The Benefits of Using Heat Pump to Heat Your Pool

Put simply a heat pump normally offers the lowest cost method of heating your swimming pool.

Heat pumps extract FREE heat from the outside air by using refrigeration technology.

They have a built in heat exchanger which transfers the heat captured from the air into the pool water. The heat exchangers are normally made of titanium so that they are resistant to the corrosive effects of pool chlorine on most metals.

Swimming Pool Heat Pumps are Highly Efficient

At HeatPumps4Pools., the swimming pool heat pumps that we sell are highly efficient and have very high COPs

The COP is the ratio of the input power to the output heat to the pool.

Most swimming pool heat pumps deliver at leadt 5-6kw of heat to the pool for every 1kw of electricity they use.

Modern inverter driven pool heat pumps can deliver up to 14kw of heat to the pool for every 1kw of electricity used.

This makes the efficiency of a swimming pool heat pump up to 1400% whereas an electric heater is only 1:1 between input and output (100%)

Inverter Driven Swimming Pool Heat Pumps

The latest swimming pool heat pumps now use inverter technology.

Inverter technology allows the fan and the compressor in the pool heat pump to run at variable speeds.

The heat pump can therefore adjust its output to exactly match the demand from the pool.

Once the swimming pool has reached its desired temperature, an inverter driven swimming pool heat pump will reduce its output down to typically around 25% to 50% of its maximum power.

When the inverter driven swimming pool heat pump is running at reduced power, the COPs can reach around 14.

This means that for 1kw of electricity used, up to 14kw of heat can be delivered to the pool.

No other method of swimming pool heating can deliver such high efficiency

At HeatPumps4Pools, we sell a wide range of swimming pool heat pumps that we consider to offer the best combination of price, performance, warranty and after-sales support (eg spare parts availability).
