Posted by Madimack on April 7th, 2021

Many property owners today are keen to install heat pumps for pools so that they can gain benefit from their pool all year-round. However, finding the right heat pump for the residential pool is a daunting task. There are different criteria that you need to consider to make sure you end up with the best swimming pool heating system - energy efficient, sleek, solar-compatible, robust, optimal heating performance.

Here, we are making this job a bit easy for you by bringing you the list of factors that will help you find the best pool heat pumps in Australia:

1. Energy-efficiency - what is the coefficient of performance of a pool heat pump?

For sure, you would be looking for the most efficient pool heating system that can help you save on your energy bills. Thus, while looking for heat pumps for pools, it is important to check the coefficient of performance of the pool heating devices.

But, what is the coefficient of performance?

The coefficient of performance is the relationship between the power (kW) that is drawn out of the pool heating device for cooling/heating the pool vs the power that is supplied to the compressor.

For example, a given heat pump for a pool heating has a C.O.P of 5, this means 5KW of heating power is achieved for each kW of power consumed.

Madimack provides you with the best pool heat pumps in Australia that are extremely efficient with an average C.O.P of 8 and 10. In addition to this, all our residential pool heating devices are fully compatible with renewable energy production devices including Solar PV.

2. Heating Performance - Is your heat pump able to offer you optimal heating?

The ultimate goal that you want to achieve through heat pumps for pools is optimal heating and cooling. But, how would you find if your pool heat pump can deliver optimal heating performance and is not taking much time to heat the entire pool? Consider checking the reviews of your pool heat pump solution provider before making a decision. You can also enquire the provider about the heating performance of the pool heater that you are planning to purchase.

At Madimack, all our heat pumps for pools are designed using the latest inverter technology and undergo rigorous testing, thus offering guaranteed heating performance to our clients. Moreover, we offer a 25-year warranty on the titanium heat exchanger model.

3. Noise - Is your heat pump too loud while operating?

Do you have a noise restriction in your neighbourhood? Do you want your pool area to be peaceful, quiet and relaxing? Then, you must consider noise while purchasing heat pumps for pools. Pool heaters often produce noise and this noise increases as the pool heater gets older.

Madimack’s Elite Silent Inverter pool heat pump series is a perfect option for you if you are looking for a heat pump device that is quiet in operation. Elite Silent is the most efficient pool heating system that runs quieter than other pool heaters in the market owing to its patented back discharge design.

Apart from the above-mentioned factors, it is also important to consider the design of the heat pump unit as well as the smart control options it is offering.
