Your new pool heat pump will help you save money compared to other types of pool heat-
ers.
In fact, even if your pool heat pump has a lower heat capacity which makes it run for 24
hours a day, the pool heat pump remains the most economic system, because of the use of state
of the art technics in thermodynamics.
Your pool heat pump works just as a water pump does. Whereas a water pump is tranferring
water from one place to another, your pool heat pump is transferring heat between the surround-
ing air and your pool water. Moreover, your pool heat pump is not producing heat with the energy
it is consuming just as a water pump is not producing water. It is because of this principle that
your pool heat pump may attain efficiency ratios going up to 600% or 700% in the best climatic
conditions. This means that for each kilowatt your pool heater consumes, it is transfering 6 or 7
kilowatts from the surrounding air to the pool water. The difference is astronomical compared to
oil, gas or electric resistance heaters yielding only 80 to 95% output. But it is true to say that the
output of traditional pool heaters stays constant at any outdoor climatic conditions whereas the
output of a pool heat pump varies. However, even when temperatures are cooler the pool heat
pump continues to transfer heat between air and water and it stays the best choice for tempera-
tures down to 5 Celcius (41 Fahrenheit) overnight.
Your pool heat pump is designed for lower maintenance at a lower cost. But if you want
your pool to be heated efficiently, you must follow the advice supplied in this manual.
