The Sweet Spot — Great for Most UK Pools
The Flotide S7 hits the perfect balance of power and value for most UK pool owners. It comes with a UK 13A plug already attached — no electrician, no wiring, no fuss. Just connect to your filtration system, plug in, and enjoy warm pool water within hours.
🎯 Perfect For
-
Above-ground pools up to 40,000 litres (40m³)
-
In-ground pools up to 40m³ with good insulation
-
Frame pools (Intex, Bestway, etc.) 15ft–18ft round or equivalent rectangular
-
Seasonal use from April to October (operates down to -7°C ambient)
Suitable for all pool types — in-ground, above-ground, steel wall, liner, frame pools, and wooden pools.
💷 Running Costs — Exposed
Unlike gas or electric heaters, the Flotide S7 delivers up to 6.79kW of heat for every 1kW of electricity consumed (COP 6.79). That's over 80% free energy extracted from the air!
What does it actually cost to run?
- Power input: 1.15–1.65kW depending on air temperature
- At 21p per kWh, that's approximately 24p–35p per hour when the compressor is running
- Over an 8-hour period: approximately £1.93–£2.77
Lower end at 15°C ambient (spring/autumn), higher end at 27°C ambient (summer). Based on 21p/kWh. Actual costs depend on your tariff, outside air temperature, and pool temperature.
🌡️ Smart Thermostat Operation
The Flotide S7 works just like a thermostat. Set your desired pool temperature and the heat pump does the rest:
- The heat pump heats your pool water to your target temperature
- Once reached, the compressor shuts off automatically
- When the water drops 2°C below your target, it kicks back in
This means your heat pump is not running 24/7 — it cycles on and off as needed to maintain your perfect temperature. Once your pool is up to temperature, running costs drop significantly as it only needs to top up heat lost overnight or on cooler days.
🔧 Simple Setup — True Plug & Play
No electrical wiring required. The Flotide S7 comes with a UK 13A plug already attached — genuine plug and play. Just follow this simple plumbing setup:
Pool (water out) → Pump / Filter → Heat Pump → Pool (water in)
- Position the heat pump near your filtration system (allow 50cm airflow clearance around the unit)
- Connect the inlet pipe from your pump/filter outlet to the heat pump
- Connect the outlet pipe from the heat pump back to your pool return
- Plug into a standard UK 13A socket
- Set your desired temperature — done!
