Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Nirvana Heat Pump work?

A heat pump transfers heat from the air to the water in the pool. A compressor heats the Freon which circulates within the titanium coil and transmits this warmth to the water through a heat exchanger. The process is secure and economical.

Why choose this type of heating?

The monetary savings alone are substantial. Operating costs are a fraction of other types of heating. With an effectiveness of more than 500 % (COP of 5) that means the creation of clean, environmental, and secure energy to meet the demands of today’s environment.

Do I have to cover the swimming pool with a solar blanket?

A solar blanket is always recommended to maximize heat conservation during cooler nights.

What will it cost me to operate a Nirvana heat pump for a summer?

To maintain the heat of a 14' x 28' swimming pool at 80 ° F from May till September with a Nirvana heat pump, the cost would be approximately $345 versus $2862 for propane, $2178 for oil, $1995 for natural gas, and $2163 for electricity.

Up to what temperature is the Nirvana heat pump considered efficient?

The Nirvana heat pump will maintain its level of effectiveness up to 7 degrees C (45° F). Below this temperature, it will operate but with decreased efficiency.

Is the heat pump always on?

The Nirvana heat pump is operated by a temperature control system that maintains the water temperature at the selected temperature.

How long does it take to heat the pool?

That depends on the size of the pool and the initial temperature of the water. But once the right temperature has been reached, the Nirvana pump will only operate when necessary.
