Comfortable water temperatures have become an essential part of modern pool design. They extend the swimming season, improve user comfort and increase the overall value of a pool. As heating requirements continue to evolve, selecting the right technology depends on the individual project, the available building services and the water quality. With a comprehensive portfolio of heating solutions, BEHNCKE provides pool professionals with the flexibility to choose the right technology for virtually every application.
Shell-and-tube heat exchangers
Manufactured at BEHNCKE’s headquarters in Hohenbrunn, Germany, shell-and-tube heat exchangers have been part of the company’s portfolio for decades. They transfer heat from the building’s heating system directly to the pool water and are valued for their reliable performance, simple installation and maintenance-free operation. Depending on the application, they are available in stainless steel, titanium or plastic versions, allowing installers to select the most suitable solution for fresh water, saltwater and other demanding water conditions.
Plate heat exchangers
As modern buildings increasingly use low-temperature heating systems, plate heat exchangers have become an important part of efficient pool heating. Their large heat transfer surface enables high performance even when connected to heat pumps or low-temperature boilers. The bolted plate construction also simplifies maintenance, making these heat exchangers suitable for projects ranging from private wellness pools to large hotel and commercial installations.
Sun Plate solar absorbers
For projects that focus on sustainability and low operating costs, the BEHNCKE Sun Plate offers an environmentally friendly heating solution. Manufactured from durable HDPE, the absorber uses solar energy to heat pool water directly. Thanks to its flexible design, it can be installed horizontally or vertically on different roof types. The fully flooded construction, low pressure loss and direct pool water circulation ensure efficient heat transfer while reducing energy consumption.
Zealux UX inverter heat pumps
The latest addition to the portfolio is the Zealux UX inverter heat pump. Designed for high efficiency and exceptionally quiet operation, it continuously adjusts its output to the actual heating demand using inverter technology. Three operating modes allow users to prioritise maximum heating performance, balanced efficiency or ultra-quiet operation. Integrated Wi-Fi, app control and a touchscreen interface make everyday operation straightforward, while the robust housing is designed for reliable year-round use.
One portfolio, every heating solution
Every pool project has different technical requirements. Some installations benefit from the proven reliability of a heat exchanger, others require the efficiency of an inverter heat pump or the sustainability of solar heating. By offering all major pool heating technologies within one portfolio, BEHNCKE enables pool professionals to select the right solution for every application. The result is a complete heating concept that combines performance, energy efficiency and long-term reliability from a single supplier.
