Choosing a Heat Pump

When choosing a Heat Pump there are three crucial elements to consider; sizing, design and pool environment.

To determine what size Heat Pump is right for you the questions to ask are:

  1. Pool details; water capacity, type of pool (fibreglass, concrete, acrylic, vinyl) in-ground or out of ground, has it a cover & what sort of cover.
  2. Environment; is it indoor/under cover/sheltered, wind rating, lowest, highest & average air temperature.
  3. Your expectations; make the season more comfortable, extend the season, swim all year round, what is the desired water temperature.

*Average pool dimensions used. Pools with larger surface area will suffer greater heat loss.

*Pool (solar) cover used for calculations.

*Average environmental conditions used in calculations for Heat Pump sizing in each location.

*At cold water start up, the Heat Pump will need to run for a longer time to reach temperature.
