.... the best most economic pool heater types available!
Why choose a Swiming Pool / Pond heat pump from discount Leisure?
Simply because it's inexpensive - to buy - to run - to install. Realistically, in this counrty, all swimming pools whether above or inground, need heating to obtain the maximum use from the summer season. Having a pool in your garden may be aesthetically pleasing to the eye but unless the swimming pool feels warm and inviting, the swimming pool will not be used to its full potential. By investing in a Heat Pump, this can change! Generally, the main heating systems available for swimming pools are Gas (LPG or Propane), Electric or Oil heaters. Some of these heaters can be beneficial from a cost point of view but tend to loose their appeal when it comes to installation costs. What the other heating systems cannot offer you is both the heat effiency and low running cost!
How does it work?
Heat pumps are a super efficient way to heat the swimming pool. It makes full use of the advanced refridgeration technology to capture the heat in the outside air and transfer it to the pool water.
Environmental refrigerant gas absorbs and transfers the heat energy through the refrigeration circulation system. The fan circulates air through the outer Evaporator Air Coil that acts as a heat collector. The liquid refrigerant in the air coil absorbs the availible heat in the air transforming it to a gas. The refrigerant gas is then pumped by the Compressor. When this warmed gas is compressed, it intensifies or concentrates the heat. This intensely hot gas is then pumped into the Heat Exchanger Condenser where the actual heat exchange takes place. As the pool water passes through the Heat Exchanger, the hot gas gives up its heat to the cooler pool water. The refrigerant returns to a liquid state and is pumped through the Expansion Valve and then into the Evaporator Air Coil to start the process over again.

Some efficiency may be lost when this option is taken as Heat Pumps are designed for outdoor use.
