At Leomon we offer a wide range of pool heaters, heat pumps, filters and covers for above ground pools.

Adding heat to your above-ground pool makes it more enjoyable and practical.

We supply pool heaters for all brands of above ground pools including Intex and Bestway etc.

There are several options for above-ground pool heating

1. Heat pump

Using a heat pump to heat an above-ground swimming pool is our recommended method.

Using a heat pump to heat your swimming pool will give you the lowest running costs.

For every 1kw of electricity consumed by the heat pump, it will output about 5kw of heat to the swimming pool

A heat pump collects free heat from the air and transfers it to your pool water

in Leomon. We sell many models of heat pumps for above ground swimming pools

2. Leomon Mini – The World’s Smallest Pool Heat Pump

The Leomon Mini is the smallest pool heat pump in the world.

It is designed for small above-ground pools with a water volume of up to 10 cubic meters

The Mini heat pump outputs 3.3kw of pool heat and consumes only 0.6kw of electricity

Mini heat pump is very easy to install and is a "plug and play" heat pump

3. Pool Heat Pumps for Aboveground Pools

6.7kW: 20 cubic meters

10.10 kW: 30 cubic meters

14.10 kW: 45 cubic meters

4. Pool Covers for Above Ground Pools

When heating above-ground pools, the pool water must be covered with a pool cover

We recommend solar covers for above ground swimming pools

When the sun is shining, the solar pool cover will heat the pool water. It also helps keep the pool warm at night and when the pool is not in use

5. How to Calculate Your Pool Water Level

You can easily calculate the amount of water in the pool as follows:-

round pool

To calculate the volume of a circular pool, you can use the formula

Pool volume = 3.14 x radius x radius x depth

Measure the diameter of the pool in meters

Half the diameter gives the radius of the pool

Multiply by 3.14 x radius x radius x pool depth

example

A 12' (3.66 m) diameter circular above-ground pool with a depth of 0.8 m

Diameter = 12′ x 0.305 = 3.66m

Radius = 3.66 / 2 = 1.83m

Volume = 3.14 x 1.83 x 1.83 x 0.8m = 8.4 m3

Hot Splash supports pools up to 10 cubic meters, so this pool is no problem

rectangular pool

Pool volume = length x width x depth

example

6m x 4m pool, 0.8 m deep = 6 x 4 x 0.8 = 19.2 m3

Heat splash max = 10 m3, so that's too big - check out our Eco+ heat pump

Typical Pool Sizes and Volumes

8′ x 30″ Intex Above Ground Pool = 3.6 m3 – Hot Splash OK!

10′ x 30″ Intex Above Ground Pool = 5.5m3 - Hot Splash OK!

12′ x 36″ Intex Above Ground Pool = 9.6 m3 – Hot Splash OK!

12' round pool = 8.4 m3
