One coordinated plan for home comfort, hot water, and pool heat

onePump is exploring ways to coordinate shared thermal capacity while keeping comfort first, hot water next, and pool heating deferrable.

For research only. This local walkthrough does not control equipment. Package scope, prices, forecasts, compatibility, and outcomes are illustrative and require further evidence and qualified review.

1 of 7 · Proposition

What the concept is trying to simplify

Coordinate

Use one priority plan when loads overlap instead of implying that shared capacity can serve everything at once.

Explain

Show what is active, what is waiting, and what input or service action is needed.

Protect boundaries

Keep potable, pool, and primary hydronic circuits isolated and leave equipment-native safeties in place.

2 of 7 · Qualification

Could this home fit the current research boundary?

Choose the closest answer for every item. Unknowns go to installer review; they are never treated as compatible by default.

Complete the questions to see an outcome.

Inputs needed before a scope can be credible

Equipment and loads

  • Heat-pump model, capacity curve, controls, limits, and alarms
  • Comfort equipment, design conditions, airflow or flow limits
  • DHW tank volume, protections, targets, and sanitization approach
  • Pool volume, schedule, exchanger rating, chemistry, and flow proof

Site and responsibility

  • Electrical, hydraulic, structural, routing, access, and service constraints
  • Pump curves, valve fail positions, sensors, branch isolation, and freeze risk
  • Applicable HVAC, plumbing/hydronic, pool, electrical, and local review
  • Named owners for install, commissioning, warranty, monitoring, and service

4 of 7 · Candidate package and budgetary scope

Compare what onePump might—and might not—provide

Select each boundary during research. None has been selected for release.

Every displayed dollar range is an illustrative estimate for research discussion. It is not a binding quote; site work, taxes, permits, freight, and service needs may be unresolved.

5 of 7 · Mock commissioning

A conceptual 16-step walkthrough

  1. Select system topology.
  2. Select modules and record IDs, revisions, and interface contracts.
  3. Enter heat-pump capacity and operating limits.
  4. Enter DHW tank volume, target range, and sanitization settings.
  5. Enter pool volume, exchanger rating, target, and allowed windows.
  6. Enter comfort equipment type, design temperatures, and flow limits.
  7. Map sensors to physical locations.
  8. Map pumps and valves to controllable loops.
  9. Run module verification for safety-critical modules.
  10. Run actuator tests.
  11. Run sensor plausibility checks.
  12. Prove branch flow and check heat-exchanger delta-T direction.
  13. Verify branch isolation and safe-state behavior.
  14. Run a dry-run day simulation.
  15. Confirm homeowner priorities and schedules.
  16. Keep automatic control locked until safety-critical checks pass.

6 of 7 · Homeowner status

Say what the system is doing in plain language

Active

Home comfort is being served

The house needs capacity now. Hot water remains available.

Deferred

Pool heating is waiting

Comfort and hot water have priority. The revised time is a forecast, not a promise, and will change with demand and available capacity.

Blocked

Pool input needs review

Pool-side flow proof is missing, so pool heat stays off until a qualified person verifies the input.

Fault · isolated branch

Pool branch disabled

The pool branch reported a fault. Comfort and hot water may continue only when their own protections and isolation remain valid.
