Heat pump for pools<\/strong> is the best solution to extend your bathing season a few months. When the sun doesn\u2019t heat as in summer, it is possible to increase the water temperature a few degrees.<\/p>\n

Operation of a heat pump<\/h2>\n

There are different types of heat pumps<\/a> to warm the water of the pool<\/strong> and even if they run in a different way, the result is always the same; increase the temperature.<\/p>\n

Standard heat pumps<\/h3>\n

These kind of pumps are the most common ones<\/strong>. Heat pumps need to be outside<\/em> because they need air to transform it into energy. This energy turns into heat and it warms the water that enters inside the heat pump in order to return hotter it to the pool.<\/p>\n

Inverter heat pumps<\/h3>\n

Inverter heat pumps have a slightly different way of working. This heat pump also pick up the water of the pool and return it to the pool once it is hot.<\/em>
\nThe difference between those heat pumps is that the last one dose the used energy. A traditional heat pump<\/em> work at 100%, what it means that the fan is constantly working to the maximum taking an outside air. However, the Inverter heat pump<\/strong> manage that energy; the fan doesn\u00b4t work every time at 100%<\/em> but it work at the necessary power depending on the air.
\nIt is important to know that to make heat pumps work, the outside temperature needs to be up to 7\u00baC<\/em>.
\nIt is also recommended to have a cover for the pool as an accessory, so when the heat pump is not working and the sun goes down, the warm of the water doesn’t get lost.<\/p>\n

The installation of the heat pump<\/h2>\n

How can you install a heat pump? When you are going to install the pump in the pool, it is obligatory to read the instruction manual<\/em>. At GRE we want to give you some tips to help you with the process.
\nHeat pumps<\/strong> install after the filtration system and some models like the standard or the inverter, need a by-pass kit<\/a> to make the water flows. It is a kind of key that you can use it to open or close and allows the water to flow into the heat pump.
\nIf you don\u00b4t want to install a by-pass, the best option is to buy a mini heat pump<\/strong>. These products don\u00b4t need any installation and they are perfect to small or medium pools.<\/p>\n

What kind of heat pump do I need to choose for my pool?<\/h2>\n

We have already seen three different type of heat pumps, each one with its characteristics<\/a>, but all of them heat the water.<\/p>\n
