Why does AquaCal install an internal bypass on all their heat pumps?
the following answer only true for units that have cupro-nickel heat exchanger, titanium are full flow. AquaCal installs an internal bypass, rather than letting the dealer install an external one, for several reasons. The most important reason is that we control the exact amount of water to enter the cupro-nickel heat exchanger inside your heat pump. Our bypass automatically adjusts to the flow of your pool or spa filter pump, unlike manual bypasses which require you to constantly adjust them to maintain optimum heating efficiency. A bypass is important to the life of your heat pump. Allowing too much water to flow into your heat pump will eventually erode the heat exchanger inside your heat pump, which can be a very costly repair for you. Also, too much or too little water flow will lower the performance of your heat pump.
