I have been taking some heat from some of my blog reading buddies lately for not writing enough about Swimming pool heat pumps, and how they can save you thousands of dollars when you are heating or cooling pools, homes and businesses, and of course my favorite industries: aquaculture and aquaponics. At first I was […]
Hey all you Northern hemisphere people. Late spring is here, and it is time to think about swimming even though this morning I woke up to temperatures in the high 40’s F or below 10C for all you European and South American peeps. Even my Florida, Texas and Arizona friends are still using their heat […]
I have a swimming pool heat pump at my home that was left over from a successful run test 10 plus years ago. It probably has the old freon 22 that was discontinued in 2010. I like to watch heat pumps working in the field for a few years before I distribute them if at […]
I get calls like this almost every day. Swimming pool heat pumps should last 10 to 15 years. 10 years ago many pool heaters used the old discontinued freon 22 refrigerant. I come from a service background. It is natural for me to try to repair my customers old heat pumps if I could do it […]
Heat pumps are my life; especially for swimming pools and aquaculture / hydroponics applications. Since I missed hockey-sign ups, I have not been getting my usual exercise. I have not been feeling the healthiest and was looking for some good clean swimming fun with my family. I was eagerly anticipating a work-out swim in a heated indoor […]
Be aware if you are going to use a national well known name brand heat pump that it might have been built in another country: as far away as China. In the last couple years we’ve been noticing that some of the major names in swimming pool heat pump manufacturing industry have been outsourcing their […]
I grew up in MA so I know your area well. In your state I like to heat from May first through as much of October as possible unless you have too much of a falling leaf situation. Some of my heartier customers start in April if they are having good weather. You need to […]
Thank you for writing. The best thing to do if follow your manufacturers procedure that is in most owners manuals. If that isn’t an option then I would disconnect the water pipes and put a wet vac on each pipe on the heat pump and suck out any remaining water. Then squirt some recreational vehicle […]
“Marc- Thanks for all the info. I’ve been looking at the Ultraquiet 130. I really can’t understand why I would choose the “regular” vs the hot and cold version for a few hundred dollars more? I certainly don’t ever need to “chill” my pool but it seems that this also has an added defrost cabaility […]
Some installations require more than one pool heat pump. That is true with large pools and large aquaculture farms. Here is a diagram with a suggested piping for a multiple unit set up. If you have any questions about your project that we can help you with, please send us an email at info@heatpumpsuppliers.com or […]
