Pool Heating Systems

Heat Pump Pool Heaters

HOW WILL A HEAT PUMP PERFORM?
The state-of-the-art heat pump technology can efficiently collect heat from the outside air down to the 45 to 50 degree range. For tropic and subtropic climates, this means that the pool can be maintained at 80 to 90 degrees under almost all conditions all year round. In northern climates, a Heat Pump will greatly extend the swimming season.

For temperatures below 45 degrees, a Hot Gas option can be added which will allow the Heat Pump to continue to collect heat; however, efficiency drops as the temperature drops
 

COST OF OPERATION
Example:The chart below illustrates pool heating costs with and without a cover for each month when heating is required. To maintain 80 degrees water temperature in a 14 x 28 pool, 4ft. average depth, low wind speed, in Ft. Myers, Florida, @ .070/kwh local electric will cost approximately:

To heat this pool with a Aquatherm Heat Pump @ .070 /Kwh would cost: "With A Cover " $291.00 Per Year. "Without A Cover" $726.00 /Yr.

NOTE: To heat the same pool with a L.P. Gas Heater @ $1.50/Gal. would cost: "With A Cover" $2,036.00 Per Year. "Without A Cover" $5091.00 /Yr.

A pool heat pump will heat your pool for 70% to 80% less money than a L.P. gas type heater and  50% to 60% less than natural gas type heaters. Heat pumps cost far less to operate than any other "demand type" pool heater period.

Heating costs vary with: geographic location, desired water temperature, wind speed, sun exposure, use of cover and swim season. Aquatherm can provide you with a computerized report detailing the estimated cost of operation based on your exact pool criteria by calling 888-297-3826 of by clicking the icon to the right.

TYPES OF HEAT PUMP POOL HEATERS
There are two basic types of pool heat pumps.  The most common is an ``Air-Source", the other being ``Water-Source".  Air Source Heat Pumps, as described on the prior page, uses air as a heat source.  Water Source Heat Pumps get their heat source from water ``i.e. lake, river, or well water".  Water source units are generally used for special applications; for more information call our help desk at 800-333-9276.

WHAT SIZE DO I NEED?
Sizing of a heat pump pool heater is based on the pool's surface area, geographic location, environmental conditions such as shading, wind, blanketing against night time heat losses, and more.  Please complete the
sizing form and fax to 800-897-6527 and we will prepare a free cost of operation and pool heater sizing analysis.
