High Efficiency Swimming Pool Heat Pumps
The efficiency which is talked about in relation to pool heat pumps is also called Coefficient Of Performance or COP. This gives a relation between the amount of energy used to the amount of energy produced. a common electric immersion heater (such as in a kettle) is around 90% efficient so would have a COP close to 1 but heat pumps can be rated with a COP of 5 which means an efficiency of 500%. This is because heat pump don't actually create heat (like an immersion heater does) they just move it from one place to another. This is something the planned purchaser must know about on the grounds that heat pump have a downside. Electric heat pumps take heat from the air and move it to the pool water so as the air temperature drops so does their productivity. Indeed, when the air temperature hits around the 45 degrees F mark, they quit working and can even hold up! When contrasting various brands for proficiency it is imperative to ensure the COP is determined under sim
