What size EvoHeat heat pump do I need for my pool?
The right size depends on more than pool volume. Pool location, desired water temperature, use of a pool cover, exposure to wind and shade, and the length of your swimming season can all affect the heating capacity required. AquaTech can assess these factors and recommend a suitable EvoHeat model and capacity.
How long does an EvoHeat heat pump take to heat a pool?
Heating time varies depending on the size of the pool, starting water temperature, outdoor conditions, heat pump capacity and whether a pool cover is used. Initial heating can take considerably longer than maintaining the pool once it has reached the selected temperature.
Should I use a pool cover with a heat pump?
Yes. A pool cover helps reduce heat loss and evaporation from the water surface. This can help the heat pump bring the pool to the desired temperature and maintain that temperature more efficiently.
Can an EvoHeat heat pump heat my pool during Melbourne’s cooler months?
EvoHeat offers models capable of operating across different ambient temperature ranges. However, heating performance and the capacity required will depend on the outdoor conditions, pool temperature and selected model. If you want to extend your swimming season into the cooler months, this should be considered when sizing the system.
Can I control an EvoHeat pool heat pump from my phone?
Selected EvoHeat models include Wi-Fi connectivity that allows compatible functions to be controlled remotely. Available controls depend on the model selected, so AquaTech can confirm the features available with the recommended system.
Can an EvoHeat heat pump cool my pool as well as heat it?
Selected EvoHeat models provide both heating and cooling functions. Cooling can be useful where pool water becomes warmer than desired during hot weather. The available operating modes depend on the EvoHeat model selected.
Can I replace my existing pool heater with an EvoHeat heat pump?
Yes, an EvoHeat heat pump may be suitable when replacing an older heat pump or another pool heating system. The existing plumbing, electrical requirements, available installation space and heating needs should be assessed before selecting the replacement.
Where should an EvoHeat pool heat pump be installed?
A pool heat pump needs sufficient airflow and appropriate clearances around the unit. Its position should also account for the pool equipment layout, plumbing, drainage and electrical supply. AquaTech can assess the available space when planning the installation.
