Short answer: the most efficient way to heat a pool is a dedicated pool heat pump. For every kW of electricity it uses, it delivers 5-6 kW of heat. Combine it with solar panels and the cost approaches zero.
How does a pool heat pump work?
The pump extracts heat from the outside air and transfers it to the pool water via a heat exchanger. Because it moves heat rather than generating it, its efficiency (COP) is far higher than electric or gas heating.
How much does it cost to run?
Thanks to the high COP, running costs are low. If you power the pump with your own solar energy during the day — exactly when you use it — you heat the pool virtually for free.
How long can you swim?
With a properly sized pump and a thermal cover, you extend your swimming season by several months. On the Costa Blanca, with the right setup, you can even swim year-round.
Choosing the right size
The required power depends on the water volume, whether the pool is covered and the desired temperature. A pump that is too small will not reach temperature; one that is too big is an unnecessary expense.
