Installing your pool heat pump is a fairly simple task and can be done by the pool owner, a local engineer or our experienced installation engineers. However, the manufacturer's recommendations should always be followed to avoid voiding the warranty, or preventing your heat pump from working properly.

If you decide to install a pool heat pump yourself, here are some tips:

How to Install a Swimming Pool Heat Pump?

1. The right location
Choose a location for your heat pump that gets good air flow. The optimum efficiency of a heat pump relies on good air flow.
Pool heat pumps should be installed outdoors as much as possible to provide ample fresh air. However, some can be installed in the pump room.
2. Water flow
Most of our pool heat pumps state the required water flow on their spec sheet. If the water flow is too low, the water in the heat pump will overheat and the heat pump will shut down.
Check the water flow from the pool pump and filter to make sure it's high enough for your pool heat pump.
3. Base
The base of the heat pump should be level and firm. You can use a concrete base, paving slabs laid on sand, or wooden floors.
The vibrations from the heat pump will be fairly small and will not disturb the paving slabs.
4. Power
Before buying a pool heat pump, you should check the operating and peak currents of the desired model listed on the list.
Make sure your power supply is sufficient to support the operating and starting current of the device.
It is generally recommended to connect a dedicated cable back to your heat pump electrical appliance and install a dedicated circuit breaker for the heat pump.
5. Pipes
It's easy to add a heat pump to an existing pool plumbing system.
First check the pipe size you have.
If you have an existing pool heater, such as a gas or oil boiler, we recommend leaving it in place and keeping the heat pump in line with your existing boiler if it still works.
6. Multiple heat pumps
For large swimming pools, it is possible to run two heat pumps at the same time
Even larger pools can use four heat pumps
7. Indoor heat pump installation
Where possible, heat pumps should always be installed outdoors as they require a constant supply of fresh air to operate and extract heat from. However, some models can be installed in the machine room. For vertical fan models, ducts can be constructed to direct the exhaust air through the walls of the building.
For horizontal fan models, they can be placed against a wall with a hole cut in the wall that aligns with the fan so that the exhaust air can escape to the outside.
8. Indoor swimming pool
Indoor swimming pools have different requirements than outdoor swimming pools, the main difference being the need to dehumidify humid air and heat the air in winter.
Typically for indoor swimming pools, the air temperature should be 1 degree warmer than the pool water. For example pool water = 28c, air temperature = 29c.
9. Heat pumps for hot tubs and swim spas
Our heat pumps can also be installed in hot tubs and swim spas.
