POOL INVERTA HEAT PUMP BARACUDA NEO HP35
Powerful Heating Solution for Pools up to 60,000 Litres
Product Description
The Baracuda NEO HP35 Inverter Pool Heat Pump is a residential pool heating unit designed for swimming pools and home leisure spas up to 60,000 litres. It is part of the Baracuda NEO inverter heat pump range and is suited to pool owners who want better control over water temperature without relying only on hot weather and direct sunlight.
South African pool water can cool down quickly overnight, after rain, during windy weather or outside peak summer. A pool heat pump helps by moving heat from the surrounding air into the pool water. This can make the pool more comfortable to use through more of the year, especially when used with a pool cover to reduce heat loss.
The Baracuda NEO HP35 uses inverter heat pump technology, which allows the unit to adjust its output according to the heating demand. This supports efficient operation compared with a basic fixed output system. The supplied product information lists an A+ energy efficiency rating and COP over 12, although real world performance depends on air temperature, water temperature, humidity, wind, sun exposure, plumbing setup, pool cover use and target water temperature.
For control, the HP35 includes a smart LCD touchscreen. It is also WiFi enabled, allowing users to control and monitor the heat pump through the dedicated app where configured. This is useful when you want to check the pool temperature or adjust settings before using the pool.
The HP35 uses R32 refrigerant, which is commonly used in modern heat pump systems. The supplied product information also lists a low noise design with a unique fan blade and rotary compressor system, making it suitable for residential properties where sound levels and heat pump placement matter.
The Baracuda NEO HP35 is also listed as solar ready, which means it can be combined with suitable solar pool heating systems. Correct plumbing, control setup and installation are important when combining heating methods.
For best results, the HP35 should be installed by a qualified pool professional and electrician. Correct water flow, bypass plumbing, electrical supply, airflow clearance and condensate drainage all affect performance. A pool cover is strongly recommended with any pool heat pump because it helps reduce heat loss, especially overnight and during windy conditions.
