Depending on where you live in the country, the winter season might mean closing up your pool and waiting for the next swimming season to begin, or it might mean dipping your toes into a colder pool and wishing the weather and water were warmer. But what if you could keep your pool warm and extend your pool season, at the same time?
There are several options for heating your pool, including heaters powered by solar, gas, and electricity. From eco-friendly solar options to instant-temperature gas systems, we will review all the available options to keep your pool running smoothly throughout the year.
A pool heater is an investment that adds comfort, value, and extended enjoyment to your pool. Without a heater, most pools sit unused during the colder months, which for some people means they are not used three out of four seasons of the year. With a heater, you can extend your swimming season and enjoy your pool in spring, fall, and even winter in some areas. Say goodbye to those days when it feels far too cold to get into the pool. A heater will keep your water at the perfect temperature, allowing you to relax, exercise, or entertain guests, regardless of how cold the outside air gets.
There are two significant advantages to using solar heaters to heat your pool: firstly, the reduced environmental impact of harnessing sunlight without the need for electricity or gas, and secondly, the fact that using sunlight to heat your pool is a free energy source. The main investment is the initial cost of purchasing and setting up the machine, as it will then collect heat at no additional cost.
Suppose you don't want your monthly utility expenses to increase or are trying to be eco-concious. In that case, these heaters area great choice, as they help reduce emissions and protect the planet from any negative environmental impact.
The Sun2Solar® XD1 Pool Heater is easy to install and requires no gas or electrical connections. It allows you to add weeks to the swimming season by using the sun's free energy to increase the heating efficiency of above ground pools. They can also be connected together to heat larger pools.
The Sun2Solar® XD2 Pool Heater can add weeks to your swimming season by harnessing the energy of the sun to heat your pool. Designed for inground pools, multiple heaters can be connected together in series in order to increase their heating efficiency. A bypass kit can control the volume of flow, and ultimately, the amount of water that is heated.
Enersol's easy-to-install solar pool heating panels can rais your pool water's temperature by up to 15°F without incurring additional heating bills. The Solarprene® is made from rubber entirely resistant to pool chemicals, harsh UV rays, and extreme hot and cold temperatures. Your existing pool pump pumps water from the pool into the panels, which are then heated by the sun before the warmed water is returned to your pool. If the system is sized correctly for your pool, then your water temperature can increase up to 15°F on average.
Gas heaters work by sending water from your pool through piping and into a chamger where the gas is held. After the water is heated to its desired level, it's sent back into the pool, heating the water quickly and efficiently.
If you live in colder, less sunny climates, then gas heaters may be the best option for you, as they can maintain your pool at the desired temperature regardless of the weather. The size of your pool heater depends on the size of your pool, and it's important to size them accordingly.
