Description
A cold swimming pool is an unused swimming pool and in many upcountry areas swimming pools are too cold to use throughout the year and heating is required. There are a number of options available, but a particularly effective solution is the Dayliff Heat Pump. Heat Pumps utilise energy from two sources, heat from the ambient air and electrical power to run a compressor in a reverse refrigeration cycle, the compression process extracting heat from the ambient air for transfer to the pool water. The heaters are highly efficient operating at a Coefficient of Performance (COP), which is the ratio of energy output to direct energy input, of up to 6 times depending upon the environmental conditions. They are therefore very economical to run compared with fossil fuel alternatives though a pool cover must be used to ensure maximum heat retention. Heat Pumps are simply installed in-line on the filter return to pool pipe and include an integral controller and a durable plastic housing suitable for outdoor installation.
