In addition to defining our pool’s needs and characteristics to choose the ideal heat pump, it is also essential to understand the different characteristics that define this equipment and also conduct an annual heating inspection. Then, we detail the different technical aspects of a pool heat pump to choose the equipment that best suits your pool.
Heat Pump Power
The power that each heat pump has to increase the pool water is indicated in kW. One way to know the kW we will need to heat the pool is to multiply the cubic meters (m3) that the pool has by 0.3. Although this calculation is not very detailed and precise, it allows us to get an idea of the kW required, considering that a thermal blanket is also used to retain heat better.
Since it is essential to know the temperature and area in which the pool is located and the wind, these elements account for 95% of the heat loss generated by the pump.
Coefficient Of Performance Or Coefficient Of Performance
The COP (Coefficient of Performance in English) shows the ratio between the heat (or cold) contributed to the pool water and the energy that has been consumed for it. Therefore, the higher the COP, the more energy-efficient the heat pump will have.
In any case, it is essential to make sure that the measurements from which the heat pumps are compared have been taken under the same conditions: the same air and water temperatures. Heat pump manufacturers typically report these measurements in two states: the temperatures where the equipment will perform best and the other under the most challenging conditions and where performance is lowest.
NF Standard
The NF regulation certifies the quality and safety of the equipment according to European and French legislation. This implies different guarantees in the heat pump quality since the manufacturer receives an annual audit and control of the certified and measured performances and information and after-sales service of the product.
De-Icing Capacity
One of the aspects to consider when choosing a heat pump is that it can defrost or defrost. This function allows the heat pump to be put into a condition quickly if the temperatures have frosted it since this can cause a loss of performance and may even stop working.
