How Heat Pumps Work

Heat pumps use technology similar to air-conditioning units. They use a fan and compressor to take heat from the surrounding air and transfer it to your pool.

The fan blows air out of the unit and in doing so, air is drawn over the evaporator coil (around the outside of the unit on the above diagram)

This then transfers heat from the air to the refrigerant gas inside the refrigerant pipes.

The compressor compresses the refrigerant gas which causes it's temperature to increase considerably

This hot gas is then passed through a heat exchanger which has the pool water flowing around the hot refrigerant gas causing heat to be transferred to the pool water

The Refrigeration Cycle

For every £1 that you spend on electricity with a heat pump, approximately £5 will go into your pool. The electricity to the heat pump simply powers the fan and compressor. The system takes heat from the surroundng air and transfers it to the pool using the refrigeration cycle.

Installation of Pool Heat Pumps

Heat Pumps are very easy to install. They are completely self-contaned and only need an electrical supply and a flow and return water pipe.
