THE FUTURE IS HERE...
Welcome to the best form of heating your pool when the outside temperature is above 15ºC.
Simply because itís inexpensive - to buy - to run - to install.
Realistically, in this country, all swimming pools whether above or in-ground, need heating to obtain the maximum use from the summer season.
Having a pool in your garden may be aesthetically pleasing to the eye but unless the pool feels warm and inviting, the pool will not be used to its full potential. By investing in a Heat Pump, this can change!
Generally, the main heating systems available for swimming pools are Gas (LPG or Propane), Electric or Oil heaters. Some of these heaters can be beneficial from a cost point of view but tend to loose their appeal when it comes to installation costs.
A Heat Pump does not generate heat, it simply captures it and moves it from air to water thus, providing ant efficient and environmentally friendly system for heating your swimming pool!
Our heat use Scroll technology making them ultra efficient and Titanium Heat exchangers, enabling us to offer you a 5 YEAR GURANTEE regardless of Water quality!!!

HEATPUMP EFFICENCY COMPARISON CHART (above)
This chart shows what percentage of your £1 will be used to produce heat in your pool. Heat pumps don't have a simple efficiency number to work with. Their efficiency is measured by coefficient of performance (COP). Water heat pump's COP ranges from 4.5-5, which means that for every unit of electricity that you put in to run the compressor, you get 4.5-5 units of heat out of the heat pump. Water heat pumps can radically improve the energy efficiency and environmental value of any heating system that is driven by primary energy resources such as fuel or power.
HOW DO I KNOW THAT I AM BUYING THE CORRECT SIZE UNIT?
Sizing the correct heat pump for your pool is very important. We would recommend that you use our pool heat loss calculator www.paramountonlineguide.co.uk to determine how much heat your pool construction looses. You will then be able to purchase the correct size heater.
WHEN I USE A HEAT PUMP, SHOULD I USE A POOL COVER OR SOLAR BLANKET AS WELL?
Any reduction in pool heat loss directly translates into savings. 82% of all losses are due to evaporation. Using a pool cover just a night will save about 40% of the annual heating cost. A pool cover or solar blanket can cut total pool heat loss by 50% to 95%. The use of a solar blanket will also help extend your pool season.
WHAT IS THR MINIMUM AMBIENT OPERATING TEMPERATURE?
Both heat pumps will actually operate down to an ambient air temperature of 0 degrees celcius, but with minimal heat output. Therefore we recommend that the minimum operating temperature should be 15 degrees celcius. Other conditions such as wind, shade and physical location will affect the shut-off temperature of the unit.
WILL THE HEAT PUMP EVER NEED MORE FREON (refrigerant gas)?
Unless the heat pump has a leak in the sealed refridgeration system, the factory charge of Freon should last for the life of the unit. Freon is very stable and should not degrade or breakdown even under servere operating conditions. If your unit needs Freon, then it has a leak, and adding Freon will not solve the problem. The leak must be located and repaired. Fortunately, Freon leaks are very uncommon and usually are due to shipping damage.
HOW CLOSE TO YOUR POOL?
Normally, the pool pump and heat pump are installed close together and within 25 feet of the pool. The longer the distance from the pool, the more heat loss from piping. Since normally most of the piping is buried, the heat loss is minimal for runs of up to 50 feet (50 feet to and from the pump = 100 feet total) unless the ground is wet or the water table is high. A very rough estimate of heat loss per 100 foot is 2500 BTU/hr for every 10 degrees farenheit difference in temperature between the pool water and ground surrounding the pipe, which translates to about 3% to 5% increase in run time.
