Dual Zone Heating & Cooling

By selecting dual mode, customers can assign one zone as the priority zone.

The heat pump will control a 24 VAC 3-way valve (purchased separately) to isolate the primary zone. Once this zone is satisfied, the system will then switch to the non-priority zone to achieve its set point temperature. Only when it has achieved the set point of both zones will the heat pump turn off and return the zone valves back to the priority zone.

All this can be controlled wirelessly through the WiFi app that is standard on all the Arctic Pool Heat Pumps.

Most of the major pool manufactures make electronic valve actuators that simply screw on top of the existing manual 3-way valve simply by removing the handle screw.

The Arctic Heat Pump has 24 VAC output to open and close 2 common pool actuator valves. NC (Normally Closed) and Com (Common) are used for the closed positional of the actuators and NO (Normally Open) and Com are used for the open position of the 3-way valves.

The actuators have adjustable cams internally that can be positioned 180 degrees (fully open/fully closed) or 90 degrees (1/2 open and fully closed). The 90 degree is useful when you want to share the flow in one position but isolate the flow in the other position, such as water fall spas that flow to the pool.
