Should I run my heat pump during the day or at night?

&#;Better&#; is subjective because if you&#;re talking about your wallet, it&#;s better to run the heat pump during the day because the heat pump can run more efficiently. This is because the heat pump converts the warmer ambient air and transfers that to your pool. As far as energy efficiency goes, you&#;d want to run it during the day.
Now, if you&#;re looking to swim in the morning, and you want it at 85 degrees in the morning, you&#;re probably going to have to run it at night.
Another thing you could do is stagger the run times during the day. If you have a timer or automated control system, you could run the pump four hours on, four hours off, and you could do that throughout the day and night. That should maintain 85 degrees.
Or, let&#;s say, you just want to run the pump during the day, you could get a solar cover. Just the traditional kind of bubble solar cover. If you&#;re not interested in lugging that off the pool every time you want to use it, you can get a liquid solar blanket. A little solar balls or solar fish. If you don&#;t want to do that, then maybe you don&#;t want a pool. Now, it still should save you money on your heat pump, electricity bills, kind of works every which way. I think we both answered that correctly for once.

If you have a swimming pool heat pump, you probably wonder how often you should be running it. This is certainly understandable because many AquaCal customers struggle with the same issue. So in order to address this subject and to help others, we explain how often you should run your heat pump in order to most benefit from it. You may be surprised!
Unlike gas heaters, heat pumps are most efficient when they are run for long periods of time and when they are run often. This is because they heat very slowly but maintain temperatures very well. If you only run your heat pump when you use your swimming pool, your heat pump will have to raise your water temperature by as much as 20°F (11°C) every time you use your swimming pool. This will cost you both time and money. Alternatively, if you regularly run your heat pump, your heat pump will only have to replace heat lost due to evaporation, rainfall, etc. Heat pumps’ low costs of operation make this option affordable and practical.
When deciding how often you want to run your heat pump, keep the following things in mind:
Ultimately, you want to enjoy your swimming pool, so you should consider your personal preferences and lifestyle when deciding how often to run your heat pump. As always, if you have any questions, thoughts, or concerns, leave a comment below, or contact us at AquaCal directly here.
