Swimming Pool Heat Pumps and Freezing Temperatures: FAQs

Swimming pools are a great way to cool off during the hot summer months, but what happens when the temperature starts to drop, and winter is right around the corner? Fear not! A high-quality heat pump from AquaComfort Solutions can help extend the pool season well into the winter months! Here are a few FAQs for swimming pool heat pumps and freezing temperatures to help guide pool owners through the frosty weather.

Will a Heat Pump Heat a Pool in Freezing Winter Weather?

Can your heat pump heat your pool in winter? Honestly, it depends on the heat pump, along with other factors such as humidity levels. AquaComfort Solutions’ heat pumps are designed to withstand cold temperatures and keep pools of all sizes warm during the winter months. In fact, our system has been tested and proven to work in temperatures as low as 40 degrees Fahrenheit, which is significantly better than the other leading pool heating options on the market. Once water hits the freezing point of 32 degrees, there’s not much any pool heater can do. But as long as the surrounding air remains above freezing and there’s enough humidity, a high-quality heat pump has a good chance at continuing to warm the water.

How Long Can a Heat Pump Extend the Pool Season?

The length of a pool season that incorporates a heat pump depends on the climate and the size of the pool. With AquaComfort Solutions, pool owners can enjoy up to two or three more months of swimming in warmer waters, closing their pools later in the fall and opening them earlier in the spring.

Will a Heat Pump Run Efficiently in Freezing Temperatures?

Our systems are designed with patented energy-saving technology that helps reduce electricity bills and saves up to 80% more energy than gas pool heaters. Plus, our smart technology offers easy-to-use controls for a user-friendly experience when it comes to setting the most comfortable swimming temperature.

Will a Heat Pump Work in Dry Winter Weather?

The more humidity, the better — especially when it comes to heating pools in lower temperatures. This is because the heat pump pulls from both the heat and the humidity in the air. However, a heat pump can still work in drier climates, too.

Do Freezing Temperatures Affect How Long a Heat Pump will Last?

Can freezing temps hurt your heat pump? Generally, no. As long as the heat pump is maintained correctly, it should last for many years. However, if pool owners notice that the system isn’t working as efficiently or is becoming less reliable, then it’s best to have a professional inspect and service the heat pump so swimmers can continue enjoying warm water as long as possible!
