HEAT SIPHON HAS A PURE TITANIUM , ELECTRICALLY ISOLATED HEAT EXCHANGER ON EVERY UNIT AND ALL MODELS.  WE GUARANTEE THE HEAT EXCHANGER CORROSION FREE FOR LIFE!! PERIOD!!The Heat Siphon comes to you with a reputation for reliability that no other pool heater can beat. The new Titanium Technology - separates the Heat Siphon from its competitors. Backed by a set of powerful warranties including a life time guarantee. "HEAT SIPHON" SX5.0HP 109,000 BTU's with 7.6 COP (efficiency) @ 80F, 80%RH The higher the COP, the lower the electric bill. With-Titanium- Heat -Exchanger-and-a-Scroll-Compressor Why Titanium: It has a life time guarantee and it is bulletproof to Chlorine, Bromine, Salt Water, and All Other Common Pool Chemicals!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, it 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.   Why Scroll Compressor: 12% More Efficient - Quieter - Less Parts - More Durable The SX5HP Heat Siphons  comes with a SCROLL compressor, manufactured by Copeland, world leader in refrigerant compressors. Unlike all conventional heat pump compressors which use a piston and two check valves to compress refrigerant to make heat, the SCROLL compressor has two scrolls that rotate around each other to continuously compress refrigerant WITH NO VALVES, and offers the following advantages: 1. Higher Heat Output - Because there is no re-expansion of refrigerant gas during compression, SCROLL Heat Siphons will have a higher heat output at low air temperatures, where piston compressors heat output falls off. ABOUT 12% MORE HEAT FOR YOUR POOL WHEN YOU NEED IT!! 2. Durability - A Fixed Scroll and an Orbiting Scroll are all that is required to compress freon gas. This replaces approximately 15 parts in a piston compressor. LESS WEAR PARTS MEANS MORE RELIABILITY. And because the SCROLL is designed to be compliant, it will accept and handle incompressible liquid refrigerant which may enter the compressor in cold air temperatures or at initial start-up where the evaporator may be unable to completely evaporate all of the liquid refrigerant. A piston compressor's check valves would be damaged. 3. QUIETNESS - A continuous squeeze of gas by two scrolls replaces the reciprocating piston compression and valves opening and slamming shut. Scrolls can be perfectly balanced and coupled with the continuous flow they eliminate valve noise.   How it Works: Heat Siphon® is a stand alone heat pump designed specifically for recreational water heating (in ground, on ground or above ground pools, spas, hot tubs, swim spa's) . If you have an air conditioner, dehumidifier, water cooler or a refrigerator, you already own a heat pump. All these appliances use the same dependable technology to move heat from one place to another using electric power and a sealed refrigerant compression system. Just like a room air conditioner moves 2 to 3 units of heat from your home for every unit of electricity it consumes, Heat Siphon® uses 1 unit of electric energy to MOVE 4 units of HEAT FROM THE AIR which delivers 5 units of heat to your pool water. A unit of electrical energy (you pay for) runs the compressor which sucks evaporating freon gas from the liqid filled evaporator tube (4) . This causes a stong cooling effect (just like sweat evaporates from you skin & cools you off). The gas picks up four units of heat (FREE) from the air flowing over the outside of the evaporator tubes. The compressor squeezes this gas, causing its temperature to climb above 200°F (93°C) , Result: Five units of heat added to the gas. The hot, high pressure gas flows through the inside of the condenser coil. The colder 80°F (26°C) pool water picks up the five units of heat cooling the freon down back to a liquid. The warm liquid is forced through a valve. As it drops in pressure, it rapidly expands and becomes extremely cold liquid . This liquid flows back into the evaporator at 4 where it repeats the cycle.  Heat Siphon® is Very Simple to Install No gas lines, tanks, heat sinks or wind breaksJust PVC pipe and electrical wireIt should take only a few hours.   Heat Siphon® Warranty Policy for the USA and CanadaManufactured by U.S. ThermoAmp Inc. All parts in the Heat Siphon® are warranted for two (2) year materials and labor. The compressor is warranted for five (5) years. The condenser is warranted corrosion free for the LIFE of the Heat Siphon®.
