Choosing a pool heat pump
Choose a model based on pool volume, desired swimming season, placement, climate, and how quickly you want to heat the pool. In a Nordic climate, it is often wise to choose a model with a good margin, especially if the pool is used early in spring or late in autumn.
Installation and use
The pool heat pump should be installed according to the manufacturer's instructions and with the correct water flow, electrical connection, and placement. Electrical installation must be performed by a qualified professional where required.
Place the heat pump with good air circulation and clear space around the unit. Correct placement improves both efficiency, noise level, and lifespan.
Care and advice
- Keep air intake and exhaust free from leaves, dirt, and obstructions.
- Check water flow and pool system regularly.
- Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for winter storage and shutdown.
- Use a pool cover when the pool is not in use to reduce heat loss.
