Swimming Pool Heat Pumps

Your Guide to Swimming Pool Heat Pumps

Swimming is something so many Kiwis enjoy. Diving into your own pool and swimming a few laps for exercise, lounging in the lovely water or having a fun party with friends and family are experiences that we can treasure. But swimming in chilly water in the winter can be quite uncomfortable. What do you do if you want to enjoy your pool all year round?

The answer is very simple – invest in a quality, reliable pool heat pump. These heat pumps are an essential investment for NZ pool owners who want to make the most of their personal pools, even when it’s cold out.

Why limit your pool fun to certain parts of the year? With the right heat pump, you can exercise, relax and make fun aquatic memories whenever you like. 

What Are Swimming Pool Heat Pumps?

Pool heat pumps are heat pumps that are specifically designed to heat water. These systems work by drawing in ambient air using a fan, directing it over an evaporator coil filled with a special refrigerant that absorbs heat and becomes a gas. The gas moves through compression to create heat, warming the pool water stored in the heat pump’s exchanger.

One major benefit of the heat pumps we supply at Crystal Clear Pools is how eco-friendly they are. We know how much New Zealand cares about the environment, which is why we’re happy to help our NZ clients meet their sustainability goals while enjoying their warm, welcoming pools. The refrigerants used in these pumps are R410a refrigerants, which is a type of refrigerant that does not negatively affect the ozone layer. 

How can a pool heat pump benefit you? Here are just a handful of the numerous advantages you can expect from your new heat pump:

  • Extended Swimming Season. It’s no surprise that swimming is a fun, relaxing and healthy experience. Swimming is a great way to work out your whole body while enjoying the stress relief and rewards of regular, healthy exercise. So, if you love your pool, having to cover it up for the cooler months can be a huge disappointment. No worries – with a pool heat pump, you can continue to swim, splash and play with loved ones regardless of the time of year. 
  • Weather Resilience. Pool heat pumps work even on overcast days and in cold temperatures, so they’re a fantastic, reliable choice for whenever you want to take a dip.
  • Cost-Effective Operation. The pool heat pumps we supply at Crystal Clear Pools generally have low running costs. Your pool heat pump is an investment that can benefit you for years while helping you save money.
  • Safe Swimming For All. Swimming in chilly water can be difficult because of discomfort, especially for individuals who are older or have mobility issues. But heated pools are more comfortable for everyone. With a heated pool, you can relax and potentially enjoy benefits like improved cardiovascular health, better mobility and enhanced circulation.

How To Choose Your Pool Heat Pump And Have It Installed

How do you choose your pool heat pump? There are different types of products and capacities, and you’ll want one that suits your pool and your goals. Be sure to think of the following when making your selection:

  • Your Swimming Needs. What kind of swimming do you want to enjoy? If you want all-year heating for your pool, then you may need a larger, more powerful heat pump, depending on where you live. However, if you’re seeking season extenders and don’t plan on using your pool all year, then a smaller heat pump may be perfectly fine for your needs.
  • The Size Of Your Pool. Naturally, when you need to heat more water, you’ll need a larger heat pump. Your heat pump capacity should align with the volume of water in your pool.
  • Consult Our Friendly Professionals. We know that not everyone is a pool expert, so picking a perfect pool heater isn’t exactly an easy task for the average person. No worries; that’s why our team at Crystal Clear Pools is here to help. If you’re searching for the perfect heat pump, give us a call, and our friendly team will assist you. We can make a great suggestion for you based on details about your pool and your goals.

It’s essential to understand that solar, gas and electric heating systems must be installed by a licensed tradie for proper installation – electricians are always required for larger, 3-phase models. This is to ensure safety, correct setup and compliance. Simpler, single-phase models may not require an electrician. We at Crystal Clear Pools are always here to help, and we can provide you with the advice you need for your pool and your new pool heater.
