This calculator estimates the electricity cost to raise your pool temperature using a fixed COP of 15.
$0.00
Estimated cost to raise your pool from current temperature to target temperature, based on COP 15.
Estimate only. Assumes COP 15. Actual running costs depend on ambient temperature, humidity, wind, heat loss, cover use, plumbing, electricity tariffs and installation conditions.
Pool Volume and Temperature Rise Drive Heating Cost
The larger the pool and the bigger the temperature increase, the more thermal energy is required.
This calculator converts the energy required to heat the water into estimated electrical energy using a COP of 15.
Pool Volume
Larger pools require more energy to raise the water temperature.
Temperature Rise
Heating from 18°C to 28°C costs more than maintaining an already warm pool.
COP 15
This estimate uses COP 15 to convert thermal energy into electrical energy use.
Pool Cover
A cover helps reduce daily holding cost by lowering heat loss overnight.
Example Pool Heating Cost Guide
These are examples only. Actual costs vary by electricity tariff, weather and heat loss.
| Scenario | Impact | Cost Direction |
|---|---|---|
| Small temperature increase | Less thermal energy required | Lower cost |
| Large pool volume | More water to heat | Higher cost |
| Pool cover used | Reduced heat loss | Lower holding cost |
| Cool, windy weather | Higher heat loss | Higher running cost |
Why Heat Pumps Are Efficient for Pool Heating
A heat pump moves heat from the surrounding air into the pool water, allowing it to deliver more heating energy than the electricity it consumes.
Higher COP means less electricity is required for the same amount of pool heating.

Common Running Cost Questions
How is pool heat pump running cost calculated?
This calculator estimates the thermal energy required to heat the pool water, then divides by COP 15 to estimate electrical energy use.
Does pool volume affect running cost?
Yes. Larger pools contain more water and require more energy to raise the temperature.
Does a pool cover reduce costs?
Yes. A cover helps reduce heat loss, especially overnight and during cooler weather.
Why is COP fixed at 15?
This provides a simple estimate. Actual COP changes with ambient temperature, water temperature and operating conditions.
