How Does a Pool Heat Pump Work?
Our love for water is undeniable. Not only is swimming Australia’s leading sport it’s also much loved by homeowners who own a pool. Question is, do you have the luxury of using your pool all year round? Well, investing in a pool heat pump is a cost-efficient solution to let you enjoy your pool, any time you desire.
What is a Pool Heat Pump?
Pool heat pumps are getting increasingly popular amongst pool owners today. Heat pumps utilise the ambient air to heat the pool without needing gas, propane, or other resources. Heat pumps are so well suited for use in mild and humid climates since the systems extract significant heat from the surroundings. The equipment is often found in privately owned pools and works even when the sun isn’t shining as bright.
The upfront costs of a pool heat pump is not that much more then gas or solar pool heating; however, the ongoing operation costs are pretty low. Your heating needs, budget, climate, location, and the location of the pool will help you decide what the best pool heat pump option is right for you. If you wish to use your swimming pool in the Spring, Autumn, Winters, or all through the year, you” need an efficient swimming pool heat pump.
Why Use a Pool Heat Pump?
A pool heat pump is an incredibly energy-efficient piece of equipment to heat pool water and to think it uses very fewer resources. It works on the heat transfer principle that can be used all through the year with very low heating costs. Heat pumps can function in temperatures as low as 7 degrees, with some even functional in minus temperatures. Heat pumps are easy to install and operate without breaking the bank financially.
A heated pool is enjoyable and is stress-reducing, plus heating facilities increase your pools property’s value.
Internal workings of a Pool Heat Pump
So how does a pool heat pump work? The pool heat pump operation is pretty straightforward. It utilises similar heating concepts as your refrigerator or air conditioner, except that a pool heat pump work in reverse. These do not create but draw humidity and heat from the ambient air with the help of electricity.
Here is a detailed breakdown: a fan draws the air and passes it through an evaporator coil that heats the refrigerant liquid inside (Freon), converting it into gas. This gas passes through a compressor, where it is heated and pushed to the heat exchanger. The exchanger transfers the heat from the gas to the pool water and bring up its temperature.
As the gas transfers back to the condenser coil, it cools and returns to the liquid, passing through the evaporator coil, and the process starts over again. So, in short, pool heat pumps utilise a heat exchanger to warm up the water as the heat flows through the pump and into the pool.
When the water reaches the anticipated temperature, the built-in thermostats throttle off the heater automatically. When the temperature drops below set temperature, the heat pump again start the heating operation.
Ideally, it’s best to keep a pool cover/blanket on the pool to keep the heat in the water, stop evaporation, and keep dirt and reduce operational costs.
