Swimming Pool Heat Pumps

If you're looking for an efficient way to keep your swimming pool warm throughout the year, an inverter heat pump is one of the smartest choices available. Unlike traditional electric or gas heaters, heat pumps use a highly efficient method to warm your pool using only the ambient air in the environment around us — making them both cost-effective and environmentally friendly.

So, how does it work? A pool heat pump operates by drawing in warm air from the environment and using a refrigeration cycle to capture and intensify that heat. As the air passes over an evaporator coil, a special refrigerant absorbs the heat. This heated refrigerant is then compressed, which significantly raises its temperature. The heat is transferred through a titanium heat exchanger to your pool water, and the cycle continues — maintaining a comfortable swimming temperature with minimal energy usage.

Because heat pumps don't generate heat but rather move it, they consume far less electricity compared to conventional heaters. Even in cooler conditions, they remain effective, providing reliable and consistent heating performance.

With their excellent energy efficiency our pool heat pumps have a much lower cost of operation compared to standard electrical pool heaters. With a COP (coefficient of performance) value up to 12.0 it means that you get around R12.00 worth of heating output power for every R1.00 of electricity used.

Heat pumps are compact and are usually installed neatly next to the swimming pool's pump and filter system. They are also a great alternative when there isn't enough roof space to have pool solar panels installed. Our heat pumps can be used as a standalone pool heating system or can be combined with solar panels and a solar blanket for a complete pool heating solution which offers maximum performance at the lowest possible running cost.

In short, heat pumps are a practical, energy-efficient solution for anyone wanting to maximize pool usage and comfort while minimizing operating costs — all year long. With Aqua Pro, you're not just heating your pool — you're investing in long-term performance, savings, and uninterrupted enjoyment.
