THE LOWEST OPERATING COST
OF ALL POOL & SPA HEATERS.
Using 220v electricity, based on US Dept. of Labor
Average US City fuel prices, HEAT SIPHON® will cost you:
50% LESS to operate than NATURAL GAS POOL HEATERS!
80% LESS to operate than PROPANE (LP) GAS POOL HEATERS!
75% LESS to operate than ELECTRIC RESISTANCE POOL HEATERS!
IF YOU CAN AFFORD TO OWN
A POOL....
NOW YOU CAN AFFORD TO HEAT IT TOO!!!
SINCE 1980, Heat Siphon heat pumps have
offered a 50% fuel cost savings over natural gas and a 75-80%
savings over propane pool heaters. A 3.25HP Heat Siphon heat pump will heat
a 15 x 30 uncovered pool to 85° F running about 8 hours per
day at a cost of about $2.50 per day for electricity using the
US average($.08 per Kilowatt-Hour) and if YOUR LOCAL Electric
rate is lower it will cost EVEN LESS. Adding
a solar cover to the pool during the night will cut that cost
in half.

GENERAL NOTES AND GUIDELINES ON HEAT SIPHON HEAT PUMP SIZING
Sizing depends on your pool surface area.

Heat Siphonalysis - determine size and cost of operating (opens in new window)
There are three basic sizes / models of Heat Siphon, all based
on the Compressor Horsepower: 2.25HP, 3.25HP and 5.0HP. Sizing
depends on your pool heat loss. Determining pool heat loss is a bit complex,
but some simple assumptions apply to both the higher latitudes
and the warm tropics:
Most people swim when the daily
average air temperature is over 70°F (21°C).
Most pool owners do not use a solar cover except in the coldest
months.
Most pools are kept about 10°F (5°C) above the average
air temperature.
Since pools lose about 75% of their heat due to evaporation of
the water, a pool heater should be sized based on the pool surface
area.
BASED ON THE ABOVE WE HAVE FOUND
THE FOLLOWING TRUE ABOUT 90% OF THE TIME:
The 2.25HP Heat Siphon
is limited to very small inground or normal above ground pools
A 3.25HP Heat Siphon
will heat pools between
500 sq ft (47 M sq) and 700 sq ft (65 M sq) in surface area even
with little or no solar cover use.
Larger pools between 800 sq ft (75 M sq) and 1000 sq ft (93 M sq)
will need a 5HP Heat Siphon
and a solar blanket in the coldest month and in very windy locations.
