Swimming Pool Equipment


Reduce operating costs and your carbon footprint with a quality range of energy saving products. Crl Group Ltd are registered installers, service / maintenance contractor and commissioning engineers for Calorex Pools and heat recovery systems.

Swimming Pool Environmental Control

From small spas and domestic swimming pool dehumidification to complete humidity control systems for pools in leisure centers or sports complexes, Calorex creates the right air and water climate for your comfort and to protect your buildings.

Swimming Pool Heat Pumps

A Calorex heat pump is the most economical and most environmentally friendly method of dynamically heating an outdoor swimming pool. For every unit of energy consumed the total heat recovered can be up to five units, even on a cloudy day.

Domestic Ground Source Heat Pumps & Air Source Heat Pumps

Calorex have designed and manufacture the market leading range of domestic air source heat pumps and domestic ground source heat pumps, using the solar energy stored in the ground (ground source) or latent and sensible energy from the outside air (air source) to provide both heating and hot water for your home. A Calorex unit will provide all of your requirements from one source with zero carbon emissions at the property.

Dehumidifiers and Humidifiers

As a world leading designer and manufacturer of commercial heat pump dehumidifiers, Calorex can supply equipment suitable across a wide range of dehumidification applications from sophisticated ‘total loss’ or ‘keep dry recirculation’ systems to a simple, off the shelf, mobile dehumidifier to plug in and go, Calorex are unique problem solvers in their field.

Commercial Heat Pumps and Heat Recovery

We also manufacture a range of units that provide energy efficient hot water heating by extracting energy from the air in a hotel kitchen for example and upgrading this to a form of heat that is rejected to a water system. They are capable of delivering up to five times more energy than they consume.

The Challenge

To provide the swimming pool design engineer with a solution to pool heating which will reliably and economically heat a swimming pool, regardless of ambient air temperature and location.

Enjoyable swimming

The fun starts with the comfort that a heat pump offers! Controlling the temperature of water is essential to ensure the joy of swimming throughout the season.

A prolonged swimming season

Why should we only appreciate the two warmest months of summer when it is possible to extend this pleasure, regardless of the vagaries of the weather?

The assurance of an automatic system:

Set your temperature – let Calorex technology do the rest! Our heat pumps are specifically designed for swimming pool heating and this means that all components used in their construction are designed to give maximum efficiency at swimming pool conditions and will give years of trouble free service.

Calorex ranks among the world leaders in heat pump technology

The real cost of the hot water we all use so freely, and largely take for granted, only becomes apparent when the bill comes in.  Calorex have a range of heat pumps that can efficiently recover energy from the air to heat water, saving money over conventional systems.  With increased demand for energy efficiency and reductions in CO2 emissions, heat pumps have never looked more attractive.

Typical applications

Hotels, Restaurants, Hospitals, Schools, any project with a regular demand for hot water.
The specific requirements can normally be broken down into one of three basic types of system:

Heat recovery for space cooling

Primary goal – to cool a space, typically for comfort or product storage.
Secondary goal – reduce heating costs by reducing the load on boilers.

  • Waste heat is dissipated to hot water circuit
  • No external condenser required
  • Sized and controlled on space cooling demand
  • Water heating stops when cooling demand satisfied
  • Supplements existing heating to reduce costs

Heat recovery for hot water production

Primary goal – reduce heating costs by heating water with waste heat recovered from an overheated area which does not otherwise require cooling

  • Waste energy is transformed into useful heat
  • Hot water is produced
  • Size and controlled on hot water usage
  • Cooling stops when water temperature satisfied

Hot water production

Primary goal – to make available a supply of hot water

  • Heat Pumps can produce water up to 70°C
  • Hot water can be used directly or to pre-heat incoming water mains water
  • Energy taken from ambient air
  • Energy can be taken from an internal space to recover waste heat
  • Size and controlled on hot water usage
