Modern inverter driven pool heat pumps can deliver up to 14kw of heat to the pool for every 1kw of electricity used.
This makes the efficiency of a swimming pool heat pump up to 1400% whereas an electric heater is only 1:1 between input and output (100%)
The swimming pool heat pumps that we sell are highly efficient and have very high COPs. The COP is the ratio of the input power to the output heat to the pool.
Most swimming pool heat pumps deliver at leadt 5-6kw of heat to the pool for every 1kw of electricity they use. Modern inverter driven pool heat pumps can deliver up to 14kw of heat to the pool for every 1kw of electricity used.
This makes the efficiency of a swimming pool heat pump up to 1400% whereas an electric heater is only 1:1 between input and output (100%)
Inverter technology allows the fan and the compressor in the pool heat pump to run at variable speeds.
The heat pump can therefore adjust its output to exactly match the demand from the pool.
