Electroheat ECO-V Side Vent inverter pool heat pump

Overview

Why choose the Electroheat ECO-V Side Vent

The Electroheat ECO-V Side Vent delivers the same inverter heating-and-cooling performance as the Top Vent range, but vents from the side — making it easier to fit in tighter equipment areas and against walls. For every 1kW of electricity it can produce up to 8kW of heat, drawing latent heat from the air so there's no reliance on the sun, and it keeps your pool warm 24 hours a day.

Up to 8kW per 1kW

For every 1kW of electricity it can produce up to 8kW of heat — exceptional efficiency from the air.

Heats and cools

Inverter heating and cooling for comfort through the shoulder seasons and on hot days.

Works near 0°C

Automatic hot-gas de-icing keeps it heating in cold conditions for year-round swimming.

Fits tight spaces

Side venting makes it easy to fit in tighter equipment areas and against walls.

Titanium heat exchanger

A dual-coil titanium exchanger resists salt, chlorine and coastal air for a long service life.

Built-in safety

Protects itself with water-flow, refrigerant-level and compressor start-up safeguards.

The technology

How a pool heat pump works

A heat pump doesn’t burn fuel to make heat — it moves it. It draws warmth from the air and concentrates it into your pool, using a fraction of the energy of gas or electric heating.

Draws heat from the air

A fan pulls outside air across the evaporator, where refrigerant absorbs the latent heat — even on cool days.

Compressor raises the heat

The compressor concentrates that warmth to a much higher, usable temperature.

Transfers it to your water

Pool water passes through the titanium heat exchanger and picks up the heat from the refrigerant.

Warms the pool, then repeats

The warmed water returns to the pool and the refrigerant cycles back for more — around the clock.

Why inverter

Inverter vs fixed-speed

Inverter technology is what makes this heat pump efficient and quiet. Here’s how it compares to an older fixed-speed unit.

Inverter (this unit)

Efficient & quiet

A variable-speed compressor speeds up to reach temperature quickly, then eases back to hold it — saving an estimated 15–30% and running far more quietly, with no temperature swings.

Fixed-speed

Older technology

A fixed-speed compressor runs flat-out then switches off, cycling on and off to hold temperature. That uses more power, makes more noise and lets the water temperature drift.

What's in the system

Key components

01
Titanium heat exchanger
A dual-coil titanium exchanger transfers heat to your water and resists salt and chlorinated water for a long service life.
02
Inverter compressor
A variable-speed inverter compressor — an estimated 15–30% more efficient than fixed-speed, and quieter.
03
Blue-fin evaporator
A large, hydrophilic blue-fin evaporator captures more heat from the air and adds corrosion protection — ideal for coastal sites.
04
Smart control panel
Heating, cooling and Auto modes with precise, efficient temperature control.
05
Weatherproof cabinet
A UV-resistant, sound-dampened cabinet rated for outdoor installation keeps operation quiet and durable.

Tailored to your pool

Installation, step by step

1

Site assessment

Your Zane dealer checks the equipment area for airflow clearance, a level base and suitable power, plus the run to your pool’s plumbing.

2

Sizing to your pool

The unit is sized to your pool volume, climate, how you use it and whether you run a cover — so it’s neither under- nor over-powered.

3

Professional installation

Trained technicians connect the plumbing and power, commission the unit and set it up on the control panel or app.

Keeping it running well

Low maintenance, long life

Keep airflow clear

Keep the space around the unit clear of leaves and obstructions so it can breathe and run efficiently.

Annual service

A yearly check by a qualified technician keeps the unit running at peak efficiency and catches anything early.

Pool chemistry & a cover

Balanced water protects the titanium exchanger, and a pool cover markedly cuts running costs, especially in cooler months.
