We associate swimming pools with good weather, sunshine, and warmth—elements characteristic of summer or even the late spring months, which is when we usually take our dips. Because, who’s crazy enough to swim when it’s cold? If you want, you can be one of them.
When winter arrives, what should you do with your swimming pool? As we mentioned in our previous post on this blog , you can put it in hibernation , but you can also continue to enjoy it.
There are two possibilities for heating our swimming pools.
1. EXTENDED SEASON
With a relatively small investment, we can extend our swimming season, maintaining temperatures of 28ºC from April to October.
In this way, during periods of hot days and nighttime thermal inversion (ambient temperature below water temperature), we can maintain the water temperature above 25°C, preventing the pool water from cooling down during the night.
2. ALL YEAR ROUND
With high-capacity heat pumps we can heat any indoor or outdoor pool all year round.
Ways to heat our swimming pool
- HEAT PUMP: For this we use machines with the highest efficiency on the market, COP 1 to 5. For every kW of energy supplied, the heat pump returns 5 times that energy.
- HEAT EXCHANGER: We take advantage of an existing heat source (gas boiler, oil boiler, solar panels) to transmit heat through a heat exchanger to the pool water.
- ELECTRIC HEATER: Energy the least efficient, but in some cases it is recommended.
If you are considering heating your swimming pool, we can carry out an economic and energy cost study without any obligation, based on the characteristics of your pool.
