It'll start immediately, but to due to the large volume of water it will be awhile before you sense it.
48 degrees
Usually a backup heating unit. For instance in a heat pump when the temperature drops below the temperature where the heat pump cannot extract heat from the existing air electric heating elements kick in.
I am no heat pump expert, but whatever you do, DO NOT buy a suretemp pool heating pump, as they stop working under 65 degrees. Their web site and literature state 45 degrees, but that is not the truth. I have called them about my new pool heater and they say there is nothing they can do.
Usually, you will notice diminished heating capacity from your system, and the out side temperature is dropping below the average temperature your heat-pump operates at. This is the time to activate your emergency heat.
A heat pump is a heating system that applies the principle of refrigeraation to heating homes. These principles are: 1. when a gas is quickly compressed, it's temperature rises; 2. when a gas is allowed to expand suddenly it's temperature fallls; 3. when a liquid evaporates, it absorbs heat; and 4. when a gas condenses it releases heat.
The purpose of a swimming pool heat pump is to rise the temperature of the water. The pool then can be used for swimming even on days when the weather is not perfect. The swimming pool season is extended.
solar heating for pools is very efficient, it heats the pool with a natural resource that comes to us for free, and the only bill you will get is for the pump to circulate the water, but the pump is already going as it cleans the pool anyways.
The heat pump heating method is much more efficient than the electric resistance heating method. It takes only 1 kilowatt of electricity to heat 1000L of water from an initial temperature of 20 degrees C to 60 degrees C, whereas the electric resistance heating method would take 4 kilowatts of electricity to achieve the same result. This makes the heat pump heating method much more cost-effective in the long run, as well as being more environmentally friendly.
what controls the heat pump to determine whether it is in the heating cycle or cooling cycle
Hi there, This depends on how often you use the pool. If you are in it every day then maintaining the temperature is best but if you only hop in on the weekend then heating the pool as required will be best. This is assuming you use a gas heater or heat pump of course - a solar system will just run constantly. Using a pool cover will help enormously. Most heat loss is due to evaporation and a pool cover can cut this loss right back. In fact, using a pool cover will drop the cost of maintaining pool temperature by about 70-80%. Hope this helps.

A geothermal heat pump and a traditional heat pump are different. A geothermal heat pump uses the earth's temperature for heating and cooling while a traditional heat pump uses the outside air or water. Geothermal heat pumps are more energy-efficient and eco-friendly. If you're looking for heat pump installation in Castle Rock, Colorado, contact Colorado Bear Heating & Air at (720) 402-4242.
