Q. Why should I be thinking of heating my pool with a heat pump? A. A heat pump allows you to heat your pool or spa economically. Depending on energy costs, an AquaCal heat pump can save you up to 80% over propane gas, 50% to 70% over natural gas, and over 600% against electrical resistance heaters found on most spas. This is the reason why thousands of customers choose a heat pump to heat their pool, rather than alternative types of heaters. Q. How does a heat pump work? A. A heat pump simply moves heat from the air and transfers it to the pool/spa water. A heat pump uses a refrigeration cycle exactly like your refrigerator or air conditioner uses. A proven safe, economical and very trouble-free system. Q. How long will it take to heat my pool?
A. The initial start-up heating time will
differ, depending on the size of the pool and the air temperature at the
time that you are trying to heat your pool; other considerations affect
the time also, but these are not as important. However, once your pool
reaches the temperature you desire, the run time can be as little as only
a few hours per day. Q. What is a pool blanket and why should I use one? A. A pool blanket, or solar blanket, is a plastic bubble material that floats on the surface of your pool/spa.It provides a very effective insulation, similar to the insulation in your attic, to keep the heat in your pool or spa. A pool blanket can reduce your heating costs by as much as 60%, even if you use a heat pump. Our pool heating audit compares for you the cost of heating your pool with and without a pool blanket.
