Swimming Pool Heat Pump Noise Level

Having a four-season pool in your backyard can be one of the best ways to maximize your fun with family and friends, and easily incorporate health and wellness into your daily routine. However, the loud noise from a swimming pool heat pump can cause disturbances in the community and detract from the swimming experience.

Pool heat pump noise level

Pool heat pump noise levels can vary between 55dB (normal call range) and 65db (vacuum cleaner noise). The best known brands operate in the 55dB to 58dB noise range. The lower the dB, the quieter the heat pump operates. Any small increase in dB will make a difference.

Factors Affecting the Sound Level of a Pool Heat Pump

1. Compressor

Much of the noise from a pool heat pump can be attributed to the friction of its compressor. Single-turn compressors are necessarily louder than double-turn compressors because they tend to vibrate. In order to improve the performance of a pool heat pump, it is necessary to provide a compressor that operates efficiently and with less noise.

2. Fan motor

Fan motor bushings can also make noise. To reduce sound levels, new DC technologies are being developed. Compared to traditional AC motors, fans driven by brushless DC motors can achieve a smooth oscillation process, making them an excellent choice for the application.

3. Piping and Airflow System Design

Although it is low level, the refrigerant flow noise of a pool heat pump can also be noisy. To reduce internal noise, the piping system should be designed for noise control. In addition to refrigerant flow noise, airflow noise is another factor of concern. A comprehensive airflow system should allow air to flow freely, thereby reducing unwanted sound and vibration.

Is there any way to reduce the noise of the pool heat pump?

Leomon's Inverter pool heat pump is one of the best options. With a stepless inverter compressor, brushless DC fan motor and a revolutionary anti-emission design, Mr. Silent's sound level is as low as 40dB(A) at 1m, providing the most comfortable swimming experience for all pool users.
