Solar Heat Pumps

Heat pumps for your swimming pool or hot tub are an important way to keep your water at a pleasant temperature for bathing, swimming or playing games and are what actually enable you to use your pool throughout the year and even in the evening.

However the downsides of heat pumps are also obvious – and most importantly they are expensive and damaging to the environment to run. If you want to keep your pool warm you will need to use energy and that will mean that you are increasing your bills while contributing to the release of harmful greenhouse gasses into the environment that trap heat and cause our planet to get gradually hotter.
