If you want an energy-efficient way to heat your swimming pool and enjoy swimming for as much of the year as possible then a heat pump pool heater is the best way to do it. Our heat pumps are extremely energy efficient pool heaters. A heat pump uses a small amount of electricity to operate. They are actually a form of solar heat, as the sun-warmed air contributes to the efficiency of the unit. Heat pumps use electricity to capture heat and move it from one place to another (from the air to the pool water). Instead of heating with an electric heating element they collect heat from the outside air. Even when it is 50 degrees outside there is enough heat in the air to put in the pool even though it feels cold to us. In other words, you are just really moving existing heat around from the air to your water, this heat is removed from the air, concentrated with your compressor, and then transferred to the water.

Because of their high efficiency, heat pumps have a low cost of operation. Typically, for every 20 cents of electric input, you receive $1.00 worth of heat.

Apart from being less expensive to run than other forms of heating, heat pumps offer other benefits: heat pumps don’t pollute the pool area with fumes, they are designed for trouble free operation with display codes that can help the homeowner easily troubleshoot their unit before calling for service, and are made out of materials that can not be hurt by pool or spa chemicals. Heat pumps also produce low density heat which is safe for children and the elderly, unlike having a fire in your back yard or a 500 pound propane tank next to your home. They are unmatched for convenience and ease of use.

Environmentally Friendly

Our heat pumps use only EPA recognized refrigerant R410A, which contains no ozone depleting chlorine gases. Our complete line of pool heat pumps with ozone friendly R410A, scroll compressors and enhanced heat transfer design are more efficient, quiet and durable.

Swimming pool heat pumps save both electricity and your pocketbooks. 71.5% of America’s energy comes from nonrenewable energy sources such as gas, oil, and coal. Heat pumps help conserve these non-replenishable natural resources for our future generations.

How Pool Heat Pumps Work

Heat pumps use electricity to capture heat and move it from one place to another.
They do not generate heat.

As the pool pump circulates the swimming pools water, the water drawn from the pool passes through a filter and the heat pump pool water heater. The heat pump heater has a fan that draws in the outside air and directs it over the evaporator coil. Liquid refrigerant within the evaporator coil absorbs the heat from the outside air and becomes a gas. The warm gas in the coil then passes through the compressor. The compressor increases the heat, creating a very hot gas that then passes through the condenser. The condenser transfers the heat from the hot gas to the cooler pool water circulating through the heater. The heated water then returns to the pool. The hot gas, as it flows through the condenser coil, returns to liquid form and back to the evaporator, where the whole process begins again.
