December in NSW brings the heat, but it also brings humidity and heatwaves. While we often talk about heating pools, there is such a thing as a pool being too warm. During a run of 35-degree days in Western Sydney, pool water can climb to bath-like temperatures that are no longer refreshing. This is where the versatility of a heat pump truly outperforms other systems. Unlike basic heating methods, a high-quality Oasis Heat Pumps give you total control over your swimming environment, both heating and cooling.
The Power to Cool Down
A standout feature of the Oasis range is the ability to reverse the cycle. Just as an air conditioner can cool your home, your heat pump can cool your pool. If a heatwave pushes your water temperature into the mid-thirties, simply switch the unit to cooling mode. It will extract the excess heat from the water and release it into the air, returning your pool to a crisp, refreshing 26 or 27 degrees. This dual functionality ensures your pool remains a sanctuary of relief even during the hottest weeks of the NSW summer.
Maximising the School Holidays
With the kids home for six weeks, the pool becomes the best way to burn off energy and keep them entertained. However, consistency is key. If the water is too cold in the morning or too hot in the afternoon, the kids won’t use it. A heat pump ensures the water remains at that perfect temperature all day long, encouraging active play from breakfast until dinner. It transforms your backyard into a reliable holiday destination, saving you money on outings and keeping the family happy at home.
Energy-Efficient Comfort
Running a pool pump all summer sounds expensive, but it doesn’t have to be. Inverter technology has revolutionised running costs. Because the unit rarely needs to run at 100% capacity during December (often just needing to maintain temperature rather than build it), it sips electricity rather than guzzling it. You get the luxury of a perfectly temperature-controlled pool—heated or cooled—without the fear of a shocking bill in the New Year.
