Why Now Is the Time to Embrace HEEALARX R290 Pool Heat Pumps?
What? Climate Summit Controversy Highlights Refrigerant Crisi!
The recent UN Climate Summit faced unexpected backlash: its cooling systems relied on 1,200 kg of R410A refrigerant—whose high Global Warming Potential (GWP of 2,088) paradoxically contributed to the very issue the summit aimed to solve. This incident laid bare a critical truth: the era of high-GWP refrigerants is ending.
Natural refrigerants take center stage in the refrigeration revolution.
In Europe, the writing has been on the wall for years. R410A was phased out ahead of the EU’s revised F-Gas Regulation, which now mandates a total ban on F-gas Heat Pumps with GWP ≥150 by January 2027. The message is clear: only 2 swimming seasons remain before natural refrigerants dominate pool heating.
Leading this shift is R290 (propane)—a natural refrigerant with a GWP of just 3. Its low environmental impact, combined with superior energy efficiency, has made it the industry’s go-to solution for a sustainable future.

R290 has become an irreversible trend in the industry.
At this year’s ISH global HVAC expo, HEEALARX joined 50+ industry leaders in showcasing R290-driven innovations. Meanwhile, governments are accelerating the transition: the EU’s Green Heat Initiative has earmarked €200 million for R290 technology development, with projects like Germany’s CoolR290 program pioneering standardized, low-charge refrigeration systems.
