Can the Heat Pump Cool the Swimming Pool?

As climate change makes heat waves more frequent and intense, 2022 is likely to continue the trend of the world's hottest years.

An extremely strong heat wave continues to sweep the world.

Recently, heatwave warnings have been issued all over the world. Arab weather reports say heat waves in Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Kuwait will worsen, with temperatures exceeding 50 degrees Celsius. Unprecedented heatwaves have also spread to southern and central Europe, with the hottest places concentrated in Portugal, Spain and France. Parts of Spain ushered in the hottest May on record, with temperatures reaching 40 degrees Celsius in some areas. In May, France experienced the highest temperature of more than 33 degrees Celsius. According to the Pierre-Simon Laplace Institute in Paris, these temperatures are even higher than the average in July and August. At the same time, record high temperatures have occurred in the eastern United States. Most parts of the world are currently experiencing a heat wave of extreme intensity.

How do people relax in the heat wave?

Heat stroke and heat stress are more likely to occur because of the extreme temperature brought by the heat wave. According to the regulations of the Spanish Ministry of Health, residents should drink more water, keep cool as much as possible and exercise as little as possible. Arab weather also advises people to avoid direct and prolonged exposure to the sun and pay attention to rehydrating their bodies in time.

Obviously, this summer is coming faster and hotter than ever before. The cool swimming pool is one of the best places for people to relax in this way.

Can you cool the pool water with a heat pump?

It is well known that swimming pool heat pump is one of the most effective ways to heat swimming pool in cold months. However, as a cost-effective pool owner, you may wonder: will heat pumps cool in summer?

The answer is a resounding "yes". The pool heat pump with heating and cooling functions can heat or cool your pool on demand. This multi-functional pool heat pump has a reversing valve with a unique reverse circulation function, which allows the pool heat pump to remove cold water while returning it to the pool for cooling.

Therefore, the pool heat pump with heating and cooling functions allows you to cool the pool water in hot weather and heat it in cold weather. You will be able to maintain a comfortable water temperature throughout the year, extend your swimming season, and make full use of your swimming pool.

How do you cool the swimming pool?

It's so hot in summer that everyone is trying to cool the swimming pool. We have sorted out some practical tips, hoping to provide you with inspiration for cooling the pool.

Five tips for cooling a swimming pool in a heat wave.

1. Keep the swimming pool filtration system running at night.

Running the pool filter at night will circulate the pool water and promote evaporation, resulting in heat loss and lower water temperature.

2. Remove the pool cover.

Running the pool filter at night and taking off the pool cover will expose the water to the ambient temperature, making it easier for heat to drain from the surface.

3. Create a sunshade for your swimming pool.

You can try to add a pool awning above your pool to keep out the sun as much as possible. In this way, you can keep your swimming pool cool for a long time.

4. Add a pool cooler.

How about turning on the air conditioner for the pool water? When you have only one pool heater for heating, the pool cooler is ideal for lowering the water temperature in hot weather. You can easily cool your swimming pool at the click of a button.

5. Installation of swimming pool heat pump with heating and cooling.

The swimming pool heat pump with heating and cooling function is a fast, one-off solution to cool the swimming pool. It will maximize your investment in swimming pool equipment, especially in areas with large temperature differences between day and night. For example, in the Middle East, due to climate reasons, the solar radiation is strong and the temperature rises during the day; at night, as the atmospheric anti-radiation weakens, the temperature drops. Therefore, in such climatic conditions, in order to make full use of the swimming pool, the swimming pool heat pump with heating and cooling function has an advantage over the swimming pool heat pump with only heating function.

In addition to climatic factors beyond your control, it also depends on your need for a swimming pool. Pool heat pumps with heating and cooling functions are essential for anyone who wants to make the most of the pool season, no matter in any region or climate.

The last words

On a hot summer day, the last thing you want to do is jump into a swimming pool that feels hotter. A heated pool heater will not cool your pool, but a pool heat pump with heating and cooling functions will. When the water becomes too hot, simply switch to the cooling mode to lower the temperature to the desired level. This kind of heating and cooling pool heat pump may be exactly what you want.
