Product Description

The Summit Heat Pump with Titanium Heat Exchanger is one of INYO Pool Products most popular heat pumps because it combines all the features our customers have asked for, all at an unbelievable price! These features include Titanium Heat Exchanger, Scroll Compressor, Digital Controls and A warranty that will not be voided due to improper pool water chemistry.

The Scroll Compressor allows the Summit to operate very quietly even at lower temperatures and has a much higher COP rating than older piston style compressors, the higher COP rating means lower operational costs. We highly recommend using a solar blanket when using any Heat Pump to cut down your operational costs by up to 40% more. Click Here for a full line of Solar Blankets and Reels.

The following items are the major components that make Summit pool heaters the most effective and durable on the market.

SCROLL COMPRESSOR
Scroll compressors manufactured by Copeland generate a greater quantity of heat with 10% higher efficiency than piston compressors at lower ambient air temperatures for enhanced heating efficiency. Furthermore, Scroll compressors are quieter and longer-lasting because they have only two moving parts compared with fifteen parts in two-cylinder piston compressors.

TITANIUM HEAT EXCHANGER
Titanium, the only metal resistant to the chemicals added to swimming pool water, allows excellent thermal exchange and a ten-year warranty.

VALVE
Thermostatic expansion valves protect compressors and ensure the right quantity of Freon is provided to obtain maximum energy efficiency no matter the outside temperatures.

NEW FAN BLADES
This new patented fan blade reduces noise from 5 to 6 decibels while increasing fan capacity.

MOTOR
Fan motors are completely sealed and permanently lubricated.

FILTER
This type of filter provides heat pumps with additional protection against moisture and contamination.

EXCLUSIVE SOUND PROOFING
Acoustic cover protectors developed by the Summit team make units practically noiseless and protect them against harsh weather.

WIRE PROTECTION

Rust-free plastic wire netting protects evaporator coils and is less unsightly.

ELECTRONIC CONTROL

The electronic service analyzing control card is very accurate. It has a microcomputer processor that indicates any defective operation.

How long should pump run on FS code (defrost)? Outside temp here is around 15 C.
 Reply

A  Answered on 6/20/2015 by InyoPools Product Specialist Brian M.

This is what I could find in the owners manual " Unit currently in defrosting cycle ( the fan works but the compressor is stopped). This is normal operation when the outside temperatures are cold. " The down side is that it does not describe whar " cold " means to them.  The contact number for Summit is 908-355-7995. They are now owned by Hayward. Their technicians should be able to give you the definition of " cold " .
