Swimming Pool Heaters And Heat Pumps

Pool Heaters are no longer considered a luxury.  Since many swimming pools are located in parts of the country where the weather is great one day and bad the next.

A pool heater will allow you to set desired water temperature that you want, like the thermostat in your home. When the water temperature drops a degree or two below that setting, the heater will start. 

When the water temperature gets to the desired setting, the heater shuts off.  Its that simple!  With a pool heater you can open the pool or spa earlier and swim longer into the season, perhaps even year round.

If you use your pool heater for much of the season, you certainly may wish to consider a Solar Blanket to help keep the heat in and hold down some of the heating costs.

Pool heaters are installed AFTER the pump and filter so that only clean water reaches it.  Installation is NOT DIFFICULT!  If you are somewhat handy and do most of the fix-it chores yourself, you can certainly install the heater.

Millivolt Pool Heaters

Heaters with a standing pilot are called millivolt. This is similar to a pilot on a gas stove. Millivolt heaters do NOT need electricity to operate. A dial on the front of the heater controls the heat. You simply play with the setting to get the right temperature for your pool.

Electronic Pool Heaters

Electronic Ignition Pool Heaters. There is NO pilot light in these models. Electricity is needed to operate these types. .When you wish to start the heater, or the unit calls for heat, electricity heats up an ignition module that fires the burners. This style heater uses less gas than the millivolt heaters and it is easier get that perfect temperature. All you do is set the desired temp on the LED display and forget it.

How Does the pool/spa heat pump work?
In the Heating Mode...

Sun-warmed air is the energy resource utilized by heat pumps. The heat pump draws in and upgrades large quantities of low-grade heat already existing in the air and transfers it to the pool and spa water. This is accomplished by utilizing minimal amounts of electricity and coolant gas, along with a high powered fan, super-efficient compressor and your already existing pool pump. The process is similar to your refrigerator or air conditioner, only in reverse, Some heat pumps are equipped with a Chiller Mode, When the pump is in the chill mode it will cool down water that is to hot. This feature is very useful in the South West and Deep South States.
