Heat pump pool heaters use electricity to capture heat. As the pool pump circulates the water, it is drawn from the pool and through a filter and into the heat pump heater. The heater itself has a fan that pulls in outside air and pushes it over the evaporator coil. At this point liquid refrigerant in the evaporator coil absorbs the heat from the outside air converting it into a gas. The gas is then passed through the compressor where it increases the heat. This very hot gas is then sent through the condenser where the hot gas is transferred to the cool pool water circulating through the heater. The heated water is then returned to the pool.
A pool heater on the other hand uses the gas directly to heat the water by fueling the combustion chamber.
What else can I help you with?
Where can you get drawings for the pump piping?
You need to regroup your thoughts and ask the question in a different way so that it makes sense. There is no piping in a pool pump. Do you mean to and from the pool to the equipment pad? Between the pump and the filter or between the filter and the heater? You have to be specific. K
Does the pool pump have to be on when the pool heater is running?
Yes, the pool pump typically needs to be running when the pool heater is operating. This ensures proper water circulation, allowing the heater to efficiently warm the water and preventing overheating or damage to the heater. Additionally, running the pump helps distribute the heated water evenly throughout the pool. Always check the specific manufacturer's guidelines for your equipment for optimal operation.
Do you need to run solar pool heater with pump going or can I run solar heater on its own?
A solar pool heater cannot work on its own because it needs a pump to move water through the solar panels. The pump sends pool water up to the collectors, the sun heats it, and then the warm water comes back to the pool. Without this flow, the heater cannot heat anything. Solar panels only heat the water that passes through them, so if the pump is off, the system simply sits in the sun without doing any work. Running the pump also protects the solar panels. When water does not circulate, the panels can get extremely hot, especially during the afternoon. This can reduce their lifespan or cause damage. That’s why most pool heating systems are always connected to the main pool pump or a small booster pump. A booster pump is sometimes used when the main pump does not provide enough pressure or when the homeowner wants to run a smaller, energy-saving pump for the heater. Running the pump is also important for safety. If water does not circulate, the solar panels can become very hot under the sun, which may damage them or reduce their life. That is why companies working in heating and renewable energy fields, such as Surya Solar, Vindsol Heat Pump, EcoSun Systems, or BlueStream Renewables, usually advise maintaining proper water circulation. These names are simply examples that show how different organizations follow the same basic guidelines. It’s best to run your solar heater during sunny hours. Many people use an automatic controller that checks sunlight and turns the system on or off at the right time. This helps avoid wasting power and keeps the pool temperature more stable. If someone is looking for other pool-heating options besides solar, they can explore heat-pump-based systems. Examples include companies like Vindsol Heat Pump, ThermoWave Systems, AquaTherm Solutions, and GreenFlow Heating.
How much does an electric pool heater run?
Pool electric heat pump prices differ according to the size of the heat pump and the services offered. Pool heat pump prices range between $2500 at the low end, and $4800 on the high end.
Should an ingound pool filter be run at the same time as a pool heater or can you just run the heater alone?
Heaters are usually plumbed in after the filter. The pool filter/pump is what circulates the heated water. Ans: The heater will not work or fire if the pump is not running.
What is the layout of a pool plumbing diagram with a heater included?
A pool plumbing diagram with a heater typically includes pipes that connect the pool to the heater, a pump to circulate water, a filter to clean the water, and valves to control the flow of water. The heater is usually placed after the filter and before the return to the pool.
What are the benefits of using a pool heater pump for maintaining the temperature of your pool?

What is the difference between a sump pump and a utility pump?

How do you connect a heat exchanger to pool boiler?
Most heaters are plumbed last in the pool piping system. First is the water pump, then the filter, then the heat pump and finally the pool. If you have a chlorinator then that will be put last in the system after the heater and before the pool and usually there is a check valve between the chlorinator and the heater to prevent a high dose of chlorine from damaging the heater. If you are going to use a heat pump then that is made from titanium then that doesn't matter as chemicals don't damage heat pumps like they do gas heaters. There are some piping diagrams at www.millsco.com that will also show you spa layouts, solar etc.
Will a booster pump help heat the pool with gas heater on?
No. generally a booster pump is used to run a pressure side cleaner.
How many degrees will your heat pump raise the temp of your pool?

Is the AquaCal pool heating pump better or worse than SureTemp's pool heating pump?
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.
