KOOL-POOL
Swimming
Pool Cooler
Cool temperature control
of the water in your swimming pool with an energy efficient
heat exchanger.
The Kool-Pool units are liquid-to-air heat exchangers
for cooling the water in swimming pools. Features low
energy consumption, runs in conjunction with existing swimming
pool filtering systems, has automatic control, increases
the lifetime of pool water treating chemicals, and allows
the enjoyment of a swimming pool in the hottest of climates.
Key Benefits
- Energy efficient design
- All-weather construction
- Direct installation
Capabilities
Kool-Pool units are
liquid-to-air heat exchangers designed to cool the water
in swimming pools, ponds, aquaculture ponds, and tanks.
An energy efficient Kool-Pool unit consists of
a polycoated aluminum finned copper heat exchange coil and
an electric fan which blows high velocity air across
the coil to dissipate the heat content of the water flowing
through the cooling coil. The unit operates on electrical
power for the fan motor and the electronic temperature control
system. The pool water is circulated through the Kool-Pool
unit which is plumbed between the outlet of a pool
filter and the pool inlet. The pool water pump is utilized
to pump water through the Kool-Pool unit when the
pool water temperature is higher than the temperature
set point of the electronic control system. An electrically
actuated bypass valve can be included which will bypass
the Kool-Pool unit when the pool water temperature
is lower than the temperature set level.
- Capability 1
- Cool 60,000 gallons of swimming pool water from 91
degrees F to 85 degrees F overnight with 71 degrees
F ambient nighttime air temperature at low cost.
- Capability 2
- Automatic operation in conjunction with the swimming
pool filtering pump system with relatively low
sound levels.
- Capability 3
- Longer effective lifetime for pool water chemicals
which saves money.

The Kool-Pool air-cooled heat exchanger utilizes single-phase
direct drive propeller fan or fans. The heat exchanger
coil is constructed with poly coated copper tubing and
mechanically bonded coated aluminum fins. The casing is
constructed of galvanized steel, stainless steel, and
aluminum. A pre-wired control box is mounted on the unit
with a non-fused lockable disconnect and one electrical
contactor for unit control in conjunction with an electronic
temperature controller and sensor which are included.
The Kool-Pool unit must be freeze protected and includes
a manual drain valve.
The service hook-up is to plumb the pool filter output
to the bypass valve on the Kool-Pool unit and the return
to the pool inlet line previously connected to the pool
filter output line. An manual bypass valve is to be included
by installer. The electrical hook-up is to wire a power
feeder to the Kool-Pool unit control box (knockout provided)
which provides fan power, electronic temperature control
power, and bypass valve power. Mounting on a cement pad,
patio blocks, or bricks is required.
Sound levels are similar to a three-ton home heat pump
compressor/condenser unit at 74 to 83 db. Sound source
location, proximity to the pool pump/ filter location,
and electrical wiring location are important considerations
in placement of the Kool-Pool unit. An area with two feet
of free space around the unit should be provided. Low
overhangs or tree branches should be avoided above the
unit. The unit is designed for outdoor environments.
