Extend Your Swimming Season with a Pool Heater
Posted by GuestPoster in -The Great Outdoors
Most pool owners love getting the most use out of their pool as possible. They’re excited when pool season starts and upset when it ends. If you feel the same way, you may want to consider installing a pool heater. Pool heaters give you the chance to double your swim season by keeping the water temperature comfortable and consistent.
Pool heaters are designed to help set the temperature of your pool water to a comfort degree. Many experts recommend a water temperature of approximately 78 degrees, however, many individuals desire water temperatures of about 80 degrees. Regulate the temperature of your pool with the heaters controls and pool thermometers.
While some may argue that sun itself can heat your pool and that a heater is a waste of money, they often don’t realize how much more use you can get out of your pool when you have the ability to control the water’s temp. Pool owners in Northern climates can expand their swimming season to twice as long and those living in the south can see their season length triple.
Since heating a pool, especially a larger pool, can be taxing on your energy bills, you should strongly consider using a pool cover in conjunction with your heater. Good insulating pool covers can reduce heat loss by up to fifty percent – saving you a considerable amount of money.
There are several different types of pool heaters to consider. You can choose from gas heaters, oil heaters, electric heaters, and solar powered heaters. Gas heaters are often considered the most common and most popular, while solar heaters are considered the most efficient and earth-friendly. Oil heaters are popular where natural gas is not readily available. Electric powered heaters don’t need oil or natural gas, but unfortunately they are are expensive to buy and to operate.
If you are skeptical about purchasing a pool heater, but can’t help but wonder what it would be like, just imagine taking a warm dip on a cool September night. It could be one of the best decisions you’ve ever made – excluding your decision to purchase your pool in the first place of course!
