No, the Water Doesn't Go to the Roof

No, the Water Doesn't Go to the Roof

A common misconception about our split systems is that the water has to be pumped all the way up to the roof.

People hear "outdoor unit on the roof" and think the water has to travel there, just like with every other chiller. That's not the case with our design.

With a Bergs split system, the water stays in a short, simple loop near your pools. The heat doesn't.​

Here is how it works.

Warmer water comes out of your pools, goes through the pump and filtration, and then hits our indoor unit.

This indoor unit separates the heat from the water.

The now much colder water is then fed straight back to the pools.

This simple water loop—from the pools, through the indoor unit, and back again—is all that happens at ground level.

The separated heat is what travels.

That heat is pushed up refrigerant lines to the outdoor unit on the roof.

The outdoor unit's fans then blow all the heat into the outside air.

Once the heat is removed from the refrigerant, the refrigerant travels back down to the indoor unit to collect more heat.

There are two distinct, side-by-side systems.

A water loop that stays on the ground floor.

A refrigerant loop that moves the heat from the indoor unit to the roof.

This design means you don't have the risk or expense of plumbing water pipes all the way up to your roof and back down. All the heat and noise from the chilling process stays completely outside your recovery space.
