Orilux OX26 · 40kW 3 Phase Pool Heat Pump
Orilux OX26 40kW 3 Phase Pool Heat Pump
High-capacity inverter pool heating for large residential pools, demanding heating applications and selected commercial pools.
The Orilux OX26-40 is the largest model in the OX26 range, delivering up to 40.0kW of heating output in Turbo mode under A26°C / W26°C / 80% humidity test conditions.
With three-phase power, R290 refrigerant, Twin Rotary DC compressor technology and an advised pool-volume range of 75–120m³, the OX26-40 is designed for applications where greater heating capacity and stronger temperature recovery are required.

High-Capacity Pool Heating
Who Is the OX26 40kW Designed For?
The OX26-40 is designed for swimming pools where higher heating capacity is required than a conventional smaller residential model can provide.
1
Large Residential Pools
Suitable for assessment on large family pools where water volume and surface area create a greater heating requirement.
2
10 × 4m & Larger Pools
Large pool dimensions can increase total heat demand, particularly when the pool is deep, exposed or used beyond summer.
3
Extended Swimming Season
Higher-capacity heating can be valuable where the goal is spring-to-autumn swimming rather than summer maintenance alone.
4
High-Demand Applications
May suit selected commercial or high-use pools following an appropriate heat-load assessment.
Published Performance
40kW Heating Performance
Heat pump output changes with ambient air temperature. The OX26-40 specification provides performance figures under both warm and cooler test conditions.
A26°C / W26°C / 80% RH
Warm-Condition Performance
40.0kWTurbo mode heating capacity
- 33.5kW Smart mode
- COP range 7.1–20.7
- COP 14.4 at 50% capacity
A15°C / W26°C / 70% RH
Cooler-Condition Performance
27.6kWTurbo mode heating capacity
- 23.0kW Smart mode
- COP range 4.8–7.9
- COP 7.3 at 50% capacity
Why this matters in Geelong: if you want to use your pool through cooler spring or autumn conditions, the lower-ambient performance figures are more relevant than looking only at the headline 40kW summer-condition output.

Pool Sizing
Is a 40kW Pool Heat Pump Right for My Pool?
The manufacturer's advised pool-volume range for the OX26-40 is 75–120m³, but pool volume should never be the only factor used when selecting heating capacity.
Most homeowners know their pool dimensions more readily than the exact number of litres, so we normally start with length, width and average depth before looking at local heating conditions.
| Pool Example | Typical Consideration | OX26-40 Assessment |
|---|---|---|
| 8 × 4 metre pool | Common larger family-pool size. | Often suitable for a lower-capacity model, although exposure, lack of cover or fast recovery can increase demand. |
| 9 × 4 metre pool | Larger surface area and water volume. | Higher-capacity OX26 models may be considered depending on depth, cover and swimming season. |
| 10 × 4 metre pool | Significantly greater heating load than a standard family pool. | 32kW or 40kW class heating may be assessed depending on operating conditions. |
| Oversized / high-demand pool | Greater volume, surface area or extended operating requirements. | OX26-40 or another high-capacity configuration may be appropriate following heat-load assessment. |
Geelong Pool Heating
40kW Pool Heating for Geelong Conditions
Large pool heating in Geelong should be sized around the season in which the pool will actually be used.
A system that performs comfortably during warm January conditions may operate very differently when the goal is to maintain warm pool water during October or April.
Coastal areas such as Ocean Grove, Barwon Heads, Torquay and the Bellarine Peninsula can also experience increased wind exposure, which can increase surface heat loss.
We recommend considering:
- Pool length and width
- Average depth
- Pool cover use
- Target water temperature
- Spring and autumn use
- Wind exposure
- Desired heat-up speed
- Available three-phase supply

Sound Performance
How Loud Is the OX26 40kW?
Despite its high heating capacity, the OX26-40 has published sound pressure data across varying operating loads.
At 1 Metre
41.8–51.9 dB(A)
Published operating sound-pressure range.
At 50% Capacity
45.8 dB(A)

Improve Heating Performance
Use a Cover on Large Heated Pools
Large pools have a greater exposed water surface, so reducing heat loss becomes increasingly important.
A suitable pool cover helps retain heat already transferred into the water and can reduce the amount of temperature recovery needed after cooler nights.
A pool cover can help:
- Reduce overnight heat loss
- Improve temperature stability
- Reduce unnecessary reheating
- Improve spring and autumn performance
- Retain heat already added to the pool

What size pool is the OX26 40kW recommended for?
The manufacturer's advised pool-volume range is 75–120m³. Final sizing should also consider pool dimensions, depth, cover use, local conditions, target temperature and desired swimming season.
Does the OX26 40kW really produce 40kW?
The published Turbo heating capacity is 40.0kW at the A26°C / W26°C / 80% humidity test condition. Heat pump output changes with ambient conditions.
How much heat does it produce at 15°C air temperature?
At A15°C / W26°C / 70% humidity, the published heating capacity is 27.6kW in Turbo mode and 23.0kW in Smart mode.
What is the COP of the OX26 40kW?
At A26°C / W26°C / 80% humidity, the published COP range is 7.1–20.7, with COP 14.4 at 50% capacity. At A15°C / W26°C / 70% humidity, the published COP range is 4.8–7.9.
Is a 40kW heat pump suitable for an 8 × 4 pool?
An 8 × 4 metre pool may often suit a lower-capacity model. However, depth, wind exposure, lack of a cover, high target temperature or faster cooler-weather recovery can increase heating demand. The pool should be assessed before selecting the unit.
Should I choose a 32kW or 40kW heat pump?
The correct capacity depends on pool dimensions, average depth, target temperature, pool cover, local climate and required heat-up speed. A larger unit is not automatically the better choice.
How loud is the OX26 40kW?
Published sound pressure is 41.8–51.9 dB(A) at 1 metre, 45.8 dB(A) at 50% capacity at 1 metre, and 21.8–31.9 dB(A) at 10 metres.
What water flow does the OX26 40kW need?
The current specification lists an advised water flow of 12–18m³ per hour.
