Why should you choose a pool heat pump?
Swimming all year round, whether in an outdoor or indoor pool, has numerous advantages. The days of the pool season ending at the end of summer are long gone. A heated pool provides multiple health benefits, especially if you prefer not to go to the gym. The question is how to heat it efficiently and cheaply.
You can choose between solar heating panels and heat pumps for heating your pool. Heat pumps are small, compact, and efficient at reaching and maintaining pool temperatures. Furthermore, heat pumps are the most cost-effective way to heat almost any pool. On cloudy days, solar pool heating can still heat your pool, but not to the same temperatures as a heat pump.
Heat pumps extract heat and humidity from the air and can be installed on the ground because they take up little room. The heat pump size determines the time required to heat a pool. If your pool is correctly sized, it should reach the desired temperature in 10 hours or less from its coldest point. The heat pump is automatically throttled when the swimming temperature is reached, thanks to its built-in thermostat that monitors the pool's temperature. If the pool temperature falls one degree below the set temperature, the heat pump will restart. A pool should ideally always be covered to retain heat, prevent evaporation and water waste, and keep debris out of the pool when not in use.
Modern heat pumps feature full inverter technology with a DC inverter compressor and variable speed fan, making it eco-friendly and ensuring you can enjoy your pool 365 days a year. In addition, thanks to built-in Wi-Fi connectivity, you can monitor and control the heat pump from your smartphone from anywhere – setting heating up to 40°C and cooling to 10°C. These neat weatherproof units can easily be installed near your pool, adding value to your home. What’s more, the titanium heat exchanger guards against corrosion.
You might have reservations about the initial cost of a swimming pool heat pump. However, considering the long-term benefits and the ability to swim regardless of the season, it’s a simple choice.
