The choice of your heat pump should be based on the following criteria:

1. Pool volume.
2. Pool insulation (in-ground, semi-in-ground, and above-ground pools have different requirements).
3. Geographic location and altitude.
4. Sunlight exposure.
5. Use of insulating cover (bubble cover or roller shutter).
6. Desired water temperature.

Ideally, your pool should be equipped with a bubble cover or a roller shutter to prevent heat loss during the night.

Although the recommended water temperature to avoid damaging your pool liner is 27°C, you may desire a higher temperature (30°C), which requires additional effort from your heat pump. In this case, we recommend oversizing the power of your heat pump by opting for a model with greater capacity than initially planned. This way, you can achieve the desired temperature more quickly without overloading your heat pump.

Are Poolex heat pumps suitable for year-round use?

While the performance of Poolex heat pump ranges is impressive, they are not designed for year-round use. They would not provide sufficient efficiency to heat an outdoor pool during the winter for swimming.

However, the Articline range falls into the category of year-round heat pumps.
