Pool Heat Pumps

Why chose a Heat Pump over other forms of heating?

Basically, apart from Solar heating, a Heat Pump is the cheapest and therefore the most environmentally friendly form of heating to run for swimming pools. (diagram here) This is because no heating element is used. The electrical power is used only to run a fan and a compressor. This uses far less electricity to produce heat than an electric heater and is cheaper to run than Gas, electric or Oil boilers.

When and where can one be used?

Generally, from May to September, which is when most of us use the pool, is the most efficient time. They do require a minimum air temperature of about 15ºC. Other conditions, such as wind, shade, and location, will also affect the shut off temperature of the unit.

Other forms of heating can be used in conjunction as a back up, during the winter months, if required.

They are generally an outdoor product, as fresh air is constantly required, however, the RA range with the circulation fan mounted on the side, can be adapted for indoor use, under certain conditions.

Heat pumps can be used for both, above ground and in ground pools, providing the minimum water flow is provided by the pump. i.e. 1320 Gals per hour.

Why chose the 'Competition' range?

Competition heat pumps have a Titanium heat exchanger as standard that is lifetime guaranteed, regardless of water balance, and has a life expectancy of up to three times longer than a conventional copper type. The Titanium exchanger is bullet-proof to Chlorine, Bromine and other chemicals used in swimming pools.

The ABS plastic case will not rust, unlike the steel cabinets used in other makes.

Compression system has a 5 year guarantee, electrical components 5 year guarantee, labour 1 year.
