Swimming pool heat pumps are the most popular way to heat a pool in Florida. A swimming pool heat pump will deliver the same amount of heat as a gas heater for 1/5th the cost. Fort Myers’ climate is perfect for using a heat pump due to our mild winter temperatures and high humidity.
The FL Green Team specializes in high efficiency Aquatherm swimming pool heat pumps. Using a “pool heating audit” we can show you the cost to heat your pool with a swimming pool heat pump under varying conditions. Examples of variables include desired pool temperature or use of a pool blanket. We have over 9,000 Aquatherm heat pump customers in southwest Florida. Aquatherm heat pumps are produced by Calorex USA, located in Ft. Myers, Florida. Calorex was the pioneer in manufacturing pool heaters using heat pump technology.

All swimming pool heat pump manufacturers recommend servicing the unit at least once per year. The FL Green Team offers planned maintenance agreements which include an 18 point check and cleaning of your swimming pool heat pump. The annual maintenance agreement includes a 10% discount on both labor and parts if your heat pump needs service outside of your scheduled maintenance.
The Aquatherm heat pump utilizes proven refrigerant technology to capture the heat in the outside air and transfer it to your pool water. Refrigerant is used because of its ability to absorb and transfer heat energy. The fan circulates air through the evaporator coil that acts as a heat collector. The liquid refrigerant in the air coil absorbs the available heat in the ambient air, transforming it into a warm gas. The refrigerant gas is then pumped into the compressor. When this warm gas is compressed, it intensifies or concentrates the heat, like a magnifying glass in the sun. The intensely hot gas is then pumped into the heat exchanger/condenser, where the actual heat transfer takes place. As the pool water passes through the heat exchanger, the hot gas gives up its heat to the cooler pool water. The refrigerant returns to a liquid state and is pumped through the expansion valve then into the evaporator air coil to start the process over again. The result: A warm pool!
