According to the statistics, the global pool heat pump volume will be over USD 7.5 billion by 2025, growing at a CAGR of 5% during the forecast period. The data have shown the skyrocketed demands of the swimming pool heat pump, especially the inverter pool heat pump. With significant merits such as energy-saving, heating fast, carbon emission reduction, and so on, the inverter pool heat pump is more acceptable worldwide.
Nowadays, there are two different types of pool heat pumps that arise people’s attention. One is the ON/OFF heat pump, and the other is the inverter pool heat pump. The ON/OFF heat pump has been in the market for around 60 years, and the inverter pool heat pump has been the product of the last ten years. In case you are still wondering about the differences between ON/OFF and inverter pool heat pumps, this article will guide you to figure them out.

What are ON/OFF and Inverter Pool Heat Pumps?
Before introducing the difference between these two types of pool heat hump, let’s clarify what mainly they are.
The ON/OFF pool heat pump is a machine that can heat or cool the pool as required. It relies on the compressor constantly running under a fixed frequency (Normally 50HZ/60HZ depends on different markets) to keep the pool temperature stable.
The inverter pool heat pump can work during the frequency range 20Hz to 100Hz. The pump can adjust the running frequency according to the ambient temperature and the target pool temperature. In this case, we calculated the inverter pool heat pump should be about 20%~25% electric power saved compared with the on/off type, which is an energy-efficient way to ensure your pool is at a suitable temperature.
Difference Between ON/OFF Type and Inverter Type Pool Heat Pumps
Now that you have figured out what ON/OFF type and inverter type pool heat pumps are, let’s continue exploring their differences. The followings are some top differences between these two pool heat pumps.
1. Efficiency
The inverter pool heat pump is widely regarded as the ideal solution for energy efficiency procedures. In an inverter pool heat pump, cooling and heating are automated in an energy-efficient and cost-saving way. In contrast, ON/OFF heat pumps running cost more and at a lower average efficiency.
In this case, NEWNTIDE provides you high efficient inverter pool heat pump. The Dolphin series inverter pool heat pump reaches an average COP (coefficient of performance) up to 11 with elegant designs, while the ON/OFF heat pump’s COP is 5.5. NEWNTIDE aims to provide high-efficiency inverter heat pumps to their clients.
2. Heating Temperature
The inverter pool heat pump can heat or cool your pool more quickly than the ON/OFF heat pump. It is because the inverter pool heat pump adopts the brushless DC fan motor and inverter compressor, which can adjust the running frequency and fan speeds automatically. According to the statistics, the ON/OFF heat pump takes about twice the heating time as the inverter pool heat pump normally.
3. Water Temperature Control
The inverter pool heat pump has a more stable water temperature than the ON/OFF heat pump. As the expansion of operation time, inverter pool heat pumps show smaller temperature fluctuations than ON/OFF heat pumps. It means inverter heat pumps are more capable of providing constant water temperature.
4. Soft-Start Current Intensity
The inverter pool heat pump achieves completely soft switching at the start-up stage from zero to the maximum. However, the traditional ON/OFF heat pump starts at a current intensity three times higher than inverters. In this condition, using inverter pool heat pumps for your home will greatly lower your electricity than normal heat pumps, which will be much safer as well.
5. Quietly Operation
Inverter pool heat pumps are significantly quieter than conventional heat pumps. When operating at 100% output power, an inverter pool heat pump produces less noise than a similar ON/OFF type pool heat pump. To mention that, with years of hard-working in R&D, the NEWNTIDE’s Dolphin Series inverter pool heat pump can run at 20dB(A) in silent mode while the general outdoor noise is 70dB(A). So it means more than 3.5 times quiet than the general outdoor noise.
To conclude, the inverter pool heat pump has more benefits compared with the typical ON/OFF pool heat pump. It is better to select an inverter heat pump rather than an ON/OFF pool heat pump. NEWNTIDE inverter pool heat pump energy-saving, installation easily, and running quietly will be your better choice.
