Below, we explain the ideal ground source heat pump plant room size, helping you to create a plant room that has enough space to comfortably meet all your pool maintenance requirements and ensure efficient operation.

Do you need a plant room for a ground source heat pump?

Ideally, ground source heat pumps should be installed inside a small plant room. Available in a range of kW sizes based on the surface area of the pool, choosing the right ground source heat pump for your pool is fairly straightforward.

Put simply, larger ground source heat pumps are required for commercial pools, while smaller, residential pools should get away with a lower kW model.

How much space do you need for ground source heat pump?

While ground source heat pumps do require more room than the air pump alternative, you don’t need lots of space to install a plant room for your ground source heat pump.

Depending on the size of your specific heat pump, a suitable plant room for a ground source heat pump typically measures at least 1m x 3m.

However, for a more accurate idea of the best ground source heat pump plant room size, it’s always best to contact a professional pool plant room installation company.
