With the fall of temperatures and the arrival of autumn, it is common to have doubts about how to heat the pool efficiently. When is it preferable to choose an electric heater and when a heat pump? How can we keep the heat with a cover?
In Piscinarium we show you the different types and heating systems to prepare your pool for the coldest days and thus extend the swimming season by increasing the water temperature by a few degrees. Can you imagine swimming in warm water when it has just got dark or even if it is snowing outside?
TYPES AND SYSTEMS OF HEATING
There are technologies for all types of pools, indoor and outdoor, new or existing. When choosing the most suitable heating system, factors such as the type of pool, the ambient temperature or the humidity level must be taken into account, especially in outdoor pools.
Heat pumps
To extend the swimming season and heat the water in your pool, air/water heat pumps use the heat from the outside air to pass it to its internal circuit, which will heat the water. These equipments have low electrical consumption compared to other systems such as heat exchangers, electric heaters, ... Undoubtedly, they are the most efficient technology on the market for the heating of the pool.
Some of the main models on the market are: AstralPool Heat 3, AstralPool Pro Elyo Inverboost NN, AstralPool EVOline NN, AstralPool Proheat II, Zodiac Power, Hayward Powerline Classic, ...
Electric heaters
Electric heaters work using the Joule effect, are discreet and are effective for smaller pools, making it possible to save space and simplify the water heating system. Their installation is simple; they are placed on the pool's filtration circuit and can heat the pool water in 2 to 5 days. The maintenance cost is somewhat higher than the other options and it is recommended to use them in the most economical time slot, according to the tariffs of our electricity supplier.
Heat exchangers
This solution is convenient if the pool is not far from our house. The heat exchangers are placed on the boiler installation of our home, as long as it has been designed to support this system. In this way, the pool water is heated by this boiler through two independent circuits. If we have an efficient boiler, an increase of the pool temperature will be achieved in a period of 2 days.
Pool covers
In addition to being a safety feature, covers protect the pool and maintain the water temperature by preventing the accumulated heat from being lost during the night. Covers with manual or motorized rollers help to save water and reduce heat loss from the pool water. In addition, they prevent water treatment chemicals from evaporating prematurely. Did you know that these systems can help reduce energy consumption by up to 50%?
Solar panels
Solar panels make the most of natural energy resources. They are, without a doubt, the most sustainable and ecological option for heating water. However, the climate in which our pool is located will determine whether this is the best system. Solar collectors can be located in any area, preferably near the pool, on the cover itself or in an area without shade and that receives a large amount of sunlight.
Dehumidifiers
Dehumidifiers remove the humid and cold air, keeping the air dry and warm. In addition, they favor the work of heat pumps, minimizing their energy consumption and using the quietest technology.
