Tips for heating your pool

More people than ever before are researching pool heating. With people wanting to make the most of their investment in their pool, one way to do this is to increase the amounts of time you can swim in the pool.

 

There are three main ways to heat your pool:

  1. There is solar heating which requires matting on the roof and a pump and controller to run the system; this works well when the sun is out.
  2. There is also gas heating. This heats quicker than most methods and works very well on spas and small volumes of water or for people who only use the pool occasionally.
  3. The final method to heat the pool is currently the one most customers enquire about, which are the heat pumps; due to how efficient they are and how well they work at any time of the year.

 

Heat pump popularity has risen greatly here in Perth over the last several years, as their efficiency means you can heat your pool without exorbitant power bills. They work just like a reverse cycle air-conditioner, they extract ambient heat from the atmosphere, which is then transferred to the pool water. They use a fraction of the energy to generate the same amount of heat, compared to gas. They do work most effectively when you also have a pool cover.

 

There are a great number of sizes and models, so you are best to get expert advice on the best size for your requirements. Experts will ask for details such as how many months a year you want to swim, what temperature you prefer (most of our customers choose 26-28 degrees), if you have a pool cover, how large the pool is, how much wind exposure there is around the pool area and several other details that will provide you with the best size unit to suit your needs.

 

If you are here in Perth and need advice on a heat pump, feel welcome to email me at nicole@bppe.com.au and I can send you a sizing form and advise you on the most suitable size for your pool; then quote you suitable models.

Daisy Pool Cover

"*" indicates required fields

Please feel welcome to also email us a diagram along with the answers below
Using the how to measure diagram, please provide the size of your pool in metres, please provide Pool Width (A) and Pool Length (B) in metres
Please include total length (B) in metres and total width (A) in metres if you have not listed it below the diagram
Does your pool have a step? Please note if your step is at the end of the pool and not on the side, you need to include it in the overall length of the pool as they cannot add to the length of the blanket for a step, only the width*
If your pool has a step is it on the RHS or LHS when looking from the shallow end of the pool?
What cover shall we quote you on? Note the thickest 525 micron covers do last longer*
If you need a quote on a roller, which roller shall we quote? If you choose one that does not suit the size of your pool, we will quote the closest option.*

If you already have a roller, do you need the attachment kit (refit kit) to reattach your new blanket to your existing roller? Please note if you are ordering a roller it will come with an attachment kit included*
If you already have a roller, do you need an over cover to protect the blanket once rolled up. You will likely already have one, but some customers find it has worn out so they need a new one to protect their new blanket. If you need an over cover we need to know the length of the roller tube in metres. Please note if you are ordering a roller it will come with an over cover included.*
