5. Heating the pool

If you are looking to heat your pool, you have the choice of two options:

• Electric Heater which is cheap to buy but expensive to run
• Heat Pump which is slightly more expensive to buy but is a lot cheap to run .

1/ Electric Heater which is cheap to buy but expensive to run and will heat your pool all year long.

You will achieve 1 Kw of heat output into the water for every 1 Kw of power used from your supply. So works out a lot more expensive to run than the Heat pump option.

Elecro Evolution Electric Pool Heater, (Must be kept Indoors or in Plant Housing)

2/ If you are looking to use a Heat Pump to keep the running cost down then you have to decide which months of the year you want to swim:

• Summer (May - Sep)
• Extended Season (Apr - Oct)
• All Year

Once you have decided this you can than look to see which heat pump is the best one for you. Now this will vary depending on the pool's location in the country as the outside air temperature is drastically different in Scotland from Cornwall's air temperatures (taking into account the worst temperatures at night and the coldest parts of the period you choose).

We can help size the correct unit for you to ensure you achieve the desired water temperature (normal temp for this pool is 28 degrees, and it should not be heated over 30 degrees as this reduces the life span of the liner).

As a rough guide for this pool we have added some options at the top of this listing for you, but here is a explanation to the season to expect from each. Please bear in mind that you can never over size a heat pump but the results of under sizing it will mean you will not have the water temperature you require for the period you want. In addition to this, if you are further up North please increase the size of your heat pump to compensate for the colder outside air temperatures.

The size of the heat pump needed will depend on the water volume of the pool, we are making the assumption that the pool will be heated to 28 degrees and will be covered with all solar cover for 20 hours a day with a single-phase power supply.

If any of these factors change please advise us as we can look at the recommendations again for you to be accurate.

6. Installation and Assembly

The pool can be assembled by most competent DIY installers, or the customer can choose to use a local carpenter or handy-man to assemble the pool.

A qualified electrician should be used to run the power supply to the pool and to make the necessary connections.

This pool requires a concrete base as per the instruction manual below.

The steels are to be set into the concrete base in the correct position to ensure the pool/water weight is supported fully.

Underlay is supplied with the pool which is laid under the liner to help protect it from damage
