A pool heat pump warms your pool by drawing heat from the surrounding air and transferring it into the water, like a reverse air conditioner. It’s ideally suited to Adelaide’s mild climate, runs far cheaper than gas or electric heating thanks to a COP of 4–5 (it produces 4–5 units of heat per unit of electricity), and can be used year-round. Installation must be done by a licensed technician, and most existing pools can be retrofitted. What Exactly Is a Heat Pump, and How Doe

A pool heat pump should be professionally serviced once a year, ideally just before the swimming season, and more often for pools near the coast, where salt air accelerates wear. Regular servicing (cleaning coils and filters, checking refrigerant and electrical connections, and calibrating controls) keeps the unit running at peak efficiency, protects its 10+ year lifespan, and stops running costs creeping up. In Adelaide’s salty, dusty conditions, annual maintenance is the ch

The six most common pool heating mistakes Adelaide homeowners make are: Undersizing the heat pump. Poor placement that blocks airflow. Choosing the wrong system for how they swim. Expecting instant heat. Skipping regular maintenance, and Ignoring running costs. Most come down to buying on price alone or guessing the size. The fix is a properly sized, well-placed, well-maintained system; paired with a pool blanket to keep costs down. When considering heat pumps for Adelaide, S

Solar pool heating is the cheapest pool heating to run in Adelaide. After the upfront install, your main ongoing cost is simply pumping water through the rooftop collectors: there’s no fuel and very little maintenance. With Adelaide’s long sunny days it can add months to your swim season for next to nothing, and it produces zero emissions. The trade-off is that output follows the weather, so it heats best through the warmer two-thirds of the year; for guaranteed warmth on clo
