What size heat pump do I need for my pool?

The size depends on your pool volume, whether you use a pool cover, shade, wind exposure and above-ground construction. As a guide: pools up to 30,000L suit a 10-13kW unit; up to 40,000L a 13kW; up to 50,000L a 17kW; up to 60,000L a 21kW; up to 80,000L a 28kW; up to 100,000L a 35kW. Without a pool cover, we generally upsize by two sizes to offset overnight heat loss. Contact our Brisbane or Gold Coast team for a tailored assessment.

How much does it cost to run a pool heat pump?

Running costs depend on pool size, usage frequency, and whether you use a pool cover. Without a cover, costs can exceed $2,000 per year. With a pool cover, the average Brisbane or Gold Coast family pool typically costs $400-$800 per year. Our inverter heat pumps have a COP of up to 15.4 - almost triple that of a standard heat pump - making them significantly cheaper to run.

How long does it take to heat a pool with a heat pump?

In cooler months, we recommend running the heat pump for 48-72 hours initially to bring the water up to your desired temperature. After that, 8-10 hours per day will maintain it. Using a pool cover overnight makes a significant difference to heating speed and efficiency.

Can I run a pool heat pump from my rooftop solar panels?

Yes. We set the heat pump on timers so it runs during daylight hours when your solar panels are generating electricity. This can dramatically reduce running costs and is a popular setup for customers across Brisbane and the Gold Coast who already have solar installed.

What are the benefits of a pool heat pump over gas heating?

Heat pumps extract warmth from the surrounding air rather than generating heat, delivering up to 15.4 units of energy for every 1 unit of electricity used (COP 15.4). Compared to gas, they offer lower long-term running costs, quieter operation, year-round reliability and no gas supply required. They are the most energy-efficient way to heat a pool in Queensland.

Do I need special electrical provisions for a pool heat pump?

If you do not have existing pool heating provisions, we integrate the heat pump with your filtration system so water flows through the filter, then the heat pump, then the chlorinator and back to the pool. If you want the heat pump to run on its own independent timers, a link device can be added. We handle full installation across Brisbane, Gold Coast and surrounding areas.

How long does a pool heat pump last?

With proper maintenance and correct water chemistry, pool heat pumps typically last 10-15 years. Our units are built with Mitsubishi components and independently tested by TUV Rheinland for energy efficiency and durability.

Do you install pool heat pumps in Brisbane and the Gold Coast?

Yes. That Pool Heating Company supplies and installs pool heat pumps across Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Ipswich, Toowoomba, the Sunshine Coast and Tweed Heads. We specialise in residential and commercial installations and offer a free quote.

Cost & Benefits Of A Pool Heater

Typically in this area, usage from a pool that is unheated would sit around 4.5-5.5 months, with a properly fitted solar pool heating system this would be around 8-10 months. Use of a pool cover can extend this season further.

We’re experienced in providing solar heating for pools in Tweed Heads, solar heating for pools in Toowoomba and many other hot spots across Queensland.

The initial set up costs and installation depend on the size and set up of your pool, but prices start at around $2500. Unlike other pool heating systems, solar pays for itself in a few years, the running costs are minimal so you don’t need to worry about excessive energy bills.

Solar Pool Heating Prices are worked out on on your pool surface area. We recommend 100% coverage. This means if your pool is 6m x 4m, we would advise 24m2 of solar pool heating is installed. For an exact quote please get in touch.

There are two types of solar pool heating systems available from The Pool Heating Company. Both options are easily fitted to any shaped roof, and good for smaller roofs to maximise coverage. Ultimately the biggest influence to your pool temperature is the exposure to the sun. We get our Solar Pool Heating Products from Supreme Heating. They are industry experts in manufacturing.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nic and Dee offer exceptional service. They came out to service my Madimack Pool heater, found a fault, sorted the part under warranty and we’re back within a week to repair it. Reasonable price and very helpful. They are now my chosen pool heater parts and service providers.

Their quote to replace my solar pool  heating system was very competitive.  The installation quality was perfect and the back up service I got after the install was second to none.  I can highly recommend Nick and Dee to anyone looking to add or upgrade their pool heating equipment.  Mick - Toowoomba

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic service from start to finish. I recently moved into a house which had solar heating for the pool. I had it serviced by Noah from That Pool Heating a company and was made aware the system was old and what to watch out for should the system fail. Noah was professional, helpful and friendly. I enquired about an upgrade and Dee is so efficient, quick and helpful…every company needs a Dee! I received a quote and when I decided to proceed it was booked in quickly. Sam installed my new system. Sam was also super helpful, professional and friendly. The system definitely makes a huge difference compared to my old system. An absolutely brilliant company with great staff and a great product…I highly recommend their services.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would have liked somewhat better comms during quote and upto installation, but Sam, things worked out fine and on the day, did a seamless, installation with attention to details. The products supplied are quality as well. Pool is now finally frequented by the kids. Thank you Dee and Sam.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. That Pool Heating Company have just installed a solar heating system to my newly constructed pool and I could not be happier.  I used this company a few years ago for a solar system at my previous home and after such a great experience back then, I had no hesitation in using them again. I’m happy to say that the experience this time around was still top notch. Dee is a pleasure to deal with, and the installer was skilled, polite and professional. The solar technology has progressed much further than my last system – it’s only been a couple of weeks since the end of winter and we’re already swimming in our balmy warm pool! If you want to deal with a company that has integrity and still understands the importance of providing a very high level of customer service, then look no further. I highly recommend That Pool Heating Company.

Usage Comparisons With Vs Without Solar Pool Heating

There are a range of solar pool heating options and products on the market. The basic principles are generally the same, the system operates by taking water from the pool, circulating it through the collector on your roof, using the sun’s energy to heat, and then returned to the pool.

A digital controller is set to your desired temperature and the system automatically comes on and off sure the hours the sun is on the collector. It is important that a solar heating system is the right size and not too small to ensure maximum heating efficiency.

Pool Heating Warranty
