Heat pumps have traditional been the most expensive type of heating in terms of captial outlay for swimming pool owners. But with the running cost of a heat pump approx 1/4 that of electric, gas or oil the savings gained over a period of time more than justify the capital expense.
Over the past few years a new generation of Heat Pumps have come into the market. First they are much more realistic in terms of capital expense and in most cases will compare favourably with gas or oil heaters. Made from robust materials with titanium elements and in most cases a long warranty this new range of heat pumps have provided the swimming pool owner with an a easy decision. We have noticed that there has been a major shift in the type of swimming pool heater our customers want and in 2008 we are providing a new heat pump that crosses the boundary between the larger inground swimming pool owner and the above ground swimming pool owner.
The Eco swimming pool heat pump has a starting price of £549 and is suitable for a whole range of above ground pools, from the intex, bestway swimming pool to the plastica wooden swimming pool and the vogue swimming pool.
The Eco Swimming Pool Heat Pump are an economical way of heating your swimming pool. Heat Pumps have become more and more popular for heating swimming pools in the UK as energy savings have become more important both for ecological reasons and also as the cost of energy has increased drastically. Heat Pumps have been used for many years to heat Swimming Pools on Mainland Europe and that is where the Eco Range of Swimming Pool Heat Pumps are very popular as they are an extremely effective way of heating your swimming pool economically.
Eco Swimming Pool Heat Pumps are an exceptionally efficient way of heating your swimming pool with a Coefficient Of Performance (C.O.P.) of 4.7, which means for every £1 you spend up to £4.70 of heat is passed in to the pool. With 1 kwh of electricity roughly costing on approximately 10p that means that running your 7.5kw Electric Heater will cost 75p per hour at an average of 8 hours per day will cost £6 per day to run. Using The Eco Swimming Pool Heat Pump will reduce this running cost by up to 79%, which means an hourly running cost of only 17p. That equates to a saving of £5.64 per day or £170 per month. Over a 5-month period you could save £850.
The Eco Swimming Pool Heat Pump Range is very compact with the smallest Eco Heat Pump being only 770mm wide and the largest Eco Heat Pump is only 1100mm wide allowing the Eco Heat Pump to fit into just about any garden. Build quality is very important on Heat Pumps and that is why the heat exchanger on Eco Heat Pumps is made of Titanium to resist chlorine and salt corrosion from the swimming pool. The only real difference on the ECO range Heat Pumps that allows us to reduce the cost and make the Eco Heat pumps such great value for money is that they come with a manual On/Off switch and rotary temperature set rather than electronic. In our opinion not this is not that much of a n issue when you can make such large savings.
The Eco Swimming Pool Heat Pumps have quiet running with a low noise rotary compressor and low noise fan. This keeps the Eco Heat Pump noise level down to roughly 50Db, comparable with the market leaders.
Using R407c for an environmentally friendly operation and with a freeze prevention mode the Eco Swimming Pool Heat Pump Range offers great value for money if you intend to heat your swimming pool economically through the summer months.
