Which heat pump to choose ?

Heat pumps are nowadays an indispensable element of swimming pools and homes. 


Indeed, the heat pump uses the calories of a natural environment (water, air, ground, free elements) to transform them via a compressor into energy that can be used to heat but also to cool a swimming pool, a house, .... 


To choose a heat pump, you need to take into account  :

  • The power of the heat pump (depending on the size of your pool) 
  • The coefficient of performance (or COP, which measures the efficiency of the heat pump). This is generally measured with the air at 15°C and the water at 26°C.
  • The higher it is, the more efficient the heat pump will be 
    The bathing period, as some heat pumps do not work at temperatures close to 0. 
  • Compressor technology. There are classic compressors with a single operating power, variable speed compressors (Inverter) which adjust their operation according to the real need and the Full inverter which associates to the compressor a variable speed fan which adapts itself according to the operation of the compressor.
