Pool Heating Options for Melbourne Pools

Different pools and households have different heating requirements. The right option depends on factors such as your pool size, when you want to swim, your preferred water temperature, available roof space and how much control you want over your pool heating.

AquaTech can assess your pool and help you compare the main heating options based on how you plan to use it.

Pool Heat Pumps

Pool heat pumps provide greater control over water temperature and can be a good option for pool owners who want to extend their swimming season or maintain a more consistent pool temperature.

The correct heat pump size depends on the pool and how it will be used.

Heat Pump vs Solar Pool Heating

Heat pumps and solar pool heating can both extend your swimming season, but they differ in how they operate, the level of temperature control they provide and the conditions they rely on.

The right option depends on your pool, property and how you plan to use it. The comparison below highlights some of the main differences.

Choosing the Right Pool Heating System

Choosing the right pool heating system involves more than simply selecting between a heat pump and solar heating. The system should suit your pool, property and the way you plan to use it.

AquaTech considers several factors when recommending a pool heating solution:

Pool size and volume
Larger pools contain more water and generally require greater heating capacity to reach and maintain the desired temperature.

Desired pool temperature
The temperature you want to maintain affects the amount of heating required. This is particularly important if you want warmer water or plan to swim outside the warmer months.

How you plan to use your pool
Heating requirements can differ depending on whether you simply want to extend the swimming season or maintain a more consistent water temperature for longer periods.

Pool cover use
A suitable pool cover can help reduce heat loss from the water surface, which can improve heating efficiency and make it easier to maintain the selected temperature.

Pool location and weather exposure
Shade, wind and local conditions can affect heat loss. Two pools of a similar size may therefore have different heating requirements.

Available roof space and sunlight
For solar pool heating, the amount of suitable roof space, roof orientation and exposure to sunlight can affect system design and performance.

Existing pool equipment
The pool’s pump, filtration system, plumbing and existing pool equipment should also be considered when planning a new heating system or replacing an older one.

Pool Heat Pumps for Melbourne Pools

Pool heat pumps provide an efficient way to heat swimming pools while giving pool owners greater control over their water temperature. A heat pump captures heat from the surrounding air and transfers it into the pool water as it circulates through the system.

Unlike solar pool heating, a heat pump does not require direct sunlight to operate. This makes heat pumps suitable for pool owners who want to extend their swimming season, maintain a selected water temperature or have greater control over when their pool is heated.

Correct sizing is important for effective pool heating. Pool volume, desired water temperature, seasonal use, weather exposure and heat loss should all be considered when selecting a heat pump. AquaTech can assess these factors and recommend a system suited to your pool and how you plan to use it.

EvoHeat Pool Heat Pumps

AquaTech supplies and installs EvoHeat pool heat pumps for residential pools across Melbourne. EvoHeat offers a range of pool heating systems for different pool sizes, heating requirements and usage patterns.

AquaTech can help select a suitable EvoHeat model and install it as part of your pool’s heating and circulation system. Installation considers factors such as equipment positioning, airflow, water flow and the requirements of the selected heat pump.

Solar Pool Heating for Melbourne Pools

Solar pool heating uses energy from the sun to warm pool water. Water is circulated through solar collectors, usually installed on a suitable roof area, where it absorbs heat before returning to the pool.

For Melbourne pool owners who want to extend their swimming season while keeping ongoing heating costs low, solar heating can be a practical option. Once installed, the system primarily relies on solar energy, although the pool pump and controls still require electricity to operate.

The performance of a solar pool heating system depends on several factors, including the size of the pool, available roof area, roof orientation, exposure to sunlight and local weather conditions. The size and positioning of the solar collectors should therefore be considered as part of the system design.

AquaTech can assess your pool and property to determine whether solar heating is suitable and recommend a system based on the available roof space and your pool heating requirements.

Pool Heating Installation Melbourne

A correctly installed pool heating system needs to work effectively with the pool’s existing circulation, filtration and plumbing. The position of the equipment, water flow and system configuration can all affect how well the heating system performs.

AquaTech provides professional pool heating installation across Melbourne for both heat pump and solar pool heating systems. Before installation, we can assess the pool, existing equipment and property to determine the requirements of the selected heating system.

For pool heat pumps, installation includes connecting the unit to the pool’s circulation system and considering factors such as equipment positioning, airflow, water flow and electrical requirements.

For solar pool heating, installation involves assessing suitable roof space, positioning the solar collectors and integrating the system with the pool’s circulation equipment and controls.

Where existing pool equipment affects the proposed heating setup, AquaTech can identify this during the assessment and discuss the available options before installation.

Replacing or Upgrading an Existing Pool Heating System

Pool heating systems can become less suitable over time as equipment ages, pool requirements change or newer heating options become available. An existing system may also no longer provide the level of temperature control or performance you want from your pool.

AquaTech can assess an existing heat pump or solar pool heating system and help determine whether replacement or an upgrade is appropriate. This includes considering the condition of the current equipment, pool size, heating requirements and how the existing system is integrated with the pool’s circulation and filtration equipment.

For an older heat pump, this may involve replacing the unit with a correctly sized newer model. If you are considering changing from solar heating to a heat pump, AquaTech can also assess your pool and property to determine what would be required for the new setup.

Where an existing solar pool heating system requires replacement, the available roof space, collector layout and existing plumbing can be considered when planning the new system.

The aim is to select a heating solution that suits how you use your pool now, rather than simply replacing the existing equipment with a similar system.
