Pool Heating Solutions

In Queensland we are very fortunate to have an extended swimming season due to our sensational weather. However in the cooler months you can continue to swim in your pool, there are some great solutions to increase the temperature of your pool water.

Pool blankets, solar heating and heat pumps are very common solutions. We can advise & supply all types of pool heating solutions.

What are Heat Pumps?

Heat pumps work by transferring the heat from the air outside a heating unit to the water stored inside a heating unit via a 'heat exchange system' and then pump that heated water into your pool. Heat pumps are the most energy efficient way to heat your pool, using approximately one third of the energy used by alternative pool heating systems.

The benefits of Heat Pumps are various and include;

• Source of renewable energy
• Effective in low temperatures
• All-round superior efficiencies
• Convenient - no roof space or panels required
• Ease of installation (uses existing connections)
• High grade production and engineering means extended life spans & less maintenance
• Safe (no combustion)
• Supported by ongoing development and innovation

What size Heat Pump?

Heat Pumps are very similar to air conditioning units in that sizing is very important. Too small and the unit will work too hard. Other considerations-:

• Position in relation to the sun
• Inground or above ground pool
• A fountain or water feature
• Quality of the cover (using one is recommended in colder months)
• Size available for the heat pump
• Noise - a quality heat pump will be quieter than your filtration system

Neptune X-Pro Heat Pumps include a revolutionary 2-in-1 heating and cooling system. Corrosion is such an issue in the sub tropical Brisbane - Gold Coast climate. Inverter technology is more efficient.

Wifi advantages

If you are away or weather conditions change, wifi can allow apps that can set timers, diagnose issues and adjust the temperature.
