Using water and the earth as a heat source and heat sink is well-known science. Our pool geothermal systems use your pool and the earth below it as a heat source in the winter and as a heat sink in the summer.
In the winter, the system pulls the heat out of the pull and into your home. Because heat flows from hot to cold, if the ground is warmer than the pool, heat will flow back into the pool to be used by the heat pump.
In the summer, the heat pump takes the heat out of your home and puts it into your pool. If the pools is hotter than the ground, then the heat will move into the ground. It will also be released as the pool water evaporates.
However, in the summer, it’s common that the pool cannot release its heat fast enough. The result is a hot pool, sometimes too uncomfortable for swimming. Design Mechanical’s specialized cooling tower solves the pool overheating problem by rejecting the heat itself. The pool stays cool and so does your home, with the cooling tower doing the hard work of keeping everything cool.
You can set your pool temperatures to where you want it and the cooling tower will keep it there.
Heat pumps are typically 3X more efficient than electric heat in the winter. Our cooling towers make the system extremely efficient in the summer. The end result is less money spent on energy for a more comfortable home.
