Heat Exchangers

How does a heat exchanger work?

A heat exchanger is able to transfer heat from an external heat source to the pool water. Pool heat exchangers are therefore a cost-effective way to heat the water in a pool. They can also help extend the swimming season. This is because a heat exchanger has the advantage that you are not dependent on the sun to heat your pool. This therefore allows you to enjoy a heated pool even in the colder months.

What should you look for when buying a heat exchanger?

When choosing the right heat exchanger for your pool, it is important to consider several things.

• The size of the pool and the heat source are things to consider. A heat exchanger with too large a capacity will waste a lot of energy, while one that is too small cannot supply enough heat.
• In addition, you should also choose a heat exchanger that is resistant to chlorine and other chemicals present in pool water.

What are the benefits of a heat exchanger?

A heat exchanger has several advantages for your pool. We explain these below.

• A heat exchanger helps keep your energy costs low. This is because a heat exchanger heats the water in the pool by drawing heat from external sources. As a result, less energy is needed to heat the water.
• A heat exchanger improves pool comfort. Choosing the right heat exchanger will ensure that your pool has the desired temperature.
• A heat exchanger usually requires little maintenance. However, it is obviously important to regularly measure whether the system is working optimally.
• Heat exchangers do not take up much space because of their compact size.
• A heat exchanger is a durable product that will last for years.

What are the disadvantages of a heat exchanger?

A heat exchanger also has some disadvantages. We also explain these.

• A heat exchanger can cause leakage. This can be due to aging, wear and tear, corrosion or improper maintenance. If the heat exchanger leaks, it can cause damage to the pool, such as poor water quality and possibly even a lack of heating capacity. Therefore, it is important to perform regular maintenance on the heat exchanger to ensure that it continues to work properly.
• The purchase price of a heat exchanger is usually higher than other heat sources. However, the advantage of a heat exchanger is that you can benefit from heated water all year round.

So, even though a heat exchanger also has some disadvantages, they outweigh the many advantages. With a heat exchanger, you ensure that you can enjoy pleasant pool water all year round.
