Therefore, a precise, personalized thermal assessment should be carried out by a professional.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWe strongly recommend the winter kit for your heat pump.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe purpose of the winter kit is to facilitate defrosting of the heat pump.\u003cbr\u003e Indeed, when outside temperatures are close to 0°C, heat pumps go through many defrost cycles. Given the ambient humidity, these cycles are not enough to fully defrost the heat pump, which gradually freezes up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe consequences are that condensates no longer drain, ice blocks the fan propeller, and the compressor strains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot only will the heat pump no longer provide full satisfaction, but you will also increase the risk of breakdowns that will not be covered by warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTo preserve your heat pump, it is therefore mandatory to install a winter kit.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis kit mainly consists of a heating cable and a crankcase heater that surrounds the compressor and runs along the evaporator, allowing for better fluid exchange and preventing the formation of frost or ice in the heat pump, and primarily promoting the drainage of condensation water created by the various exchanges at low temperatures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThis is no reason not to properly maintain your heat pump.\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFurthermore, despite the modifications made to the machine, the customer must ensure that there is no accumulation of impurities or ice in the bottom of the chassis, which could reduce the machine's efficiency and, in an extreme case, cause irreversible damage to your heat pump.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf ice accumulates, it is up to the user to remove this ice accumulation by pouring hot water on the evaporator coil.\u003cbr\u003e It is imperative to check that water circulates continuously when temperatures are negative. After a few hours, stagnant water can freeze and break the water circuit of your installation or your heat pump. The breakage will then not be covered by warranty. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"WARMPOOL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52139626463569,"sku":"KITHPACWP","price":360.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0965\/5880\/9425\/files\/4987-12157-0-kit-hivernage-pompe-a-chaleur-piscine-warmpool__73527__17485.1741077000.1280.1280.png?v=1760740738","url":"https:\/\/www.poolplanet.com\/en\/products\/kit-hivernage-pompes-a-chaleur-piscine-warmpool","provider":"Pool Planet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
