The Perfect Electric Pool Heater For Your Pool

Absolutely! This is what makes the Paradise range of electric swimming pool heaters so versatile. Using the same ultra-efficient technology, it can either heat your pool to a warm 40°C or chill it down to a refreshing 8°C. You can switch between modes with a single tap in the smart app, and it will reach your desired temperature within 24-48 hours, turning your pool into the perfect escape, whatever the weather.

Think of it like a reversible air conditioner for your pool. It doesn't create heat; it captures existing heat from the ambient air, compresses it to a higher temperature, and then transfers that heat to your pool water. To chill, it simply reverses the process, drawing heat out of the water. This process is incredibly efficient, which is why running costs for our pump pool heaters are so low.

The initial heat-up or cool-down time can take 24-72 hours, depending on the pool size, starting water temperature, and weather. However, once your pool reaches the desired temperature, our inverter heat pump heaters are designed to maintain it efficiently with minimal energy use.

While the plumbing can often be handled by a confident DIYer, the electrical connection for your electric heater swimming pool must be completed by a licensed electrician to ensure safety and compliance. For models 18kW and above, we strongly recommend an electrical line check before purchase. We have a list of preferred installers if you need a hand.

Heat pumps are very low maintenance. The main task is to keep the evaporator coil clean and ensure there's clear airflow around the unit. Simply hose it down every few months to remove any leaves or debris. That's it!

"kW" stands for kilowatt, which is a measure of power. The Heating/Cooling Capacity (kW) tells you how much heat the unit can produce or remove. A higher kW rating means the pool heater is more powerful and can change your pool's temperature more quickly or handle a larger volume of water. The Power Input (kW) tells you how much electricity the unit consumes to do its job. The goal is to get the most capacity for the least power input.

COP is the most important measure of a heat pump pool heater's efficiency. It's the ratio of heat output to power input. For example, a COP of 16 means that for every 1kW of electricity the heat pump consumes, it generates 16kW of heat for your pool. This is why heat pumps are so cheap to run—they don't create heat, they just move it. The higher the COP, the more energy-efficient the electric pool heater is, and the lower your running costs will be.

"dB(A)" stands for A-weighted decibels, which is a standard way to measure how the human ear perceives loudness. Our Paradise heat pumps running in their quietest mode (around 40-45 dB(A)) are incredibly quiet. For comparison, a library is about 40 dB(A), a quiet conversation is 50-60 dB(A), and a vacuum cleaner is around 70 dB(A). You'll barely notice your pool heat pump is running.

R32 is the refrigerant used inside the heat pump heater to absorb and transfer heat. It's the modern standard for air conditioners and heat pumps because it's much more environmentally friendly than older refrigerants like R410A. It has a lower Global Warming Potential (GWP) and is more efficient, which helps reduce both your carbon footprint and your electricity bill.
