How a Heat Pump Swimming Pool Heater Works

A heat pump works like an air conditioner in reverse. Instead of extracting heat from your home and sending it to the outdoors, it pulls heat from the outdoor air and transfers it to a location that needs heating. In this case, it heats your Milwaukee, WI, swimming pool.

Here's a closer look at how the heating cycle works:

• The heater’s fan draws in air and sends it to the evaporator coil containing liquid refrigerant.
• The refrigerant absorbs heat from the air and becomes a hot gas.
• The gas travels to the compressor and heats up even more.

A pool pump sends water through a filter and into the heater. As the hot refrigerant and the pool water flow through the heat exchanger simultaneously, the pool water heats to a comfortable temperature.

Swimming Pool Heat Pumps: Pros and Cons

A heat pump heater’s ability to move heat with zero emissions makes it more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly than a gas heater. It typically costs more to purchase than a gas heater, but saves money in the long run by lowering energy costs.

On the other hand, a gas heater can warm your pool faster than a heat pump heater. The higher the temperature is outdoors, the quicker a heat pump will warm the pool water. Heat pump heaters lose efficiency when the air temperature dips below 45° to 50° Fahrenheit.
