How Does A Pool Heat Pump Work?

These are the best answers that we could find among some of the leaders in the pool heat pump industry:

 
Heat Siphon Says:

YOU ALREADY OWN at Least one HEAT PUMP

HEAT SIPHON Uses 1 unit of Electricity to MOVE 5 to 7* UNITS OF HEAT to your Pool

If you have a room or central air conditioner, water cooler, dehumidifier, or a refrigerator, you already own a heat pump.

All these appliances use the same dependable refrigerant vapor compression technology to move heat from one place to another using electric power and a sealed refrigerant system.

Just like a room air conditioner uses ONE (1) unit of electricity to MOVE TWO (2) to THREE (3) units of heat from your house, your Heat Siphon uses 1 unit of electricity to move 5 to 7* units of heat from the outdoor air to your pool water.

Sound like magic? Hardly .

Heat Siphon USES PROVEN SAFE AND DEPENDABLE TECHNOLOGY TO HEAT YOUR POOL OR SPA AT THE LOWEST TOTAL COST POSSIBLE.

HEAT SIPHON is a stand alone heat pump designed specifically for recreational water heating (in ground, on ground or above ground pools,spas, hot tubs, swim spa's, etc.).


 

YOU PAY FOR 1 UNIT OF ELECTRICITY AND YOU GET 5 to 7* UNITS OF HEAT

At 1 a unit of electrical energy (you pay for) runs the compressor which sucks evaporating freon gas from the liquid filled evaporator tube. This causes a strong cooling effect (just like sweat evaporates from you skin & cools you off). The gas picks up four units of heat (FREE) from the air flowing over the outside of the evaporator tubes.

At 2 the compressor squeezes this gas, causing its temperature to climb above 200° F (93° C) Result: Five units of heat added to the gas.

At 3 the hot,high pressure gas flows through the inside of the condenser coil. The colder 80° F (26° C) pool water picks up the five units of heat from the freon which cools it down back to a warm liquid.

At 4 the warm liquid is forced through a valve. As it drops in pressure, it rapidly expands and becomes extremely cold liquid .This liquid flows back into the evaporator At 1 where it repeats the cycle.
 

IT'S A HEAT PUMP!

Heat SiphonŽ is a stand alone heat pump designed specifically for recreational water heating (in ground, on ground or above ground pools,spas, hot tubs, swim spa's, etc.).If you have an air conditioner, dehumidifier, water cooler or a refrigerator, you already own a heat pump.

All these appliances use the same dependable technology to move heat from on place to another using electric power and a sealed refrigerant compression system.

Just like a room air conditioner moves 2 to 3 units of heat from your home for every unit of electricity it consumes, Heat SiphonŽ uses 1 unit of electric energy to MOVE 4 (Five or six for scroll models*) units of HEAT FROM THE AIR which delivers 5 to 7* units of heat to your pool water.

 

Hayward Heat Pumps Says:

 

The Hayward HeatPro takes the heat from the surrounding air and uses it to heat the water in your pool.

During heat pump operation, liquid freon from inside the unit is pumped through the system (A) and is turned into a heated gas. This happens when heat is taken from the surrounding air (B) as it is drawn through the evaporator by the fan. The compressor (C) receives this warmer gas and compresses it to a higher pressure, resulting in the freon reaching even higher temperatures. As the unit sends the heated gas through the heat exchanger, the gas gives up its heat to the surrounding water (D). The freon is then reverted to its liquid state which completes the cycle (A).

The water (F), which is being forced through the heat exchanger (D) by your pool pump, is heated by three to five degrees as it passes through the heat exchanger. The water, now warmer, then flows back into your pool (G).
