Why a heat pump
A swimming pool heat pump uses a compressor and refrigerant to transfer heat from the surrounding air into your pool water. It is one of the most energy-efficient ways to heat a pool — and the difference in comfort is immediate.
Set the temperature you enjoy and keep the pool usable long after the summer holidays end.
A heat pump moves existing heat from the air into your water instead of generating it from scratch.
Inverter units run at lower speeds for gentler, quieter operation through the day.
Correctly sized and installed units cope with South African summers, winters and pool loads.

Questions

Capacity depends on your pool volume, how much sun and wind it gets, whether you use a cover, and the temperature you want to swim at. As a starting point, use our pool size calculator above — then we confirm the exact model on your free quotation.
Running cost comes down to the capacity of the unit, your target temperature, the ambient air temperature and heat loss. A correctly sized heat pump with a pool cover running at a sensible setpoint is far more economical than an oversized unit running flat out.
Yes — a heat pump transfers heat from the surrounding air, so it keeps working in cooler weather with reduced output. That is exactly why we size for the season you want to swim in, not only for midsummer.
We strongly recommend one. Most heat loss happens at the water surface, so a cover keeps the heat you have paid for in the pool and shortens the run time of the heat pump.
We recommend an annual service at minimum, and more often for pools in coastal or dusty environments. A clean coil, clear airflow and healthy electrical connections keep efficiency where it should be.
In most cases, yes. We diagnose the fault first — electrical, refrigerant, water flow or control — and give you an honest view on whether a repair or a replacement makes more financial sense.
