💰 Excellent Value Heat Pump for Medium Pools
The Flotide A13/32 delivers 12.5kW of heating capacity at an affordable price point. Perfect for pool owners who want reliable, efficient heating without the premium cost of inverter technology. A proven workhorse for UK pools.
🎯 Perfect For
-
Above-ground pools and medium in-ground pools up to 55,000 litres (55m³)
-
Seasonal swimmers — operates above 7°C (April–October in UK)
-
Budget-conscious buyers seeking proven reliability
-
Frame pools 18ft+ or equivalent permanent installations
⚡ Proven Technology
The A-series uses traditional on/off compressor technology — simple, reliable, and well-proven over millions of installations worldwide. With a COP of 6.06, you get over 6kW of heat for every 1kW of electricity — still 80% free energy from the air!
💷 Running Costs
For a 45,000L pool, expect approximately £4–£7 per day to maintain temperature. Compare to £40–£60/day for a 12kW electric heater — savings of up to £1,000+ per season.
🔇 Quiet Operation
At just 39dB from 10 metres — similar to a quiet library — this is one of the quietest heat pumps in its class.
