  • Mini pompe à chaleur piscine - Gre - 4,2 kW
    Les pompes à chaleur HPM de la marque GRE pourront chauffer aisément votre piscine hors-sol de 10 m³ jusqu'à 40m³. Les degrés gagnés ainsi vous permettront de profiter de votre piscine sur une période plus longue, que les 2 mois estivaux habituels. Pour faire fonctionner ces pompes de manière optimale, il faudra que votre système de filtration ait un débit minimum de 2 m³/h. Ce modèle silencieux sera simple à installer. Il ne nécessite pas l'utilisation de kit by-pass, il suffira de le brancher en série après votre système de filtration. Avantages des pompes à chaleur HPM Les pompes à chaleur HPM fabriquées par GRE possèdent différents avantages : Rallonger la saison de baignade - En chauffant votre piscine la saison commencera plus tôt et finira plus tard. Installation facile - Pas besoin de système bypass. Gaz R32 - Un gaz qui est respectueux de l'environnement. Relativement silencieux - Le bruit ne sera pas dérangeant lorsque vous serez en extérieur Le gaz R32, un gaz respectueux de l'environnement La marque Gre a décidé d'utiliser le gaz R32 pour faire fonctionner ses pompes à chaleur HPM. Le gaz R32 est un 'fluide frigorigène', c'est à dire un fluide capable de transférer de la chaleur. Il est actuellement le meilleur substitue au gaz R410A fréquemment utilisé. Le gaz R32 est un gaz qui est respectueux de l'environnement. Ce gaz aura un impact environnemental 75% moins élevé par rapport aux autres 'gaz frigorigène'. Il sera aussi plus facilement recyclable et vous offrira un gain de performance thermique 6% à 7%. Une performance plus élevée vous permettra de diminuer votre consommation énergétique et donc d'en diminuer sa facture. Caractéristiques des pompes à chaleur HPM Les pompes à chaleur HPM profitent de bonnes performances. Le COP est le coefficient de performance. Plus précisément, c'est le rapport entre la quantité d'énergie produite (en kW/h) et la quantité d'énergie utilisée (en kW/h). Par exemple, lorsque votre pompe utilise 1 kW/h et qu'elle restitue 3 kW/h de chaleur. Vous avez multiplié par 3 les kW/h donc le COP sera de 3. Le coefficient de performance (COP) minimum pour une pompe à chaleur est de 3. Cette pompe à chaleur dispose d'un COP de 4,2.

Intex Pool Pump Introduction

History of Intex

Intex Recreation Corp. has been bringing smiles and outdoor fun to families for over 40 years now. With over 100 countries where the Intex products are distributed, it’s of high importance that this company tests its products. In many of its modern facilities, the final product is tested before being packaged and sold at retail. This company’s adherence to safety standards and a dedication to its customers and sterling reputation make Intex and the Intex pool pumps and filters valuable purchases.

Types of Pool Pumps

Intex swimming pool pumps come in various applications. If you want a cartridge-based system, they offer these pool pumps in a durable form between $50 and $120 or so. Most intex above ground pool pumps come in cartridge or sand filter form. These cartridges should be changed according to the manufacturer’s specification. For both cartridge and sand filter type of pumps, the parts and support needed for these are available straight from Intex itself.

Reasons to Get a Pool Pump

Pool pumps are essential. It’s important to keep water moving because, otherwise, it will develop bacteria when it is stagnant. It is also vital to make sure Intex pool pumps are installed properly because they help drive your filter system as well. Without proper filtration and movement of your pool water, the following will occur.

  • Bacteria forms
  • Water becomes murky
  • The swimming experience is compromised
  • pH levels come off-balance and may cause skin irritation

And you may even void the warranty of your pool if you do not maintain it per manufacturer’s suggestion.

When the pool is small, you need a small pool pump. If you buy a large one for a smaller pool, it may be efficient but a lot of power will go wasted. Also, a larger pump can end up damaging the plumbing. A small pump for a large pool, on the other hand, is just not efficient. Thus, the size is very important when it comes to choosing a pool pump.
  • Power: You should make sure you buy a pool pump with the right power. An overly powerful pool pump will damage the heater and filter of your swimming pool. Ask an expert if you are doubtful, consider the size of your pool, and then make an informed decision.

  • Speed: Pool pumps come in varying speed types. The basic one is the single speed pump. You also have variable speed pumps, which are the best choice because you can change the speed according to the requirement and that will help you save some money. This is also an important factor in choosing a pool pump.

Easy Steps On How To Prime A Pool Pump

Do you know how to prime a pool pump? Priming a pool pump involves the addition of water so that the air inside the pool pump is expelled. You have to prime a pool pump as soon as you buy it before running it. Priming is the preparatory step. Priming is also important as the season changes. At the start of each season, you should prime your pool pump. Only in the beginning you will find that the process is a little arduous. Once you get the hang of it you will understand that it is easy and can be done quickly without hassle.

Easy To Follow Steps

Here are quick steps on how to prime a pool pump:

  • To start off with, you should turn the pool pump off. It is very important to make sure that the pump is off. Don’t try priming it while it is on.
  • You will see the lid of the pump. Lift it with care and open it. Make sure you do this slowly because pressure will be released. Don’t panic if you hear a hissing sound. It is completely normal and just shows that the pressure is being released.
  • Excluding the main drain, close all the valves of the pump. The skimmer lines should also be closed. Some pumps don’t have the other valves and skimmer lines. They only have main drain. If yours is a similar type of pump, you don’t need to think about this step. Just skip it.
  • Take a bucket with at least two-gallon capacity. Fill it with water. Now start pouring the water into your pool pump. One important thing to note in how to prime a pool pump is that the water should not overflow here. You should pour the water slowly. Let the water go down the plumbing line while pouring it.
  • Once you are done, place the lid back on and then screw it in place. You will see knobs and screws to be tightened. Don’t use special tools to tighten them. Your hands are enough.
  • Turn your pool pump on now. All the water that has remained will be sucked out. The water will start bubbling as it returns slowly to the pump. It won’t take more than a minute though.
  • Once the water stops bubbling, open the valves if there are any. If not, you are done.

Now that you know how to prime a pool pump, you don’t need to worry about it anymore. Be sure to prime your pool pump at the start of every season.

When making a purchase, be sure to buy only good brands such as Intex pool pumpsYou can buy them over the Internet, too.
