How a Pool Chiller Works
A pool chiller is a heat pump running in reverse. It pulls heat out of the pool water and releases it into the air, lowering water temperature during hot weather. Inside, refrigerant absorbs heat at a titanium heat exchanger, a compressor pumps that heat to the outdoor coil, and a fan rejects it to the air.
In hot climates, pool water can climb into the upper 80s and 90s, which feels less refreshing and can make sanitizer and algae control harder. A chiller keeps the pool at a comfortable, consistent temperature all summer.
How to Size a Pool Chiller
Chillers are sized by cooling capacity in BTU per hour. The same water math applies: it takes about 8.33 BTU to change one gallon of water by one degree Fahrenheit. Larger pools, full sun exposure and high humidity all increase the load.
Our team can help match capacity to your pool size and local climate.
Good, Better, Best: Where the Nirvana FC105CH-6A1CG Fits

Installation and Electrical Requirements
Chillers need a dedicated circuit (240V) installed by a licensed electrician, an outdoor location with free airflow around the fan and coil, and plumbing after the filter and before any chlorinator. A level pad and a clear path for condensate are also required.
Maintenance Tips
- Keep the coil and fan area free of leaves and debris.
- Keep water chemistry balanced to protect the heat exchanger.
- Clean the pool filter regularly so the unit gets proper flow.
- Schedule an annual check of refrigerant pressures and electrical connections.
Pool Chillers by Region
Chillers are most popular in South Florida, Texas, Arizona, Nevada and Southern California, where summer water temperatures can become uncomfortably warm. Resorts, HOAs and homeowners with shallow or sun-exposed pools often find a chiller is the difference between a pool that gets used all summer and one that sits idle.
