Want to enjoy your pool for an additional few months?

Heat pool pumps allow you to enjoy a longer swimming season without breaking the bank. Heat Pumps transfer the heat from the surrounding air and uses it to warm and circulate the water within the pool. Heat Pumps work will as long as the outside temperature stays about 45 degress FF.

Heat Pumps are more effiecient and less expensive than gas heaters and last longer than the average gas heater. Several things need to be considered when choosing the correct heat pump for your pool.

Size

Size of your a gas heater output needed is according to the surface afrea of the pool and the difference between the average temperature and desired temperature. Therefore, the lower the average temperate and the larger the pool, the more thermal output will be needed from your heater.

Efficiency

A Coefficient of Performance (COP) is listed by the manufacturer for each model. Unfortunatly, manufactures do not use a standard test to measure the COP. What you want to look for is a much higher unit of heat output than the electricity you are putting in.

Cost

The average annual electricity cost of a pool heater in Plano, Texas is $800-$1,000 to run annually. If you add a pool cover it will reduce these costs to less than $400 per year. In hotter cities like Dallas and Plano, pools will retain heat longer than say…Denver, Colorado.

Please consult your local pool supply specialist in your area to learn about maintenance and installation.
