Faced with the challenges of climate change and changing European regulations, Aquark is anticipating the future with innovative, environmentally-friendly solutions for heating swimming pools.
Innovative, efficient, and environmentally friendly R290 solutions are revolutionising the pool heating market
The recent United Nations COP29 climate summit highlighted the urgent need for a shift to natural refrigerants, an area where Europe has already taken significant steps.
As industries prepare for the EU's revised F-Gas regulation, which bans refrigerants with a GWP of 150 or higher by 2027, the clock is ticking for transformative solutions. In the pool heating sector, R290 is emerging as a promising alternative, offering unparalleled potential for efficiency, safety, and eco-friendliness. Some industries were ready for this unstoppable transformation as nearly 40 companies showcased their latest R290 heat pump innovations at the ISH, the world's leading trade fair for HVAC+Water. More and more companies like Aquark like Aquark are driving progress in this transition, paving the way for the next generation of sustainable pool heat pumps.
2025 may be the critical moment to seize the opportunity offered by R290
The transition to natural refrigerants is reshaping the pool heat pump industry and 2025 may be the critical moment to seize the opportunity offered by R290. For pool professionals, the next two swimming seasons are crucial for transitioning to R290 technology.
Aquark is investing actively in this transition by developing equipment at the cutting edge of technology. Its first heat pump dedicated to R290 incorporates a specially designed compressor and a completely closed circulation system, guaranteeing maximum safety. Thanks to the energy efficiency of R290, this heat pump promises an impressive COP of 23, while using a reduced refrigerant charge compared with R32 solutions. Besides, Aquark's R290 offers a 130% turbo mode for fast heating, ensuring the pool is always ready in record time.
Aquark's commitment to R290 ensures that its heat pumps are not only environmentally friendly but also future-proof, enabling businesses to stay competitive in a rapidly evolving market.
