Pool Heat Pump Project in Bolivia

Overview: Reliable Heating at High Altitude

“Our members expect warm, clean water—even in April. This season, we didn’t let them down,” she smiled.

In the heart of La Paz, Bolivia, where chilly mornings are the norm—even in summer—Mr. Diego Rojas, owner of Altura Swim & Spa, faced a challenge: how to maintain ideal water temperature year-round at 3,600 meters above sea level.

The Solution: Built for South American Climate

To meet the demands of high-elevation operation, we deployed four CGY/D-36 commercial pool heat pumps, customized for Bolivian conditions.

• 18 kW heating capacity per unit

• Special altitude-compensated compressor design

• Reinforced weatherproof casing for harsh sun and temperature swings

• Wi‑Fi monitoring + auto-defrost for minimal maintenance

  
  

 

Results: Consistent Comfort, Higher Retention

After installation, water temperature stabilized at 28–29 °C, with no noticeable noise or pressure drops.

• +40% increase in wintertime bookings

• Energy cost reduced by 27% compared to the previous gas system

• Positive feedback from both casual swimmers and spa clients

“At this altitude, stable water temperature isn’t just a luxury—it’s what keeps us in business. These units paid for themselves in less than one season.”
