The compressor is also a source of noise by transmitting its rotational vibration to the cabinet and through the copper tubing. If metal cabinets are used they can even amplify low frequency vibration creating a drumming or beat frequency. Heat Siphon's compressors are mounted using special rubber isolation feet to elmininate vibration transmision.
Heat Siphon's thick solid PVC vacuum-formed cabinet further reduces sound levels and absorbs any higher frequency noise instead of amplifying it.
HEAT SIPHON HISTORY - In 1983 Heat Siphon became the first pool heat pump to use an ALL PVC vacuum-formed cabinet. The original molds were made out of 4 inch thick cherry wood using a router and belt sander. Molds are now made in-house out of aluminum with CNC milling equipment.
