Pool Heat Pumps: The Ultimate Guide to Energy-Efficient Heating

A pool heat pump is the most cost-effective way to maintain a perfect swimming temperature. Unlike traditional electric heaters, it extracts heat from the outside air and transfers it to your pool water, offering up to 5 times more energy efficiency.

How Does a Pool Heat Pump Work?

The process is highly efficient: a fan draws in ambient air, where a special refrigerant absorbs the heat and turns into gas. A compressor then increases the gas temperature, and via a heat exchanger, this energy is transferred directly to your pool water.

Key Factors for Choosing Your Heat Pump

• Pool Volume (m³): Ensure the kW output matches your pool's capacity for optimal and timely heating.
• COP (Efficiency): The higher the COP, the lower your running costs. A quality unit produces 5kW+ of heat for every 1kW of electricity consumed.
• Inverter Technology: Full-inverter pumps adjust speed dynamically, saving up to 30% more energy compared to standard On/Off models.
• Climate Compatibility: For Northern and Central Europe, select units that operate effectively at low temperatures (down to -25°C).
