Whether a heat pump will cool your pool or not will usually depend on the model. There are heat pumps that have heating and cooling modes conjoined in the same device. They use a reversing valve or even inverter technology. As such, they can defrost and keep heating even when temperatures are extremely quite low. Such heat pumps are able to extract heat energy from the surroundings if a heating need arises. Also, the process can be reversed by triggering a cooling sequence in which they pull more heat from the pool’s water and then transfer it into the air.

In general, heat pumps draw heat or cold from exterior outdoor air, ground, or water and transfer it indoors for warming or cooling. They are somewhat less expensive from an operational expense point of view. A heat pump graded as 100,000BTU will averagely consume around 5,000 watts, or 5KW every hour. Using it four hours a day will consume 20KW—a kilowatt of electricity costs anywhere between $.13 to $.16cents per hour. The rates will vary depending on the utility provider. Therefore, a heat pump running for an hour will need approximately $.80 and $3.2 power charge in a day.

 

For starters, a small pool (10000-20000 liters) a 13KWh heat pump will do the job. For medium pools (20000-40000 liters) a 15-18 KWh will be sufficient. For large pools (40000-60000 liters), a 21-23 KWh heat pump is ideal. These values, however, vary depending on the temperature of your region. To narrow down on the exact heat pump you need, you require 0.00116 KWh of power to heat one liter. Knowing your pool size and the degrees you want to raise your pool temperature by, you can accurately determine the heat pump you need using the formula given below. It is simply pool size in liters × 0.0016 KWh × degrees you wish to raise your pool water by. At SPURSUN, we have a wide range of quality pool heat pump to meet your need.
