Swimming pool heating

A heat pump is the most economical and most environmentally friendly method of dynamically heating an outdoor swimming pool. For every unit of energy consumed the total heat recovered can be up to five units, even on a cloudy day. Heat pumps extract free energy from outside air over a variety of temperatures from -15°C to +40°C. This energy is harnessed by the heat pump for water heating, units incorporating suitable heat exchangers. Since only a small amount of electrical energy is required, heating output can be up to 5 times electrical input i.e. 500% efficiency. No boiler or electric heater can exceed 100%.

Swimming Pool Heat Pumps

Heat pumps are by no means a strange invention. Similar in operation to a refrigerator, they absorb energy in the form of heat and moisture from outside air, upgrading this energy to a usable form of heat through the unique ability of their refrigeration circuit.

Calorex Heat Pump Efficiency


By careful design Calorex Heat Pumps are capable of providing your pool with up to five units of absorbed heat for every one unit paid for. Even on a cloudy cold day when the temperature may only be 10°C, they will give three units for every one consumed.

Heating your swimming pool with a Calorex heat pump could not be more straightforward and economic. At a cost that won't spoil the enjoyment you, not the weather, will be in control, ensuring your pool will always be at just the right temperature even when the sun isn't shining.

  • Heat pumps can provide up to five units of energy to the pool for everyone unit paid for.
  • Heat pumps require no complicated gas supply oil tanks or flues.
  • Heat pumps will operate from small capacity electrical supplies.
  • Heat pumps are easy to install, quiet in operation and as a result of their design, inherently reliable.
  • Heat pumps are fully automatic - all you have to do is set the thermostat to your required pool temperature.

This diagram illustrates the way in which a heat pump absorbs, upgrades and transfers heat from outside air to swimming pool water.

All Calorex heat pumps contain a fully sealed non-CFC refrigeration circuit which is specifically designed to operate as a swimming pool heat pump. This means that all components used in their construction are designed to give maximum efficiency at typical swimming pool temperatures. Furthermore, the choice of material and construction will give years of trouble free service.
