Swimming Pool Heating

Swimming Pool Heating

Swimming pool heating systems are a popular addition to the basic swimming pool installation. They allow you to keep your pool at a comfortable temperature into the evenings and also in the colder months of the year. In this article I'm going to be talking about reasons why you might want to use swimming pool heating systems, the different types of systems you can get, and where to buy them.

For lots of dual income households, the only time the pool is used is on the weekend. By the evening time, most pools will have lost their heat and be uncomfortably cool, even in hot areas like Florida. This means that the people that are paying for the pool don't get to use it as much as they would like. Pool heater allows you to use the pool at times when it would otherwise be cold, such as in the evenings or during winter. For most people this is a matter of convenience, allowing them to use the pool when they want to.

For some people it's a matter of necessity though, when they need to use the pool to health reasons. In these cases of illness or health related conditions, it may be possible to deduct the cost of heating system from your taxes, or even to get a grant to cover the costs of the heater. There are several different options that you have when you choose a swimming pool heating system, and your choice will be based on your location and requirements. I'm going to tell you about a few of the different options that you have, and then I'm going to direct you to a website where you can get them.

The first option that you have is a traditional propane based heater. These systems are very fast to heat water, and are cheap to install, but they can be the most expensive way to heat your pool. Propane is a relatively expensive fuel for heating water when it is compared to the other systems are available, so this is usually used as a booster to supplement the other systems when they do not generate enough heat.

The next option is a heat pump. Heat pumps sucked the heat out of the air around the unit, and transfer this heat into the water of the pool, which circulates through the unit. This raises the temperature of the pool by reducing the temperature of the air. As the air gets cold, warm air flows in and displaces it, so this process continues continuously. Obviously during colder times of the year the amount of heat that you gain from the air is going to be lower, which is why you should supplement a heat pump with a propane heater which will only kick in when it's needed.

The other option that people face is a solar powered swimming pool heating system. This uses sunlight to generate heat, and is therefore the cheapest system operate. Installing a solar power system is a lot more expensive than a propane system, but because it costs nothing to run it can pay for itself in as little as two years, and is built to last for a great many years.

As you can see, when you choose a swimming pool heating system, you have to think about your requirements and the amounts of sunlight and average air temperature in your own area. If you live in Arctic conditions, for instance, a heat pump is not going to do you much good.

Whichever system or combination of systems you choose to install, the Internet gives you unrivalled opportunities to make savings. Internet stores do not have the same overheads that brick and mortar stores have, so they can pass the savings on to you as a customer. There is one website which guarantees the lowest possible prices. If you find any lower price they will undercut it by 10%.
