When people think about hydronic heating, they instantaneously believe that hydronic heating is yet another way of heating your home! With all the advancements in heating and air conditioner technology this week, most people instantaneously think of this, but what a lot of people don’t think about is that hydronic heating can also be used to heat an indoor pool! Yes, you heard me right…an indoor swimming pool! My rich neighbor has an indoor pool, and he was talking about replacing the heat pump in his pool with hydronic heating.
When he told me about this it kind of confused me. Because I had thought that a heat pump was in fact a form of hydronic heating, but he abruptly corrected me on this assumption! There are unusual kinds of heat pumps for a swimming pool; The same as there are unusual kinds of heat pumps for home heating as well. But he kept going on about how hydronic heating was going to be the best way to heat his indoor swimming pool. The whole conversation had me utterly confused! But a single thing I did learn was that when people beginning talking about hydronic heating, they are not consistently talking about heating the home; I undoubtedly think it’s totally awesome that my neighbor is rich and is able to have an indoor pool in his substantial house that he owns. Me and my family are consistently invited over there to go swimming in the chilly Winter time weeks when the rest of the world is huddling by the fireplace or central gas furnace to keep warm!
