Hi,
I have my lovely pool and all is good for now apart from water temp; I live in London - UK and I knew I have to add some good heating but needed more time for research.
I have 2 Heat Pumps in mind ( DreamHeat 10kW & Sun Spring 10kW ) but cannot decide which one to buy!!! both are similar in price and pretty much same specs; both are fit for my pool and can be plugged into normal UK 3pin socket @13Amp; I know that 14kW ones are better for my pool size but I would like to use my current Outdoor sockets. I will only use pool May - September.
I can accommodate both fan types ( side or top ) so that is not an issue but I would prefer a quiet one; on paper Dream says 48dB and Sun Spring 57dB but from experience I would take these measurements with a pinch of salt as measurements differ from manufacturer to manufacturer ( e.g. some measure dB @2m or @4m from device and some do next to device; the Nano one shows dB at multiple distances ).
I would like to find out from people which have these and give their honest opinion; maybe I would be lucky enough to find someone which had both over a period of time and replaced one or the other because of issues...etc.
Maybe a video of the Heat Pump running? any help would be much appreciated; as you know the cost of such device is pretty steep so I would like to make the best decission.
Also, does anyone uses the Filter Pump & Heat Pump with Smart Plugs? It would be much easier to control the ON/OFF with Home Automation; I know that usually electronic devices do not like to have their power cut off , it is preferred to use the On/Off button but would be good is anyone is using smart plugs.
