The water flow switch automatically shuts down the heat pump when there is no (or insufficient) water flow and re-starts it when sufficient water flow is resumed. This allows the Thermotec Penguin to be used in conjunction with a time clock on the pool circulation pump. When the circulation pump turns off, the Thermotec Penguin will shut down and when the circulation pump re-starts, the Thermotec Penguin will also re-start. (Note: the Penguin should be removed from the plywood base when in use as this is only for transport purposes) 6.  What size heat pump do I require for my pool? How to Calculate Your pool Water Volume: You can easily calculate the water volume in your pool as follows: - Round Pools To calculate the volume of a round pool, you can use the formula Pool Volume = 3.14 x radius x radius x depth Measure the diameter of the pool in metres Half the diameter to give the radius of the pool Multiply 3.14 x radius x radius x pool depth Example A 12' (3.66 m) diameter round above ground pool with a depth of 0.8m Diameter = 12' x 0.305 = 3.66m Radius = 3.66 / 2 = 1.83m Volume = 3.14 x 1.83 x 1.83 x 0.8m = 8.4 m3 The Penguin Reversible supports pools up to 12m3 so this heat pump will be ok for this pool Note: These sizing's assume that the pool will be covered with a solar cover when not in use. All pools should have solar covers. Rectangular Pools Pool volume = length x width x depth Example 6m x 4m pool, 0.8 m deep = 6 x 4 x 0.8 = 19.2 m3 Maximum for Penguin Reversible = 12m3 so this heat pump is too small - please look at our SunSpring or Thermotec Eco Fun heat pumps. Typical Pool Sizes and Volumes 8' x 30" Intex above Ground pool = 3.6 m3 -  Thermotec Penguin  Reversible 5kw OK ! 10' x 30" Intex above Ground pool = 5.5m3 - Thermotec Penguin Reversible 5kw OK ! 12' x 36" Intex above Ground pool = 9.6 m3 -  Thermotec Penguin Reversible 5kw OK !   The sizing guide for an above-ground covered pool is:- Model Kw Max Pool Volume (Warmer areas in the UK) Max Pool Volume (Colder areas in the UK) Absolute Max Pool Volume (Hotter Climates – Europe) Penguin Reversible 5kw Heat Pump 5kw 12m3 10m3 15m3   Please note that these sizes are based on summer use (May-Sep) to ensure that you maintain a good water temperature as long as you cover the pool with the solar cover for as many hours a day as possible (max 4 hours uncovered). The colder the outside air temperature (including night temperatures as this is the coldest time where you will lose most heat) the larger the heat pump size you will need (kw). Please call us if you are unsure of the size of heat pump required for your pool 7.
