Why choose swimming pool heat pumps?
Without an adequate swimming pool heating system, warming an entire body of water can be difficult, long-winded and expensive. While the sun can help with this process naturally, the weather is unreliable and may only provide the ideal conditions a few weeks or months out of the entire year.
A swimming pool heat pump can be used to provide a constant or controlled flow of warmth to the pool, whenever the needs of you or your guests demand. To do this, source heat pumps capture and magnify the ambient air temperature before transferring it to the water.
This is beneficial to homeowners and commercial swimming facilities because:
- Swimming pool heaters are exceptionally energy efficient, reducing power usage
- The heating costs associated with warming pools can be kept to a minimum
- These units require only electricity and an air source, minimising emissions
- Swimmer comfort can be maximised for a greater portion of the year
Swimming pool heating pumps do not generate heat themselves. Instead, these systems work by compressing cool ambient air from the outside. As this air is compressed, the warmth from the atmosphere is concentrated directly into the pool water via an efficient heat exchanger.
Because this technology only repurposes existing heat and transfers it efficiently from air to water, heating a swimming pool with an air source solution is very cost-effective and energy efficient, requiring only a small amount of power.
Beyond the low costs associated with pool heat pumps, it is also important to consider the speed at which a device can heat a swimming pool. Heat pump technology can significantly cut down this duration, meaning users can enjoy a perfectly heated pool much sooner.
However, the speed at which a body of water reaches and maintains optimal conditions will vary on a case-by-case basis, dependent on numerous factors such as:
- Whether or not your pool is placed indoors or out
- The volume of water in your facility
- What country and climate your pool is in
- The surface area of the facility
To maximise the speed, efficiency and cost-effectiveness of your heat pump, it is important to choose a quality system from a trusted manufacturer, such as Dantherm Group.
