Heating your shell pool: what you need to know before investing

There are several criteria to consider before purchasing a heating device . Indeed, each pool has its own specificities , which are best taken into account to avoid any inconvenience. So, choose your solution based on:

– the surface area of your pool: the larger your pool, the greater the volume of water to be heated .

– the location of the pool: the needs will not be the same depending on where your pool is located . Indeed, there are temperature differences between regions that are important to take into account when choosing your heating system.

– accessories installed on your pool: if you already have a cover (bubble cover, winter cover, bar cover), automatic shutters or a shelter , this will also influence the system to be put in place.

– your budget: although this is an essential criterion, be aware that a system that is expensive to purchase can subsequently become extremely profitable – or even more profitable than a heating system that consumes a lot of energy in the long term.

The different heating systems for your shell pool

• The heat pump

Heat pumps are the most widely used heating system among pool owners. This is because it is one of the most cost-effective, economical and environmentally friendly solutions. In fact, a heat pump is capable of restoring 2 to 5 times more energy than it consumes.

How? By capturing calories from the air using a compressor, the latter heats them then restores them directly into the pool water by thermodynamic exchange.

At Aboral, we provide you with 2 categories of heat pumps , selected especially for you, from a wide choice of brands recognized for their quality: traditional heat pumps and Inverter heat pumps , which develop a technology that smooths the consumption of the heat pump, and allows substantial savings in energy consumption.

• The heat exchanger

This is the system that allows you to heat your pool the fastest , since it directly uses the heat pump or boiler in your home. Simple to install, we recommend that you install this device when you build your home .

Although innovative, the heat exchanger can be more or less ecological depending on the heating system you have chosen for your home (electric, fuel oil, gas or heat pump).

• Solar heating

Thanks to the installation of south-facing solar panels , solar heating uses the sun's energy to heat your pool. This type of device, both ecological and efficient, allows you to increase the temperature of your pool by 5° to 10°C . It all depends on the level of sunshine! As you will have understood, this system is therefore to be favored in Mediterranean regions.
