Pool Heat Pumps


Pool heat pumps are ideal for pool owners located in warmer climates because pool heat pumps operate more efficiently in warmer climates where outside air temperatures are much warmer than normal since pool heat pumps do not generate or create heat, they are less subjected to thermal internal damage and wear than conventional gas-powered or electric pool heaters. Almost all pool heat pumps can be installed with automatic wired or wireless controllers, thereby giving a wider latitude in selecting pool heat pump heating capacities and pool heat pump installation locations. The main characteristics and benefits of pool heat pumps are their quiet operation, longer heating performance, and environmental robustness. Since all Sydney pool heat pumps have fewer moving parts than traditional pool heaters, they are less likely to break. And pool heat pumps operate more efficiently when they extract warm outside air because it increases and extracts more heat from the air by passing it through a compressor, warming up the pool water, and then delivering or pumping the heated water back into the swimming pool. Pool heat pumps are also a more efficient and environmentally-friendly way of heating swimming pool water because of its lack of dependence on non-renewable resources. 


Pool Heat pumps are typically more expensive to purchase than traditional gas-or fuel-powered swimming pool heaters. They can be more expensive to purchase initially, but the savings they bring to the pool owner due to less or no fuel expenditures are significant to offset their initial investment costs, and heat pumps may initially cost more to purchase but they save money in the long run with higher pool heating efficiencies, lower annual operating costs, and fewer maintenance bills. Pool heat pumps are also safe with children around because they do not generate heat thereby avoiding potential heat injuries, only a small electric pump and compressor draws in warm outside ambient air to heat swimming pool water to its ideal warm temperatures, through proper use and installation, money is saved because pool heat pumps are typically maintenance-free and usually last longer than conventional gas- or electric-element pool heaters. They use electricity for air pumps to draw in warm ambient outside air, and pool water is circulated into a heating pump where the pool water is filtered and warmed-up before being pumped back into the swimming pool. Since pool heat pumps require time and warm ambient temperatures at the pool area to fully warm up a pool to ideal swimming temperatures, it typically takes 12-24 hours to completely warm up a pool using ambient air pool heat pumps. 

Pool heat pumps are not the most efficient pool heating system in colder climates because the air temperatures in colder climates lack sufficient ambient air heat for a pool heat pump to work efficiently in warming swimming pool water. All pool heat pumps capture ambient heat from the air and they are the most energy-efficient pool heating equipment available for hot climates where ambient air temperatures are normally warmer than normal. Pool heat pumps are very efficient in maintaining a constant and even pool temperature in warmer climates, and all pool heat pumps work very well in warm or tropical-type climates, collecting heat from the air and converting it into warming the pool water. Energy costs and savings are considered when using pool heat pumps because there is no need to use propane or any fossil-fuels to heat the swimming pool water.

Easy Pool Cover Devices


Sydney pool rollers are among the now popular rolling pool cover devices for swimming pools. Like all covers their main function is to keep out the sun from the water and keep it   from evaporating away. The bonus function is also to keep all debris from falling into the pool.

To date, there are several Sydney pool rollers models in the market depending on how much you can afford each model. The main point is that these pool roller covers are efficient, durable and protective enough.

Here are some of the more well-known models.

Aluminium

On top of the list is the type made of aluminium. The big selling point is that it can withstand the harsh Australian UV environment.  The makers say the big plus is that it does not have any plastic components. As is known, plastic breaks down in the intense Australian climate.

The feedback from users and owners say the roller is capable of performing against the harsh climate.  It still works even if the present temperatures are higher. There is also no loss of water due to evaporation despite the heat.

Models with plastic components could fetch a cheaper price. However, it has a shorter service life span because plastic becomes brittle when exposed to ultraviolet rays of the sun. They will then fade over time, and will eventually crack.

Steel

This model is enhanced with steel, is great-looking and works very well as promised. The design is to have a built-in drop in breaking system that maintains the roller’s position when winding the pool blanket off the pool.  

The pin is slid into the mobile position when the roller has to be wheeled away from the pool. (These are available in both the stationary and the fully mobile versions.)

Also, it is fully detachable from the roller and has a heavy duty reflective cover to protect the blanket when wound up. There is its own pull cord system which you can walk to the other end of the pool and pull the cord.

Platinum

Actually, this is simply the name of the extra tall, marine-grade anodized aluminium frames used for strength and longevity. It also has a large reflective cover to protect the solar blanket when it is wound up on the roller.

The solar blanket is detachable from the roller and can be rolled out aside. The model also has an exclusive drop pin system that stops the roll from moving when in use and can locate the roller in the exact spot.

The Sydney pool rollers blanket is connected to the roller blanket clamping the system and helps it to minimize the chances of tearing the blanket.

Mobile

This model has both nylon and stainless steel rotating casters (360 degrees) for easy use. It has an anodized frame for longevity including the handle for easy winding up the blanket.

Likewise, it also has a drop pin system that stops the roller from moving during use and locates the roller in the exact spot for easy one-person action. It has either a detachable or a cord-fitting system.
