Swimming Pool Heat Pumps

Swimming pools are both a luxury and an essential source of health benefits. Maintaining the correct water temperature is vital for safety and comfort. At Air To Heat, we design, supply and install air source heat pumps to achieve this.

We work with domestic and commercial pools ranging from 10m³ to 500m³, specialising in Calorex heat pumps.

Advantages of Calorex Pool Heat Pumps

1. Energy Efficiency: Calorex heat pumps extract ambient heat from the air, delivering up to five times more energy in heating than they consume.
2. Durability: Built to last, Calorex heat pumps offer long-term reliability with proper maintenance.
3. Environmentally Friendly: Using renewable heat, they reduce carbon emissions and promote a greener planet.

We offer a knowledgeable, friendly service for the purchase and installation of your pool heat pump. Feel free to contact us with any questions—we’re happy to help.

How Do Heat Pumps for Swimming Pools Work?

Swimming pool heat pumps work by drawing outside air through a fan, passing it over an evaporator coil, and using a refrigerant with a compressor to capture and transfer heat. An expansion valve then regulates the refrigerant flow, helping maintain efficiency before the cycle repeats.

The heat exchanger transfers this captured energy directly into the pool water, steadily raising and maintaining the desired pool temperature. Even at lower ambient air temperatures, the system provides reliable swimming pool heat with stable performance.

By using electricity only to power the compressor, pump, and fan, a pool heat pump generates more heat output than the energy consumed. This process makes swimming pool heat pumps an energy efficient and sustainable option compared with gas or direct electric pool heaters.

Why Choose Air Source Heat Pumps for Swimming Pools?

 

Air source swimming pool heat pumps are specifically designed to provide energy efficient and reliable pool heating. Here’s why many pool owners now prefer them over traditional pool heaters:

• Energy Efficiency: Pool heat pumps deliver more heat output than the electricity they consume, offering consistent performance with lower running costs.
• Consistent Water Temperature: Inverter heat pump models adjust power to keep the desired temperature stable, avoiding sudden heat loss.
• Lower Environmental Impact: By extracting heat from ambient temperature air, these pumps reduce carbon emissions compared with gas-based systems.
• Suitable for Different Pool Sizes: From small domestic pools to larger pools, choosing the right size heat pump ensures efficient operation and long-term benefits.

Is ASHP Suitable for both Indoor and Outdoor Swimming Pools?

 

Yes. Swimming pool heat pumps are suitable for indoor and outdoor pools when specified correctly. Indoor pools typically have lower heat loss, so the unit can operate at lower power while keeping steady water temperature.

For outdoor pools, ambient temperature, wind, and sunlight affect efficiency and output. A cover reduces cooling from wind and evaporation, helping the pool heater maintain the desired temperature. Inverter heat technology keeps performance stable as conditions change.

Selection focuses on pool size, usage pattern, and model range. Position the unit with clear airflow to the coil and fan, and choose a pool heat pump that is specifically designed for pools. This delivers efficient swimming pool heat and dependable operation across the season.
