Why Titanium?
WE USE BARE METAL
WE USE NO COATINGS THAT REDUCE HEAT TRANSFER
It's BULLETPROOF to Chlorine, Bromine
and All Other Common Pool Chemicals!
HEAT SIPHON IS THE ONLY
POOL HEATER EQUIPPED WITH A PURE TITANIUM , ELECTRICALLY ISOLATED
HEAT EXCHANGER ON EVERY UNIT AND ALL MODELS and WE GUARANTEE THE
HEAT EXCHANGER CORROSION FREE FOR LIFE!! PERIOD!!
Although Pool Heat Pumps
offer up to 80% savings in fuel costs and are generally much more
reliable and safer than gas pool heaters, chemical and galvanic
corrosion can TOTALLY RUIN swimming pool heat pumps!
The chemicals in pool water, including
chlorine, bromine and muriatic acid, can be extremely corrosive,
especially when pools are shocked and very high levels of chlorine
exist or if the owner lets the pool chemistry get out of balance
or if chlorine tablets are put in the skimmer. Most pool heaters
use copper or cupronickel heat exchangers, both of which will
rapidly corrode in this water.
In the case of heat pumps, if
a water heat exchanger gets a hole in it (usually due to corrosion)
and pool water enters the sealed refrigeration system, the entire
heat pump is ruined!! Even if the heat pump is not running, once
a leak has allowed all of the freon to bleed out, the pool pump
will produce enough pressure to force water into the heat exchanger
and eventually into the compressor. Once water enters the compressor,
its internal parts will begin to corrode since they are made of
carbon steel. In addition, the copper tubing in the evaporator will
also begin to corrode, especially if the water is high in chlorine
or acid content (the same conditions that caused the heat exchanger
to corrode.)
Only commercially pure titanium
tubing virtually eliminates all chemical corrosion, AND ONLY HEAT
SIPHON HAS TITANIUM! |
