Heat and Cool Your Swimming Pool
Enjoy your pool longer by heating it in the spring and fall and cooling it during the hottest summer months. A heat and cool pool heat pump gives you full control over your water temperature, ensuring comfort in every season.
Why choose a heat and cool model?
Unlike heat only pool heat pumps, heat and cool models use a special component called a reversing valve. This technology allows the unit to both heat and cool your pool water and also enables the system to defrost itself. That means it can continue heating even when outdoor temperatures drop into the low 40s. Standard heat-only pumps will typically frost up and stop working once the air temperature dips below 50 degrees.
For anyone who wants to get the most out of their swimming season, a heat and cool pool heat pump is a smart investment.
Heat and Cool Pool Heat Pumps
Extend your swimming season with year round pool heating applications.
Heat-cool pool heat pumps (also called pool chillers) can give you a longer swimming pool season by cooling your pool water on hot summer days, and warming the water in the spring and fall when the ambient air temp can sometimes be in the low 40's.
How Do Heat and Cool Pool Heat Pumps Work?
Heat-Cool units have a unique reversing cycle which enables the pool heat pump not only to take the chill out of the water, but also to put it back in, cooling your pool water during the hot summer months!
Usually a pool heat pump will capture heat energy from the air with the evaporator coil. Using refrigerant and several other components, the heat is transferred over to your pool water. By reversing this process, the pool heat pump can actually take heat out of the water, transfer it to the Freon, and run it through the evaporator coil. The coil releases the heat into the outside air. In colder conditions, a standard pool heat pump will freeze up when the ambient air drops below 50 degrees. With a Heat-Cool unit, the reversing valve will allow the pool heat pump to defrost itself, which enable the unit to continue heating at much lower ambient air temps.
Advantages of Heating and Cooling Units
Heat and Cool units are just the right pool heat pump for climates with cool temperatures, but also extremely hot summer months. You can relax in your pool during the hot days of summer with cool, refreshing, chilled pool water. You can also enjoy warm pool water in the Spring and Fall – no more shocking cold water! When Heat-Cool units are in the heating mode, they will warm the pool at colder outside air temperatures than heat only units. With a Heat-Cool pool heat pump, your water temperature will always be comfortable.
