Guardian Lux V GLV-17 Pool Heat Pump, 17kW Single Phase

The Guardian Lux V series has been specifically engineered to maintain real world efficiency in low temperature environments, with stable cold climate performance from minus 15 degrees. Even with its compact footprint it maintains a similar COP to the Eco Pro, using a vertical (top) air discharge instead. Although it sits at a slightly higher price point than the Eco Pro, the Lux V is over-engineered and stylish, and sits by your pool as a statement piece. It runs the latest DC full inverter technology, a titanium heat exchanger and a Panasonic rotary inverter compressor, is extremely quiet (ideal near boundary fences), and has an intelligent LCD touch screen plus WiFi control with smart functions and back-to-base monitoring.

GLV-17: 17kW, single phase, 15 amp plug. Suggested pool size: uncovered pool up to 30,000 litres, covered pool up to 55,000 litres.

Sizing guide

Suggested pool sizes assume an Adelaide swim season from October to April with a pool cover halving heat loss. Uncovered pools, shaded sites, exposed windy locations and year-round swimming all push you to the next size up. Not sure? Use our heat pump sizing calculator or call the team on (08) 8349 4333 and we will size it for you at no charge.
