Waterco Electroheat MKV Wi-Fi Heat Pump
Energy-efficient Wi-Fi pool heating with corrosion-resistant construction, smart temperature control and reliable performance for extending the swimming season.
Efficient Pool Heating Without Relying on the Sun
Extend your swimming season and enjoy a more comfortable pool temperature with the Waterco Electroheat MKV Wi-Fi Pool Heat Pump.
Rather than generating heat directly like a conventional electric heater, the Electroheat MKV captures heat energy from the surrounding air and transfers it into your pool water. This allows the system to produce up to approximately 6kW of heat energy for every 1kW of electricity consumed, depending on operating conditions.
Unlike solar pool heating, a heat pump doesn't require direct sunshine to operate, giving you far greater control over when and how your pool is heated.
Control Your Pool Heating From Your Phone
Built-in Wi-Fi connectivity allows the Electroheat MKV to connect to the Waterco Connect app, giving you convenient control over your pool heating from your smartphone.
You can remotely monitor and adjust your selected pool temperature, making it easier to have the water ready when you want to swim.
Whether you're at home or away, you can check and manage your pool heating without needing to access the equipment area.
Designed for Australian Conditions
The Electroheat MKV features Waterco's Hydrophilic Blue Fin evaporator technology, designed to improve corrosion resistance while maintaining efficient heat transfer.
This makes the MKV particularly well suited to pools located in coastal, humid or harsh outdoor environments, where standard evaporator coils can be more exposed to corrosion.
A robust weatherproof cabinet also helps protect the internal components while contributing to reduced operating noise and vibration.
Titanium Heat Exchanger
At the heart of the Electroheat MKV is a dual-coil titanium heat exchanger.
Titanium provides excellent resistance to pool chemicals and is suitable for use with saltwater, chlorinated and other commonly sanitised swimming pools.
The dual-coil design maximises contact between the heated refrigerant and pool water, helping transfer heat efficiently into the pool.
Quiet, Efficient Operation
Waterco has designed the Electroheat MKV with noise reduction in mind.
A combination of sound-absorbing materials, optimised housing design and a large-diameter fan helps minimise operating noise while efficiently moving air through the evaporator.
Its high-quality scroll compressor is designed to provide strong heating performance and dependable operation.
Smart Controls & Built-In Protection
An intuitive digital control panel provides straightforward temperature management and system information directly from the unit.
The MKV also incorporates built-in safety features designed to monitor:
-
Water flow
-
Refrigerant conditions
-
Compressor start-up delay
-
System operation and self-diagnostics
A dedicated refrigerant pressure gauge also allows the refrigerant charge condition to be checked during servicing.
Improved Condensate Management
Heat pumps naturally produce condensation during operation.
The Electroheat MKV includes two fitted drainage spigots, allowing condensate drainage hoses to be connected and helping prevent water from pooling around the equipment area.
This is a simple feature, but an important one for keeping a professionally installed equipment area clean and tidy.
Available Heating Capacities
The Waterco Electroheat MKV range is available in:
-
9kW
-
12kW
-
14kW
-
19kW
-
22kW
Correct heat-pump sizing is extremely important and depends on more than pool volume alone.
Factors including pool size, desired temperature, use of a pool cover, wind exposure, ambient temperature, water features and the months you want to swim all affect the heating capacity required.
