Air-Source Heat Pumps.

Generate substantial savings in the costs of heating your Hot Tub or Swimming Pool.

Investing in an air-source heat pump for your Hot Tub or Swimming Pool.

With the unprecedented rise of energy prices in the UK, many people are looking at alternative ways to lower their energy consumption in their holiday letting properties. In the Summer of 2022, Elite Hot Tub & Swimming Pool Maintenance worked closely with one of the biggest Hot Tub suppliers in the UK trialing air-source heat pumps as an alternative way to heat and maintain hot tub and pool temperatures and we have learned a lot about the many benefits you can gain from investing in this innovative technology.

How it works

  • The heat pump collects heat from the air making it usable for heating your hot tub or swimming pool.

  • Environmental heat is conducted through the inverter where anti-freeze liquid is passed over it.

  • The liquid is always lower than the incoming air temperature allowing the system to draw heat energy from it.

  • The heat gained is transferred to a refrigerant, a liquid that vaporises even at low temperatures.

  • The refrigerant absorbs the heat, boils and vaporises the liquid which is passed into a compressor which compresses this producing steam, in turn raising the temperature.

  • The refrigerant passes the heat to the heating system where it is used to heat the water flowing through the unit.

The Benefits

  • On average these pumps can save customers up to 60% of energy costs associated with heating Hot Tub & Swimming Pools.

  • Up to 8x Increased Heat-up speeds.

  • Year-round savings

  • Return on Investment within the first 12 months.

  • Shrinks your carbon footprint with this renewable energy system.

Energy Saving Upgrade

  • On the lower end of the price range an Air-Source Heat Pump will only work in temperatures above 10 degrees C and so in the winter months will provide little to no benefit and may even cost more to run.

    The Elite Energy Saving Upgrade Air-Source Heat Pump will function even in subzero temperatures to ensure year round savings for our customers.

  • Many of the pumps on the market require an entirely separate circulation pump for the heating system, meaning most tubs with a single 2-speed pump may struggle to get the benefit.

    With the Elite Energy Saving Upgrade we can plumb the system directly into your existing plant and will work seamlessly.

  • We offer a bespoke service thats created to get the very best savings for your hot tub or swimming pool. Many suppliers claim that one size pump will fit all but unfortunately that is not the case.

    With the Elite Energy Saving Upgrade we match your hot tub to it’s ideal heat pump which will offer the best long term investment for you.

  • The Air Source Heat Pumps that we install for customers are made by reputable and well known Hot Tub & Swimming Pool manufacturers for the best integration, warranty and support.
