Make the most of an existing heat source
Connect pool comfort with the home heating system
Do you have a heat source that can also be used for the pool? A pool heat exchanger transfers heat from the heating system to the pool water via separate circuits. At Pooltime, you will find options for geothermal and district heating, among others. With the right sizing and material selection, you can create a heating solution that suits both the pool and the property.

Start with the heat source
Choose according to the temperatures and capacity that the heating system can actually deliver.
Match the water environment
Compare materials and check suitability for example salt water.
Plan the complete solution
Let the heat exchanger, flow rates, control, and installation work together from the very beginning.
Geothermal and district heating create different conditions
A heat exchanger does not produce the heat itself. It needs a connected heat source with sufficient capacity. Supply temperature and water flow affect how much heat can be transferred to the pool. That is why it is important to compare models based on the temperatures applicable in your specific system.
A high kW figure in the product name is not a promise of the same output in all installations. The actual performance depends on the operating conditions. Review the heat source specifications and the pool's needs together with the installer before deciding on a model.
Four questions that make the choice clearer
- Which heat source will be used? Start with, for example, geothermal or district heating and the system's technical conditions.
- How do you want to swim? Pool volume, desired temperature, cover, and swimming season affect the heating demand.
- Which water environment applies? Check the material's permitted salinity and water values.
- How should the installation be controlled? Plan flow rates, regulation, and how the pool heating will work together with the property's other heating needs.
Compare stainless steel and titanium at Pooltime
Our range includes, among other things, Pahlén Hi-Flow for district heating and Maxi-Flo for geothermal heating, as well as models in stainless steel and titanium. Which material is suitable depends on the model's specifications and the pool's water environment. For a saltwater pool, it is especially important to check the material requirements and the manufacturer's limit values.
See the heat exchanger as part of a larger solution. Connections, circulation, and control need to work together for you to benefit from the investment. Also compare the pool's covering with a pool enclosure when planning the heating, since reduced heat loss affects the overall heating demand.
Common questions before your purchase
Is a pool heat exchanger the same as a pool heat pump?
No. The heat exchanger transfers heat from a separate heat source. A pool heat pump uses its own heat pump process to transfer heat from the outdoor air to the water.
Can I connect the pool to existing geothermal heating?
This needs to be assessed based on the heating system's capacity and the design of the installation. Let the installer check the conditions and size the solution.
Does a stated 60 kW heat exchanger always provide 60 kW?
No. The output depends on temperatures and flow rates in the two circuits. Compare the product's specified operating conditions with your system.
