Noise Level
Competition's noise level (dB(A)) ranges from 52- 62 dB(A) comparable to a dishwasher! However, respectful consideration must be given to adjoining neighbours regarding installing any type of mechanical heater, be it gas, oil or an electric heat pump. What one noise level may be accepted or tolerated by one person may not be accepted by another!

Indoor Installation
As the Competition units are vertically mounted, they can be installed either outside or indside.
If installing inside, a through the wall ducting kit can be purchased to vent the fresh air to the unit and to extract the waste air.


What size heat pump do I require for my pool?
Competition's guide for the sizing of your heat pump is as per the table below:-
The sizing chart below assumes the following:-
• 15 deg C / 59F ambient air temperature (Realistic for start of season)
• Average wind speed 2.5 metres per second
• Desired water temperature 30 deg c / 86F
• Average pool depth 1.5m / 5ft
• No water table surrounding pool structure
• Minimum running time 10 hours per day
In the event that you are not able to meet the above criteria or for a more detailed analysis on heat loss or to size another pool please Contact Us.

Please do not be misguided
by high COP claims from other
manufactures. Many of these
claims are based on ambient air temperatures of 25 degC / 77F
which we feel are unrealistic at the beginning of the season |
