Make Your Swimming Pool More Enjoyable Throughout The Year With A Solar Pool Heater

By John Adams


You may be surprised at how cheaply you can actually heat your pool; in fact, sometimes you can actually do this for free. 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 shop for pool heaters, you can select from models that use solar power, natural gas or electricity, all available at different price points.

How do you pick the best option? First, virtually every pool owner can benefit from a model that is high in efficiency and low in maintenance. Other things to think about are what kind of pool you have (is it in or above the ground?), way of life (how much you will use the heater), typical weather patterns (naturally solar powered heaters are going to work best in sunny climates) as well as the altitude of your home. (higher altitudes may require specialized equipment). 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. Some models also weigh less to facilitate installation, have digital controls to simplify operation, are adaptable to existing equipment and/or work with salt based chlorination systems. Pool heat pumps can help you save a great deal on energy costs as well.

Solar based pool heaters is the most cost effective way to make your swimming season last longer. Solar heating systems are available for both in-ground and above-ground pools. 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. Your existing pump and other equipment are compatible with this new system that features solar panels. There are solar channels that the pool water goes through which raises the temperature of the water. If you are not ready to install a large system, start with a smaller contraption, such as one of the SolarPro Solar Pool Heaters.

There are other, less expensive solar options as well. There are solar rings and pool covers designed to convert the sun's rays into warm, welcoming 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. When you use these pool products you'll be lessening your dependency on the earth's resources, too.
