Moov Inverter Pool Heat Pumps

Why homeowners consider it

• It is a true modulating inverter. Moov states the compressor adjusts its speed from 20% to 100% rather than cycling on and off, which is where the efficiency and the low noise come from: pool heating is a long, low-load job, and a unit that can run slowly for hours suits it better than one that can only run flat out.
• The published warranty is 3 years labor, 5 years parts and 10 years on the heat exchanger, the same terms across every model in the line.
• The heat exchanger is titanium, which is the right material for a salt pool or a coastal install, and it is standard rather than an upgrade.
• The line covers a wide range of pool sizes from one platform: 45,500 BTU/hr on the MI500 up to 134,000 BTU/hr on the MI1400, so the same controls and the same service parts apply whether the pool is small or large.
• It is quiet. The manual specifies 50 dB(A) or less at 10 feet for every model, and Moov's technology page claims as low as 48 dB at 1 meter at half speed. On a zero-lot-line Sarasota property where the equipment pad sits under a bedroom window, that is a real consideration.

What to know before buying

• Service network is the honest caveat with this brand. Moov Pool Products is run out of Quebec City and its manual states that every warranty claim must be approved by an authorized Moov employee. Far fewer Florida technicians have opened a Moov than have opened a Hayward, Pentair or Jandy, so ask who will physically perform warranty labor on your pad — and get the answer before you buy, not after.
• The efficiency claim cannot be compared like-for-like. Moov publishes "on average 8" for COP across the inverter range instead of a figure at the industry test point, so it cannot be set beside a fixed-speed unit's published COP at 80°F air / 80°F water / 80% RH without a caveat. The manual carries an AHRI Certified mark, but Moov does not print the rated test-point number on the product page.
• Cooling is a different product. The MI models are heating units; Moov states that "the FIC product line has the same characteristics as the MI models, but has the cooling option," and the owner's manual is written for MI(C) variants. If you want a heater that can also chill the pool in August, specify that model explicitly on the quote.
• Capacity is advertised two different ways, and the inconsistency starts with Moov. Its product page lists the MI900 at 82,000 BTU/hr, but its own Full-Inverter technology page calls the same units the "90k, 110k et 140k models", and the retail channel follows that naming. An 8,000 BTU/hr gap is enough to change a sizing decision, so make sure the quote, the sizing calculation and the model number all refer to the published 82,000 BTU/hr figure rather than to a marketing name.
• The warranty has conditions worth reading. Moov's manual states the warranty begins at purchase and is only valid on the first install, that installation-date documentation is needed if the install is delayed, and that claims are refused for improper winterization, storm damage and installation by a technician who is not qualified for the work.
• Plan the electrical early. The MI900 needs a 30 A breaker at 208-230V single phase; the MI1100 needs 40 A and the MI1400 needs 50 A. Older Florida panels frequently need work before any of these go in.

Warranty, term by term

The warranty only matters on the parts that actually fail. Here is how this one splits up.
