Did you know it ? • Equipping the pool with an isothermal cover allows to reduce the needed power (less powerful heat pump), and consequently, the consumption ! • Using the heat pump when the outdoor air is the hottest will allow to maximize the performances (hence minimize the electricity consumption). Heating during hot sunny days and covering at night is the optimal solution! • Covering the pool at night (or when the outdoor air T°C is fresher) with an isothermal cover, will slow down the decrease of pool T°C. > PARAMETERS FOR CHOOSING A HEATING SYSTEM To define a system suitable for a pool, many parameters need to be considered. The most important parameters (but non-exhaustive) are the ones below: 1. Geographical location 2. Target temperature 3. Period of use 4. Pool volume (m3) 5. Presence of an isothermal cover or not 6. Filtration time To consider all the parameters which impact the sizing of a heating system, online configurators are available: * A heat pump is a very efficient solution which can restitute great more power than it consumes thanks to its thermodynamic system. ** The running cost will depend on the heating source. If renewable (e.g solar energy), it will be very low. However, with a gas, oil or electricity heating source, the running costs will be higher.
