Eco Swimming Pool Heat Pumps are manufactured in the same factory and to the same high specification as the Hydropro and Duratech Swimming Pool Heat Pump. The difference being that the ECO Heat Pump has manual controls while heat pumps such as Hydropro, Duratech and DPL have digital controls. For this minor difference in design the difference in price for the ECO swimming pool heat pump is quite dramatic and we would always recommend the ECO swimming pool heat pump as your first choice when looking for a heat pump.
Eco Swimming Pool Heat Pumps are a very cost effective way of heating your swimming pool. As the cost of electricity has risen this type of heater has now become the most popular form of swimming pool heating in the UK.
On Mainland Europe Heat Pumps have long been used to heat Swimming Pools and the Eco Range of Swimming Pool Heat Pumps are manufactured by a Belgium company that have long been a market leader in the Swimming Pool Industry.
The Eco Heat Pumps are an extremely efficient form of heating for your swimming pool with a Coefficient Of Performance (C.O.P.) of up to 4.7, which means for every £1 it costs to run you get up to £4.70 of heat transferred to the pool. Every 1kw of electricity costs on average of 14p per hour which means that running an Elecro 7.5kw Electric Heater will cost £1.05 per hour to run. Running this heater for 8 hours per day will cost £8.40 per day to run. By running a Heat Pump you can reduce these running costs by up to 80%, which means an hourly running cost of only 18p. That equates to a saving of £5.76 per day or £170 per month. Over a 5-month period you could save £850.
7.5kw Electric Heater Costs £216 Per Month To Run
8kw ECO Heat Pump Costs £28.80 Per Month To Run
ECO Heat Pump Can Save You £850 Per Year
- High Coefficient Of Performance Up To 4.8
- Extremely Compact Unit

Our Opinion
The main advantages of a heat pump are the long term savings, these will only increase as the price of electricity increases. The capital outlay is higher than an electric heater but these should be recouped within one to two years. Other forms of heating a pool such as electric and gas are quicker and less dependent upon the weather but in general a heat pump if correctly spec'd and installed will be the best choice for most pool owners.
