Swimming Pool Heating & Cooling — Heat Pumps Oxygon

The heat pump has been established as the most efficient solution for pool heating and cooling, offering an extended swimming season with a low energy footprint. The Oxygon represents the Cross Inverter series and selected accompanying models covering swimming pools from 20m³ to 150m³, with reverse cycle capability (heating in winter, cooling in summer) and dehumidification in indoor swimming pools.

All solutions for pool heating and pool dehumidification. Full range of pool heat pumps, pool heat exchangers, electric pool heaters, pool dehumidifiers and pool covers.

Why a heat pump instead of another form of heating

Compared to an electric resistor or oil boiler, the pool heat pump produces 4 to 6 kW of thermal energy for every 1 kW of electrical consumption — an efficiency of 400-600%. This translates into up to 75% lower operating costs compared to an electric heater of the same power. In addition, it does not require fuel, has a small footprint outside the engine room and operates silently thanks to new generation inverter compressors.

COP and realistic operating costs

The COP (Coefficient of Performance) of a modern pool heat pump ranges from 5 to 14, depending on the ambient and water temperature. In a typical 50m³ pool with a target temperature of 28°C, the annual operating cost often does not exceed €800-1.200 for a 6-7 month season in Greece, provided that the pool is covered at night with a solar or bubble cover. The choice of inverter technology further reduces consumption by 30-40% compared to on/off models, because the compressor modifies its operation depending on the thermal demand.

Cross Inverter Series — Full Inverter, Reversible, WiFi

The Cross Inverter series is the flagship of the portfolio Oxygon for pool heat pumps. Key features: full inverter DC compressor, COP up to 14 in ideal conditions, reverse mode (heating - cooling - dehumidifying), WiFi control via mobile application, sound level 38-45 dB(A), R32 refrigerant with lower GWP than R410A, and ambient operating range from -15°C to +43°C. Available powers 9-32 kW for pools 20-150 m³. The installation is outdoor, with a minimum requirement of 60cm of free space around the unit for proper airflow.

Frequently Asked Questions — Swimming Pool Heat Pumps

General rule: 0,2-0,3 kW of thermal power per m³ of water for an outdoor pool with a cover, and 0,4-0,5 kW/m³ for a pool without a cover. For a 50m³ pool you typically need 12-15 kW. Send us the dimensions, location and use of your pool for accurate sizing.

Yes. Inverter models operate down to -15°C ambient, allowing year-round swimming in covered or covered pools. Performance is reduced at very low temperatures but heating is still possible.

Typically 2-4 days of continuous operation to bring a 50m³ pool from 15°C to 28°C, provided a cover is used. After the initial heating, the pump maintains the temperature with very little consumption.

Annual refrigerant check, cleaning of external exchanger from leaves and dust, checking electrical connections and confirming proper water flow. Oxygon has a network of certified technicians for scheduled maintenance in Thessaloniki, Athens and Romania.

Yes, and it's an ideal combination. A solar cover or bubble cover reduces nighttime heat loss by up to 70%, while photovoltaics can fully power the pump's electrical consumption, practically eliminating the operating cost of heating.
