If you want to enhance the look and feel of your swimming pool experience, install a pool heat pump in it. It is a more affordable option as it is drastically less expensive to operate than gas heaters. It will surprise you to know that it costs half the price of operating natural gas and a quarter of the operating price of propane. If you frequently use your swimming pool, pool heat pumps are a great option for constantly heating the water.
If you live in a geographic location with cool temperatures but also hot in summer, heat pool pumps are the right heaters for you. There are a variety of heat pool pumps available in the market, and you can choose the one that best fits your requirements. There are certain models that will cool the water of your pool in summer while warming it during the winter days when the temperatures fall.
Geothermal heaters work independently of air temperature and depend on heat from the water source. These types of heaters operate well in a cold climate where the air temperature is significantly low than a regular heat pump.
Today, there are a lot of pool heat pump brands and sizes available in the market, and you might be in a dilemma about where to begin. You might end up paying a lot more and still getting less-quality equipment if you don’t choose a reliable dealer.

Things You Must Know Before Installing Pool Heat Pumps
Check The Warranty
If you have any type of pool heat pump ( solar pool heat pump or inverter pool heat pump), you must check the warranty of various parts like heat exchangers, on-site labor, and compressors as they have different warranty duration. Mostly, you can get two years of warranty for parts and on-site labor, whereas up to 5 years of warranty on compressors. The warranty for heat exchanger corrosion varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. Some offer a lifetime warranty while others may offer 5 to 10 years of warranty.
Heat Exchanger
The main purpose of a heat exchanger is to heat the swimming pool’s water by transmitting energy from the refrigerator. The heat pump used copper and cupro-nickel heat exchanger tubing in the traditional way as it can efficiently transfer heat. Today most manufacturers use titanium heat exchanger tubing as the traditional material used to damage the water chemistry.
Although it’s more expensive, it is highly durable and prevents any type of chemical corrosion.
Energy Efficient / Coefficient of Performance (COP)
Coefficient of Performance (COP) can help in measuring the energy efficiency of your pool heat pump. If the COP number is high, you have a more energy-efficient unit which can ultimately result in low costs. The normal range of COP is around 3.0 to 7.0, which converts to an efficiency of 300-700% for pool heat pumps. All pool heat pumps aren’t built equally. A heat pool pump with a lower COP may be inexpensive initially, but it might have high operating costs.
A Reliable Dealer
No matter where you buy your pool heat pump – online or offline, you must always check the reputation of the dealer as well as reviews and ratings. Look for their experience in the market, any damage to the delivered equipment, live support, after-delivery service, and much more. A reliable dealer can assist you through the entire process.
