Pool Water Heating

There are two methods or options available with DRY-AIR Dehumidifiers for heating your pool.

(1) 100% POOL HEATING: Generally, when you use this feature, we recommend that you use a pool cover. Without a cover a great deal of heat is lost with the evaporation (moisture) of the pool to the air.

This 100% heating option utilizes compressor run time, therefore if the room is not calling for dehumidification or cooling, the compressors MUST start to provide the 100% Pool Heating Option. In the long run, this shortens the lifespan of the compressors within these units.

Secondly, although the pool company may recommend you filter the pool for 8-10 hours; this option requires you to run the filtering system longer.

(2) POOL HEAT RECLAIM OPTION: This option is automatic – when the unit is running in the dehumidification mode or cooling mode, the excess heat we remove from the room, and the excess compressor heat are directed back to the pool to help keep it up to temperature. This does not require the compressors to start, the system is already running. You will need a pool heater with this option.

Note: That when using the 100% Pool Heating Option, if the unit goes down for any reason or service/maintenance, then you will not have pool heating. We recommend using the Reclaim Option, unless this is- a DRY-AIR Geothermal system.
