Imagine standing by a pool in the early evening and contemplating the temperature of the water. What if it is too cold? To save yourself from this thought process and not be bothered by it, most pool owners end up looking into heat pumps. If you are one of those people who have cut their swim season short because the water was not warm enough for you, then heat pumps can solve this problem for you. This blog will help you learn how a pool heat pump actually works, things to check before you make the decision to buy one, and what benefits you can get from it, along with the expected cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Is a Pool Heat Pump, and How Does It Actually Work?<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Swimming Pool heat pumps are not like a gas heater. These heat pumps warm the water of the pool by pulling warmth out of the air around it and then using it to warm the water of the pool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 It is a machine for which you can even say it borrows heat from its surroundings and hands it over to you. Understand it here in simple terms. The main heroes that work to make it work are the refrigerant, compressor, and a heat exchanger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 When the unit draws air from outside, the first step is that the refrigerant inside it absorbs the heat from this air; then the compressor, which is present in the second step, squeezes the refrigerant to raise its temperature further; third, the heat exchanger passes the heat into the water and makes it warm, and here it completes its one cycle.
 Then the cycle starts again. Your existing circulation and filtration system does the legwork of moving water through the unit; the heat pump just needs to sit in that loop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You’ll also hear the term COP, or coefficient of performance. It’s simply a number that tells you how much heat you get out compared to the electricity you put in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember, a higher COP means the unit is doing more with less power. And because it depends on pulling heat from the air, how well it performs shifts with the weather outside and how much of a temperature jump your water needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
