A heat pump is one of the most popular ways to heat your pool. But how does a heat pump work, and how warm does the water get when using a heat pump?
How does a heat pump work?
A pool heat pump extracts energy from the air, which is then converted into heat and added to the pool water. This allows the pool water to be heated relatively quickly. A disadvantage of the heat pump is that it consumes electricity, which means you can enjoy warm water, but at a higher cost.
How many degrees per hour does a heat pump heat the pool?
Now that we know how a heat pump works, it’s good to know how many degrees it heats per hour or per day. Normally, a heat pump increases the pool water temperature up to 4 degrees per day. This means that within 3 to 4 days, your pool water can go from 15°C to 28°C. Keep in mind that the water cools down at night, so it may take a little longer for the water to reach and maintain 28°C. You can choose to run the heat pump 24 hours a day so it can reheat the water as needed.
No energy costs, but warm water
Don’t want the extra energy costs associated with using a heat pump? The SunnyTent is the perfect way to heat your pool water without paying for electricity. The SunnyTent pool dome is a natural way to heat your pool water. Thanks to its thermal foil, it creates a greenhouse effect that warms the water and air inside the pool dome. Additionally, the warmth stays inside the SunnyTent and your pool, as the SunnyTent surrounds the entire pool. Heat can hardly escape. Because it stays warm inside the SunnyTent, you can enjoy swimming in comfortable temperatures from April through October!
