What is a Heat Pump?
A heat pump is an energy-efficient device that transfers heat from one place to another instead of generating heat directly. While commonly used for heating homes or water, heat pumps can also heat swimming pools, providing year-round comfort.
Pool heat pumps add value by keeping water at an ideal temperature longer—no more shivering in autumn or spring!
They are popular in Australia due to their efficiency and suitability for outdoor living spaces.
How Do Pool Heat Pumps Work?
Here’s how they function to heat your pool:
- Heat Absorption: Heat pumps extract heat from the air using a refrigerant inside the evaporator coil, even on cooler days.
- Compression: The collected heat is intensified by a compressor, increasing the temperature.
- Transfer: Heat is transferred to the pool water via a heat exchanger, and warm water is pumped back into the pool.
Unlike gas or electric heaters, heat pumps are energy-efficient as they use renewable air instead of burning fuel.

How Long Do Pool Heat Pumps Last?
A well-maintained pool heat pump typically lasts 10 to 15 years or more with regular care and off-season protection.
Lifespan depends on build quality, usage frequency, and environment—coastal air may cause corrosion. Choosing top-quality products ensures better durability.
Pro Tip: Have a qualified technician inspect your heat pump regularly to extend its life.
Are Pool Heat Pumps Noisy?
Most modern heat pumps operate quietly at about 50-60 decibels, similar to normal conversation.
Older or cheaper models may be louder. Invest in quality brands and position the unit away from entertainment areas and neighbours to minimise noise.

- Cost Savings: Long-term energy savings outweigh the higher upfront cost.
- Climate Compatibility: Designed for Australia’s varied climates, ensuring reliability.
- Extended Pool Use: Allows swimming comfortably for most of the year.
- Eco-Conscious Living: Supports sustainable and environmentally friendly choices.
