Solar Pool Heaters Make Swimming Pools More Fun Throughout The Year

By John Adams


Heating your pool does not have to raise your utility bills dramatically, or in some cases at all. If you live in an area that has a lot of sun, you can use it to your advantage to heat your pool. No matter where you reside, though, there is a heater that's compatible with your pool. When you are looking for pool heaters, you can buy solar power brands, natural gas or electric which are available in various price ranges.

So how do you choose an option that works for you? The first thing to consider is that it is a benefit to anyone who owns a pool to make sure that it is a high efficiency and low maintenance model. In addition to many other considerations, the consumers should also think about what pool design is best for them (is it in or above the ground?), lifestyle (do you plan on using the heater frequently), typical weather patterns (the solar powered designs are best for those who live in warm, sunny parts of the country) as well as altitude (There might be a need for specific equipment if you live above a certain altitude.). Hayward, Pentair and Jandy are some of the brands most often purchased. Look for construction that is high quality and meant to outlast the high wind and inclimate weather. To make installation easier some models weigh less, to simplify operation they feature digital control, also they are adaptable to existing equipment and /or work with salt based chlorination systems. You are also going to see a significant decrease in your energy bill when you start using pool heat pumps.

These simple solar-based pool heaters are the cheapest way to lengthen your swim season. Both in ground pools and above ground ones can benefit from the use of a solar heating system. Easy to install on your own without a professional, it is designed to increase your water temperature by up to 15 degrees without using electricity or natural gas. The system has solar panels that will work with the pump and equipment you already have installed. The pool water temperature will increase as it circulates through solar channels. If the time is not right to invest in a large system, you can begin with a smaller machine like one of the SolarPro Solar Pool Heaters.

Other solar options are likely the most inexpensive ones you will find. Covers and rings are used to collect and convert sunlight into warmer water. The long lasting covers can be customized to your pool size and shape, and also help the water retain the sun's warmth for enjoyment the next day. The hoop has a radius of 2.5 feet and is created to accomplish the same thing, but using a lesser scale. You will be doing your share in saving the planet when you use these pool maintenance items.
