Hayward Summit 90,000 BTU Heat Pump
## Hayward Summit 90,000 BTU Pool Heat Pump
Extend your swimming season and experience unparalleled energy efficiency with the Hayward Summit Heat Pump (90,000 BTUs). Engineered to balance high-capacity thermal output with whisper-quiet operation, the Summit series absorbs ambient heat from the surrounding air and transfers it directly into your pool water. Boasting an elite **Coefficient of Performance (COP) of 5.5 to 5.7**, this unit returns over five times the energy it consumes, delivering massive operational savings compared to traditional gas heaters.
Built for heavy-duty outdoor resilience, the Summit features the industry's *only* **Ultra Gold Corrosion-Resistant Evaporator Fin**, providing extreme structural durability against harsh weather, acidic rain, and coastal environments. Operating at a mere 55 decibels, this heat pump runs virtually silent from just a few meters away, allowing you to enjoy peaceful backyard conversations without mechanical distraction.
### Advanced Thermal Engineering & Heavy-Duty Components
* **Pure Titanium Heat Exchanger:** Formulated from industrial-grade titanium to guarantee total immunity to aggressive pool chemistry, salt-chlorine shock cycles, and rust, ensuring maximum thermal transfer for over a decade.
* **Ultra Gold Fin Protection:** The proprietary gold-coated evaporator coil acts as an armor shield against ambient oxidation and chemical breakdown, substantially outlasting standard bare-aluminum fins.
* **Intelligent Hot Gas Defrost:** Equipped with an active hot gas bypass valve that prevents frost buildup on the coils, allowing the heat pump to maintain optimized heating performance even in chilly shoulder-season air as low as 50°F (10°C).
* **Acoustic Sound Suppression:** Combines a custom-molded acoustic compressor isolation blanket with precision-profiled fan blades. This design maximizes aerodynamic airflow while dampening structural vibrations to hold noise levels at a quiet 55 dB.
* **Eco-Conscious Chemistry:** Formulated exclusively with R410A refrigerant, ensuring zero ozone-depletion potential and compliance with modern environmental mandates.

### 📊 Understanding COP Heat Recovery
A Coefficient of Performance (COP) of 5.7 means that for every single dollar of electricity used to run the compressor and fan, the Hayward Summit extracts and injects **$5.70 worth of heat** directly into your pool pad infrastructure. This thermodynamic multiplier turns standard electricity into the most cost-effective way to sustain a steady 80°F+ swimming temperature all summer long.

### ⚠️ Strict Installation, Pool Sizing & Factory Warranty Rules
* **Elite Elite Warranty Coverage:** Backed by an industry-leading 5-Year Manufacturer's Limited Warranty covering **both factory parts and authorized service labor**, plus an extended 10-Year structural warranty on the Titanium Heat Exchanger core.
* **Professional Trade Requirement:** This heavy-draw 230V thermal system must be plumbed and wired exclusively by a **certified pool professional or licensed electrician**. Proof of professional, licensed installation is strictly mandatory to validate any future factory parts or labor claims.
* **Absolute Soft-Sided Pool Ban:** This commercial-grade heat pump is **strictly incompatible with soft-sided, temporary pools** (e.g., Intex, Coleman, Bestway) due to their insufficient circulation rates. Installing this unit on any soft-sided pool environment **instantly voids all warranties** and risks serious structural damage.
* **Water Chemistry Guardrail:** Mechanical failures or heat exchanger pitting caused by extended exposure to out-of-bounds water chemistry (pH, high sanitizer levels, total alkalinity spikes) or internal ice expansion from improper winter blowouts are explicitly excluded from factory warranty protection.

> 📞 **Hydraulic Alignment & Heavy Freight Consultation:**
> Balancing a heat pump requires verifying that your current variable speed pump can deliver at least 30 GPM at its energy-saving filtration speed without exceeding the heat exchanger's 75 GPM threshold (which would require a bypass loop).
