Swimming Pool Heat Pumps – How To Extend Your Summer Fun!
Extending Your Swimming Season
Are you considering installing a swimming pool & want to make the most of your investment, or do you have a pool & only use it during the summer months?
An energy efficient swimming pool heat pump such as the Hayward EnergyLine designed to operate at low ambient temperatures (designed for temperatures down to -7°) could be the answer to extending your swimming season & maximising your pool investment.
With a swimming pool heat pump, you can extend your swimming time from earlier in Spring & well through Autumn.
Christchurch Electrical’s specialist division, The Heat Pump People, supply, install, service & maintain all brands of swimming pool heat pumps as well as diagnose & repair pool heat pump faults - keeping your pool warm, so your summer fun doesn’t have to end!
What To Consider When Buying A Swimming Pool Heat Pump
1. The size of the swimming pool
2. The temperature you want the pool to operate at
3. The cost efficiency of the swimming pool heat pump (running costs)
How To Calculate The Size Of The Swimming Pool Heat Pump
The output power of a swimming pool heat pump is given in kW. The higher the rating the faster it will heat a specific size pool & the bigger the size of pool it can heat.
A knowledgeable professional should be used to obtain a correct kW rating for your specific pool as sizing involves several different factors such as the surface area of the pool, the difference between the pool & the average air temperature, wind exposure, night temperatures/usage & wind speeds. Establishing the correct sizing will mean you have the most efficient unit for your pool, location & usage & the pool will not be over working to reach temperature.
Swimming Pool Heat Pump Efficiency & Running Costs
The energy efficiency of heat pump pool heaters is measured by coefficient of performance (COP). The higher the COP number, the more efficient the unit.
Christchurch Electrical recommends the high performance, energy efficient Hayward EnergyLine Inverter Heat Pump which quietly & economically maintains an ideal water temperature & has 50% higher energy savings than traditional heat pumps. The EnergyLine Inverter is constantly monitoring temperature & only supplies the required amount of energy to heat your pool & spa, allowing for advanced energy savings.
An additional way to reduce running costs of your pool heat pump is to use a thermal pool blanket. The thermal losses on the surface of a pool can be significant & can drastically cool down the pool temperature. The more the thermal loss the harder the heat pump will have to work to maintain the desired temperature. It is therefore recommended to use a thermal pool blanket to cover the pool when not in use.
Hayward EnergyLine Swimming Pool Heat Pump Features
DC Inverter Technology
Compared to a traditional on/off heat pump, this unique technology adjusts its power & electricity consumption based on the needs of the pool.
Variable Speed Fan
Adjusts its rotation speed according to the air temperature & operates on low speed for a very quiet night-time operation mode.
Soft Start Technology
Starting at zero & increasing slowly to a higher speed leads to a stable current & lower energy consumption.
Super Quiet Operation
Operating at low dBA this heat pump is virtually silent from only a few metres away.
Titanium Heat Exchanger
Designed for durability & efficiency to ensure maximum heat transfer & resistance to harsh pool chemicals.
