How to Choose the Right Size Heater for Your Pool in QLD
When it comes to pool heating, heat pumps for swimming pools are hard to beat. This reliable pool heating solution suits year-round use and is popular with many Queensland families. At Peachy Pools, we want to help you find the right size and style of pool heat pump to suit your pool and ensure top-notch performance. Here’s our guide to pool heat pump sizing, with our expert tips and tricks for making the right choice.
Consider Pool Size
To achieve optimal pool heating performance, you need a high-quality heat pump that matches the pool size and location requirements. The larger the pool, the larger the heat pump needs to be to heat water in 48 hours or less and maintain your preferred temperature throughout use. A small pool can use a smaller heat pump, although running a larger heat pump at half speed is more efficient than a small heat pump at full capacity.
Factor in Pool Location
Outdoor pools or pools in windy areas may experience more temperature and water level fluctuations, which means the heat pump will need more time to heat up water. In that case, you will want to use a larger pool heat pump. Pools that are highly sheltered or in an area with relatively consistent exposure to the elements may be managed with a medium-sized heat pump, but it’s best to speak to your pool supply specialists for their expert advice.
Preferred Temperature
While climate and frequency of use play a role in determining the ideal size of heat pumps for swimming pools, so does your preferred water temperature. If you want a refreshing summer swim spot, then your heating needs won’t be that great. However, for the flexibility to swim throughout the winter, you will want a larger heat pump that can warm the water quickly all year round.
