Extend the pool season with a heat pump. A heat pump is green energy because it “draws” energy out of the air and transfers it to the pool water. The energy used by the heat pump is returned many times as heating in the pool.
The amount of energy required to run the heat pump is minimal compared to the amount of heat it returns.
A traditional “on/off” thermostat controlled heat pump typically returns between 4 and 6 kW for every 1 kW of electricity you pay for.
A frequency-controlled Swim & Fun Full Inverter Pro heat pump, on the other hand, can make as much as 16 kW for every 1 kW, provided that the heat pump maintenance energy-saving function is activated.
Using a heat pump to heat the pool water has many benefits. In the northern hemisphere, most summers feature extended periods without sufficient sunlight hours to naturally heat the pool water much above 20 degrees.
If you have a heat pump in a place such as Denmark, you can already get started with the pool season in mid-May and prolong it until mid-October.
The Inverter Pro helps you extend the season even further, as it is made to also be able to run in freezing temperatures, should you so wish.
Heat pumps are excellent for pool water heating if you would like to find a warm pool whenever you feel like a dip and whatever mood the summer weather happens to be in. They also allow you to extend the pool season.
Enjoy the water!
How to find the right heat pump
It is necessary to understand that the heat capacity and the performance of the pump depend on the climate you live in. Areas with cold climates have a shorter swimming pool season. Therefore, hot pool water in the north requires heat pumps with higher capacity than in medium to warmer climates.
The illustration is an approximate estimate of the climate differences, and thus an indication of what type of heat pump you should consider buying to get the right performance.
