What is a Titanium Exchanger?
Many suppliers of swimming pool heat pumps are promoting the benefit of Titanium Heat Exchangers (coil in which the pool water passes). The Titanium exchanger is specifically designed for the customers who want additional protection from Chlorine, Bromine and all other common pool chemicals. The Titanium heat exchanger has a life expectancy, which is much longer (up to three times) than the standard copper exchanger (15 years). The chemicals in pool water, including chlorine, bromine acid, can be extremely corrosive. Especially when pools are shocked and very high levels of chlorine exist, if the owner lets the pool chemistry gets out of balance or if chlorine tablets are put in the skimmer. In the case of heat pumps, if a water heat exchanger gets a hole in it (usually due to corrosion) and pool water enters the sealed refrigeration system, the entire heat pump is ruined. The California Blues TM Titanium Water Heat Pump virtually eliminates all the chemical corrosion. The Titanium exc
