Solar Swimming Pool Heating Systems and Inverter Pool Heat Pumps

The most popular and the cheapest solution to run once it’s installed. Some of the main benefits of solar are evident to anyone who’s grown up enjoying Australia’s warm climate and sunny skies. Solar is powered by the sun and that’s something we have plenty of in Australia. This is achieved either through panels or strip matting on the roof. Pool water is pumped up to these solar collectors, run through the heated material and then returned to the pool. Where solar isn’t as useful is during overcast days, in the colder months or when you want to heat your pool up in a hurry.

For many pool owners, the new technology of inverter heat pumps have made a pool heating system based on electricity a much more appealing option, offering energy efficiency, convenience and ecological benefits. An inverter heat pump installed by NCS Pool Heating will warm your pool to consistent temperature regardless of the weather outside and provide warmer water than solar heating. Unlike the old standard heat pumps that used a large amount of electricity, the modern inverter heat pumps that we install are highly energy efficient and whisper quiet to give you a luxury outdoor lifestyle on an affordable budget.

While the ongoing cost of running a gas heating system for a large outdoor swimming pool is expensive compared to solar or inverter heat pumps, for people who prioritise an exceptional outdoor lifestyle you won’t get a better pool heating experience than with gas. You can set the temperature from your phone before leaving for work in the morning and the whole pool will be cozy and warm by the time you return back home. Gas heaters can also be installed and then used occasionally to boost water temperatures as a combined solution with another form of pool heating such as solar.

You wouldn’t invest the money to install a split system air conditioning unit and then spend the money to keep it running while all your doors and windows were open. A custom fitted pool blanket, made in Australia and designed specifically for your pool is like that window or door. It keeps the heat that you’ve created in the pool so that the warmth lasts longer when you’re not swimming, keeping nice and warm for your next dip. As well as assisting with keeping the heat in your pool, a durable pool cover is a must-have investment for any pool owner who wants to reduce evaporation, save money and increase the life of your pool.
