How does a pool heat pump work?
A swimming pool heat pump functions much like an air conditioner, but in reverse. It draws in warm air from the atmosphere, compresses it to increase the temperature, and then transfers that heat into your pool water. This process uses significantly less electricity than a traditional electric heater and produces steady, reliable heating, even during the cooler months in Cape Town.

Our pool heat pump systems are perfect for:
- Residential swimming pools (new or existing).
