Our Blog - Keep up with the fast moving pace of the air conditioning and heat pump world. It's just like being in a James Bond movie - well not really!!
Hello everyone - Some of the more internet savvy members of staff thought it would be just the thing to start a Blog to let the world know about the goings on at our little empire. Well to be quite honest folks it sounded to me a bit like asking people to pay to watch paint dry, anyway who am I to halt the march of progress, I’m off to listen to some “Pink Floyd" on vinyl. We hope you enjoy the unfolding saga of the heat pump and air conditioning world in the coming months.

June 2024So, Spring arrived in March, apparently, and meteorological Summer started on the 1st June.
I think that we can all agree that the weather has been disappointing
However, we’re not surprised, and the fickle weather just reminds us how much we need adaptable heating and cooling systems in our homes to suit the ever-changing temperatures outside.
The range of products from each manufacturer is obviously too numerous to mention but head over to our pages for more info and to see which system would suit your requirements.

31st January 2024 - Air Conditioning Tech
January 2024 BlogA bit late we know but Happy New Year and we hope you’ve all managed to stay safe and well with the stormy January weather.
I can guarantee that most of us got some gadget or piece of tech for Christmas, and I just wanted to let you know that the Air Heat Pump Industry is no exception when it comes to technology.
As you would expect in this day and age all the larger and reputable manufacturers that we deal with have built in Wi-Fi on their latest models. However, even if you’ve had your unit for some time, it’s worth having a look at the Wi-Fi Adaptors that we stock as they might be compatible with your existing system, and you could take control via your smartphone or tablet.
Just look at our website to find out which ones we have in stock, and, as with nearly all the products we sell you can find out more info and about compatibility on the PDF Manufacturers Brochure’s that are attached.

Latest Update - 12th December 2023
Some of you may have noticed that this blog hasn’t been updated for some time, about eighteen months, actually. Apologies.
However, we have a pretty good excuse as we have been very busy moving premises from our Stockport base to Greenfield in th’hills of Saddleworth. If you ask people where Saddleworth is you’ll get a few different answers. It used to be part of the West Riding of Yorkshire but now has an Oldham post code which is part of Greater Manchester and of course Manchester was always in Lancashire, so you work it out.
Anyway, suffice to say we are still providing the best service we always have in the past and endeavour to give the best customer experience moving forward, you just have to look at our reviews which bear testament to that.
We are still partnered with the most reliable names in the industry and over the years have built up the best relationships with them which we are able to pass on to you the customer.
We have also added many new lines to our website, most of them Wi-Fi related reflecting today’s obsession with technology, but I’ll tell you all about them in next month’s blog.

9th June 2022 - Swimming Pool Cleaning
Saturn Sales have recently reported on the range of swimming pool heaters available from us which are a necessity, especially for outdoor pools, as we cannot rely on British weather.Quite apart from the fun and exercise benefits of a swimming pool there is the necessary cleaning of the swimming pool!
Here at Saturn Sales we recommend the Whaly Robot Swimming Pool Cleaner manufactured by Hayward which uses smartDrive® programming, sucking up everything in its path from microscopic dust to large debris particles. Not only is it a delightful ‘whale’ design but it quickly, quietly and efficiently covers every square inch of the pool in above-ground and all flat-bottomed pools. Whaly is easily installed and has a 9.6 metre hose.
Whilst the Whaly Robot Swimming Pool Cleaner looks attractive it very efficiently improves water circulation. We have ‘Whaly’ in stock and can deliver in one to two working days. If you prefer to clean your swimming pool manually take a look at our ranges of manual cleaning tools.

5th May 2022 - Pool Heat Pumps
Saturn Sales staff are looking forward to the May Bank Holidays and the four-day Bank Holiday to celebrate Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee and thinking about what the weather will be like! Whatever the British Weather gives us won’t make any difference for people who have outdoor swimming pools because Saturn Sales provides a comprehensive range of Hydro-Pro Swimming Pool Heaters! Swimming pool heat pumps come in a variety of prices to suit every pocket, from the Hydro-S Eco range, the Standard range and the Inverter range.
The Eco A3/32 pool heat pump very economically heats pools up to 10 cubic metres (10000 litres) from May to end of August but are not suitable for colder temperatures in autumn and winter. For these months we would recommend the standard “P” series models which uses the newest environmentally friendly R32 refrigerant and includes a digital controller.
In the Standard range we recommend the HydroPro P23/32 swimming pool heat pump rated at 23kw output which heats up to 80 cubic metres. In comparison to alternative methods of heating by oil, gas and electric only, these systems offer extensive financial savings all year round. The high quality titanium heat exchanger offers long life resistance to salt and chlorine. This model operates down to an outside temperature of -7 degrees C covering the months from March to November. We also stock a range of water pumps and filter sets if required together with a bypass valve kit which fits most pipework sizes, which controls the amount of water flowing through the heat pump.
The HydroPro Inverter PX14/32 heat pump is suitable for all year swimming as it will operate in an outside temperature of -10 degrees C which makes this the ideal choice for the UK weather. The output available from these heat pumps is far better at lower temperatures when compared to many other pool heat pumps. We recommend that a bypass valve kit is installed to control the amount of water flowing through the heat pump and also our universal bypass kit which will fit most pipework sizes.
