides. Purchasing a 'through-wall' indoor ducting kit allows this heater to be installed in an indoor environment. for a really convenient installation the deluxe models have connections for plumbing on either side of the cabinet. RA14 and RA29 use the most up to date 410A environmentally friendly refrigerant.
Installing the RA indoors has the added benefit of:-
- Minimal noise output - as the circulating fan is housed indoors it is ideal for situations where noise issues maybe a problem e.g. adjoining neighbours or close proximity to house or bathing area.
- Extra heat can be extracted from inside the housing i.e. shed, green house, garage etc and transferred to the pool water
- Heater is unseen
- No corrosion issues
- No need to cover in winter as debris cannot enter heat pump
A perfect all-rounder, the option of indoor or outdoor installation is a real benefit. The 9kW is an ideal size for the smaller pool installation and is very reasonably priced! The RA model incorporates a plastic circulation fan and is naturally quieter than most other heat pumps.
