Ground Source vs Air Source Heat Pumps
Both air source and ground source heat pumps provide a cost effective, efficient and eco friendly way to heat your swimming pool. As their names suggest, they both draw naturally occurring heat from the air or the earth.
Both systems work in a very similar way, but they have very different setups and requirements, the one that’s more suited to you will depend on your budget and how much available space you have outside your home.
How does a ground source heat pump heat my pool?
A ground source heat pump is sometimes referred to as a geothermal heat pump. These pumps provide an efficient and eco friendly source of renewable energy for many years and have many financial and environmental beneftis over conventional sources of pool heating.
How do swimming pool air source heat pumps work?
An air source heat pump works the same way your refrigerator does, it draws heat from the outside air and is turned into heat for your pool.
A special refrigerant gas is used to collect any heat from the outside air that is blown by the fan across the coils of the evaporator. Once the heat has been absorbed it is turned into gas and pumped to the compressor, as the gas is compressed it’s heat intesifies and gets hotter, the gas is then pumped through it’s colis into the heat exchanger. The heat exchanger drum is filled with water from your pool and as the gas passes through the coils it warms the pool water.
How to heat your pool the eco-friendly way
