Pool Covers and Rollers

Pool heat pumps are more affordable than other heating options, but you can expect a rise in your energy bills. To keep these costs down, pair your heat pump with a thermal pool cover. This combination helps your pool retain heat more effectively, reducing the strain on your pump and making it easier to maintain your desired temperature every day.

Discover how much you can save by using a pool cover with your heat pump! Below, you'll find a chart comparing the average annual running costs of various pool heaters—and how much of an impact a pool cover can have. As shown, an electric heat pump, whether paired with a cover or not, offers the best value. For a deeper dive into how other pool heaters measure up, check out our article on pool heating.

Please note: These pricing recommendations are a guide only. The heater sizes and operation costs recommendations are based on average or usual weather, soil and shade conditions. Temperature loss and heat up time will vary according to the month of the year, quality of cover if installed, soil condition, shade, wind and weather conditions. 

Who says you need to give up swimming during winter or even in a cool climate? A high-quality heat pump can keep your pool comfortable all year round – with minimal expense or fuss. But to get the most out of your heat pump, you need to get the size right. If it’s too big, you could waste your money. If it’s too small, you could overwork the unit and increase your running costs. 

Luckily, finding the right size is easy when you conduct a thermal audit. This includes measuring your pool size, location, climate, preferred temperature and frequency of use. Once you’ve got these figures, you can use our simple formula or heat pump calculator to find the right heat pump size for your pool. Or if you’re short on time, contact a pool technician for expert advice. Once your new pump has been installed, remember to follow our heat pump maintenance tips and use a thermal pool cover to minimise heat loss.
