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!
Consequently, how warm will a heat pump get a pool?
As a rule of thumb, the highest water temperature rise you can get from an air-source heat pump under ideal conditions is 30°. For example, if the outside temperature is in the 40s, you can expect the pool to warm up only to the 70s.
Likewise, people ask, how long do Hayward pool heat pumps Last?
With proper installation and maintenance, a heat pump will generally have a lifespan of about ten years, though many have lasted longer. We at AquaCal have seen some last as long as 15 years!
Do heat pumps also cool?
Heat pumps provide both cooling and heating. Heat pumps have a device called a reversing valve that reverses the flow of the refrigerant in the system, allowing the heat pump to remove heat from the interior in cooling mode and add warmth to the interior in heating mode.
Which is better a heat pump or gas heater for pool?
Heat pump pool heaters cost more than gas pool heaters, but they typically have much lower annual operating costs because of their higher efficiencies. With proper maintenance, heat pump pool heaters typically last longer than gas pool heaters. Therefore, you’ll save more money in the long run.
Should I run my pool heat pump at night?
What size heat pump do I need for my pool?

How much is a pool heater and chiller?
Overall, you can probably get a new pool chiller and heater combo for around $6,100 to $6,500. Standalone pool chillers typically have starting costs of $2,500 to $3,500 and up. Keep in mind that pool chiller prices will vary depending on the size of your pool, the manufacturer, and the pool chiller type.
