A classic pool is winterized and unused for several months. But there is a solution for swimming outdoors all year round — swim spa pool with counter-current. We explain why it works even in frost and how to run it economically.
Why a swim spa works even in winter
Year-round operation is enabled by a combination of three things: insulated body swim spa, an insulated thermal cover and a powerful heating. Ideal is Heat pump, which keep a pleasant water temperature even during frosts with low consumption. You swim against the current and relax while snow falls around you.
How to run a year-round pool economically
- Quality insulation — the basis of low heat loss.
- Covering — whenever you are not using the swim spa, cover it; the thermal cover keeps the heat.
- Heat pump — heats significantly more cheaply than a direct electric heater.
- Stable temperature — maintaining the temperature is cheaper than reheating the water every time.
Swimming regardless of the garden length
The counter-current creates a continuous stream of water in which you swim on the spot — you do not need a long pool. A year-round swim spa thus fits even on a smaller plot. How to choose counter-current power is covered in the article counter-current pools.
