Swimming Pool Heaters For More Use Of The Pool

Swimming Pool

During the winter, you might not as enthusiastic or willing to jump into the pool as you were during the summer. A big plunge into a body of chilly water is refreshing when it’s hot, but painful and undesirable in the midst of the cold season. But it seems like kind of a waste to not use a pool all year round.

If you do own a pool, you probably want to get as much use out of it as possible. Owning a pool means plenty of recreation for the family and for guests, and swimming is also one of the best types of aerobic exercise.

So if you want to be able to get a good work out and entertain the kids during the winter and not just in the warmer spring and summer seasons, installing a swimming pool heater is the solution that you’re looking for.

Swimming pool heaters can help extend the use of your pool by keeping the pool water at a temperature that’s tolerable for swimming use.

You might be reluctant to use a swimming pool heater because it might seem really expensive to maintain. However, if you properly insulate your pool you can save a lot of heat and money.

It’s best to use swimming pool heaters that have a cover because this prevents the heat from escaping and makes pool heating efficient by using and keeping in all the heat as much as possible. Using and maintaining a swimming pool heater doesn’t have to be an outrageously expensive venture.

There are 3 main kinds of swimming pool heaters: gas, electric and solar. Each has its pros and cons. Gas swimming pool heaters are popular because the heaters themselves are cheap, but buying the fuel to run them can accumulate a lot of costs and they’re not environmentally friendly.

Electric heaters are more expensive initially, but actually running them is cheaper than using gas, so they can probably be used more than a gas pool heater. Solar heaters are environmentally friend and they use outside light and heat, as do electric heaters, but they simply circulate it into the pool rather than converting it into electric energy, so there’s no cost to run them, but they won’t work as well when the weather isn’t sunny anymore.

So for a cold winter, gas or electric is a better option and the decision to purchase a swimming pool heater will depend on how long you want to operate it and how much you want to spend.
