Important Features of Your
The heart of your heat pump is the patented ThermoLink heat exchanger. The primary
cause of premature heat pump demise is the failure of the heat exchanger. Ordinary
heat exchangers are made from a cupronickel alloy. This cupronickel material is suscep-
tible to attack from the sanitizers used in pools and spas, and from other related water
chemistry conditions.
ThermoLink heat exchanger tube is made from titanium, and is virtually impervious to
water chemistry damage.
50% fewer moving parts than standard piston-type compressors.
much improved reliability and improved efficiency. Scroll compressors are also much
quieter in operation than piston-type compressors.
Digitally-based microprocessor, controls water temperature to within 1º Fahrenheit of
set point. Controller also permits user to predefine different pool and spa water tem-
peratures, and to prevent tampering by locking out controls via a pass code.

Your Icebreaker
involves directing hot refrigerant gas to the heat collector, melting accumulated ice
away in a matter of a few minutes—then right back to heating. Standard heat pumps
may remain "off in defrost" for extended periods during very cold weather. Because of
its ability to continue to operate even during freezing weather, your Icebreaker extends
the swimming season longer than any other heat pump.
The cabinet, being made from resilient, UV-Protected ABS material, can never rust, fade
or corrode. You can expect the cabinet to retain a like-new appearance with only an
occasional wash down and—if so desired—a quick waxing.
