Why choose a Heat Pump to heat my swimming pool? As fuel prices increase, it’s important that you choose the most cost effective and energy efficient method of heating your pool. heat Pumps consumes less than one-fifth of the electricity of conventional pool water heaters.
The efficiency of Heat Pumps is measured by a “coefficient of performance” (C.O.P) Our range of Heat Pumps produce a C.O.P of approximately 5; for every 1kw of electricity consumed, the Heat Pump will generate 5kw of heat for your pool water, remarkable when you consider that the most efficient electric and gas heaters produce less than 1kw of heating for every 1kw consumed.
The capital outlay of purchasing a Heat Pump has, in the past, been higher than other methods of heating swimming pool water. As Heat Pump technology has gained in popularity the cost of the equipment has reduced. It is now possible to buy a quality swimming pool Heat Pump at an affordable price.
How it works
Swimming Pool Heat Pumps offer an exceptionally efficient and cost effective means of heating pool water. Household refrigerators and air conditioning systems have utilised this technology for decades. The Heat Pump simply extracts heat from the surrounding air and transfers it to the pool water.
An integral fan draws air through an evaporator, heat from the airflow is captured by the gas flowing through the evaporator. Having extracted the heat from the air, the heat captured by the refrigerant is condensed and transferred to the passing pool water via the heat exchanger.
Heat pump technology is reliable, environmentally friendly and extremely cost effective.
