Swimming Pool Heat Pumps
Swimming pool heat pumps are responsible for heating the water in a simple way. It transports the energy from the ambient air in the form of heat to the water. This process is carried out by changing the state of the coolant by means of the ambient temperature and with the help of a compressor.
This system is easy to install and only requires a hydraulic and electrical connection, so you can install the heat pump in both new and existing pools. In order to choose one type of pool pump or another, you should base your choice on the characteristics of your pool (size, capacity, location, etc.).
At Quimipool we want you to find your perfect swimming pool heat pump and, for this reason, we have an extensive catalogue with different models and well-known brands such as Poolex, Hayward, Zodiac, Astralpool, etc.
Electric Swimming Pool Heaters
Electric pool heaters work in a different way. This heating system is based on heating the water by means of high temperature electric heating elements. The cold water passes through these and is heated, returning to the pool at a higher temperature.
This type of heating usually incorporates a thermostat to program it, i.e. when the pool temperature reaches the desired level, the heater will stop. In this way we reduce the operating time and consumption.
They are one of the fastest systems for heating pool water. They are simple, small and easy to install, but they consume a lot of energy, which is why we recommend their use in small pools if we want them to be efficient as well as effective.
Heat Exchangers
With a heat exchanger you can use the energy and heat from an indoor heating system to increase the temperature of your pool. It is a very interesting option for heating the pool water, but there are certain factors that must be taken into account.
In order to be able to use this heating system properly, we must have a domestic heating system located near the pool and, above all, one that is powerful enough to be able to heat both the home environment and the pool water. In those cases where the power is insufficient, it can only be used when the house is not being heated.
It is important to note that it is irrelevant what type of boiler we use to heat our home, as we can use heat exchangers for swimming pools with both oil and gas boilers.
Heat exchangers are a very interesting option for heating the pool, as their installation is quite simple and they are an economical solution, but remember that the boiler must be close to the pool so that there is no heat loss and it is an appropriate system.
Solar Panels for Swimming Pools
Solar panels for heating pool water are one of the most ecological and economical solutions on the market, because they only work with solar energy. This is an increasingly common system for heating swimming pools due to its ecological nature.
It consists of installing solar energy panels that will heat up and transfer the heat received to the pool water. It is recommended for above-ground or removable pools, as it may be insufficient for a very large pool and may not offer the expected results. Although there are options that can be capable of heating large capacity pools.
Another important factor of this heating system is that it is very easy to install and can be stopped at any time or the plates can be covered to prevent overheating.
For the use of this system it is very important that we consider the climate of our city before opting for this option. It is advisable to install it in pools that receive many hours of sunshine a day and where the weather conditions are optimal for this alternative.
Dehumidifiers for Swimming Pools
In this case we must bear in mind that it is not an air-conditioning system as such. Dehumidifiers are going to help us to avoid the condensation of humidity that occurs when heating a swimming pool.
Mainly in indoor pools, when the water is heated, a certain amount of humidity is produced that remains in the environment and on the walls, which can cause a stifling atmosphere and damage the furniture and equipment. With a pool dehumidifier, you can prevent this process and create a fresh and pleasant atmosphere even in the winter season.
Therefore, although we are not talking about a device to heat the water in the pool, it is a perfect complement to create a comfortable and pleasant environment for bathers. In addition, their low prices make dehumidifiers an essential and affordable appliance for your pool.
Remember that to choose your dehumidifier you must take into account the pool space, surface area, volume, end use and water and air temperature. In this way, you will be able to choose the perfect dehumidifier for your space.
Water Chiller Pumps
Although so far we have talked about systems for heating pool water, there are also devices for heating the water in swimming pools or spas to keep them cool at any time of the year.
Pumps for cooling water are widely used in spas, thermal or rehabilitation centres where relaxation treatments are carried out and the body's circulation is improved with changes in water temperature.
In these cases, the use of water coolers is highly recommended and you can maintain a specific temperature at any time of the year. They work in a similar way to heat pumps, but with the opposite effect. In this case, the cooling liquid will be responsible for cooling the pool water. It is similar to the operation of an air conditioner.
At Quimipool we have a wide range of cooling pumps so that you can choose your perfect chiller and keep your pool, spa or spa in the best conditions. Do not hesitate to contact us if you need any information or need advice on the purchase process.
which Pool Heating System to Choose?
As we have seen, prices can vary greatly depending on the heating system you choose, so, depending on your budget, this may be one of the factors that make you choose one option or another. Here are some other criteria to help you choose the system to heat your pool.
1. Heated Swimming Pools for Regular Use
The heat pump is the most appropriate air conditioning system for primary residences. Although at the time of installation it will take longer to reach the desired temperature, once achieved it will maintain it continuously and save consumption.
We can also opt for solar heating with panels, but remember that here the area in which your pool is located will have a great influence; it must receive sufficient sunlight. Bear in mind that it will be difficult to increase the water temperature if the outside temperature is very low and does not receive direct sunlight.
2. Heating of Occasional Use Swimming Pools
In this case, it may be more convenient to use an electric heater. In second homes we are not interested in maintaining a continuous water temperature, so we will look for a system that helps us to increase the water temperature quickly on days of use.
Another option would be to use a heat exchanger, but remember that this is where the power of the home's heating system comes in. In addition, the process can take one to two days depending on the efficiency of the heating system.
3. Indoor Swimming Pool Climate Control
It is very important for this type of pool to have a dehumidifier if we want to have a proper swimming environment. Whether or not to use another heating system for the water will depend on the use of the pool.
4. Heating the Water of Above Ground Swimming Pools
In the case of above-ground pools, it is better to opt for solar heating and heat the water at the lowest cost. Its low cost and simplicity of installation make it a very good alternative for this type of pool.
However, we can also opt for a heat pump model that is designed for smaller pools and has a lower cost. In this way we can leave aside the climate and whether the sun is present or not.
Advantages of Using a Swimming Pool Heating System
The heating of swimming pools has many advantages, the main one is that it allows us to extend the swimming season and not limit it only to the summer months. In other words, we will be able to enjoy our facilities for longer.
A heating system will allow you to select the temperature at which you want the water to be, allowing you to enjoy your pool even on hotter days when the sun is not hot enough.
It is considered an investment in wellbeing, as you will be able to use your pool much more. In addition, having this system will add value to your home and improve your quality of life.
In short, these are the benefits of having a heated pool:
Extending the bathing season
Choosing the water temperature
Investing in welfare
It will increase the value of housing
The best thing is that we have already seen that it is not complicated, nor does it have to be expensive, to have an air conditioning system. If we think about the benefits we can obtain, it is an investment that pays off.
how much does it cost to heat a swimming pool?
As we have seen, everything will depend on the heating system we choose for our pool, as it will be better to opt for one or the other depending on our case. Although it is true that the budget we have plays an essential role in the choice.
Below is a small summary of the minimum price of each alternative, but remember that the final price will depend on the size of our pool, the capacity and many other factors that we will have to consider before buying a heating system.
- Heat pumps: These can be found from 400 €
- Heat exchanger: Similar price to the previous one, but with different characteristics 390 €
- Electric heater: This is a highly recommendable option for pools with little use 250 €
- Solar panels: Finally, the cheapest option that you can find from 100 €.
Apart from the purchase of any of these devices, it will be necessary for the installation to be carried out by a professional to ensure optimum heating results.
