Pool Heat Pump

A pool heat pump is an energy-efficient heating system that extracts heat from the air and transfers it to pool water.

Benefits of a Pool Heat Pump

  • Uses less energy compared to traditional gas heaters.
  • Provides consistent and efficient pool heating.
  • Works best in warm climates where ambient air can be used for heat transfer.

How a Pool Heat Pump Works

  • Draws in warm air and transfers heat to pool water using a heat exchanger.
  • Circulates warm water back into the pool.
  • Requires proper airflow and installation for maximum efficiency.
