FAQ'S

Water evaporates no matter what temperature or what condition it is in, it will evaporate if left exposed.

You can reduce the amount of evaporation by covering the pool when not in use but you cannot eliminate it.

If left uncovered the evaporation would produce high humidity’s in the pool hall and promote mould and corrosion of the building structure.

You can but you will not get the correct amount of air that is required and you will not be able to hold the room temperature in the winter.

You can but the air that is extracted must be replaced and it will cost a lot of money to reheat the air that is drawn into the pool from outside.

Recotherm have been building ventilation systems for indoor pools for 26 years and have refined there system so to reduce the running cost to as little as possible.

A simple off the shelf ventilation unit would not be able to offer the energy saving features of the Recotherm unit and would not be able to with stand the corrosive effects of the swimming pool atmosphere. Recotherm have units in operation that have been running for 25 years.

No Recotherm have single phase units up to and including 1m3/s which is large enough to accommodate a 100 m2 domestic pool.

Yes the units can be weather proof for external use but the display panel must be sited internally or protected in a weatherproof box.

Yes the display panel can be sited up to 800m from the unit and is connected by a core

A pool cover would reduce the evaporation from the pool. We would highly recommend a pool cover for domestic application where the pool is only in use for 1 to 2 hours a day. For commercial use the advantages are less clear you may wish to have the pool uncovered for aesthetic reasons or the hours of usage may be so long that the pool is only covered for a short period and getting your money back within the life of the cover may not be possible

Yes because the pooled the evaporation is low and therefore reducing the air temperature will have only a minor effect on the rate of evaporation. This can be linked into the Recotherm unit so that the temperature is automatically reduced when the pool cover is on.

Yes a spa pool is at a high temperature than the pool and when in use is highly active you should let whoever is selecting the unit know that you have a spa and what size it is.

Yes the unit is there to protect the building structure but if the hall is well insulated and you use a pool cover then the unit will slow down to it minimum speed and use only a small amount of electricity to power the return fan.

No, a heat pump dehumidifier is just a different type of unit it works by recirculating the air and removing moisture in a direct expansion evaporator the heat from this process is then use to heat the air and water.

Unfortunately, the dehumidification process runs on electricity which is expensive and by recirculating the air without removing the chlorine and body odour smells it give a poor atmosphere in the pool hall. The Recotherm unit will give you a better atmosphere and cost less to operate.
