Pool Heater Options for Outdoor Pools
Untitled Document
In summer nothing is better than a dive in a refreshing cool swimming
pool. And of course the water doesn't need any heating - the sun
heats it well enough. But that is only for 2-3 month. What happens
when the beautifully hot days are over? Your pool get deserted?
Then there are the cool days of winter when you’ve cranked
the furnace up a few notches and put on a long-sleeved shirt. When
you look into the back yard at your pool, you see one of two things:
either an empty, covered pool that’s waiting patiently for
summer days or you see a full pool with enticing tendrils of steam
rising into the frosty air. Your pool heater is working perfectly!
You and your partner and/or guests relax in the warm water while
around you autumn and winter pass like summertime dreams.

If you want to swim in your outside pool in spring and autumn month,
a pool heater is a must unless you’ve a fondness for icy cold
water. Like outdoor spas and hot tubs, pools properly equipped with
a heater can create a soothing warmth and sense of well-being. Consider:
in Yellowstone National Park, the burbling natural hot springs and
geysers are a point of congregation for elk, buffalo, and bighorn
sheep; nature’s own pool heater! Most living creatures seek
warmth during cold winter days, and you’re no exception. A
dependable heating device gives you year-round enjoyment instead
of having to wait until summer to enjoy a cooling dip.
Variety of Pool Heaters
Keep in mind that the first hot water heating systems were steam-driven.
While this method is still used in homes, it won’t work well
with pool heaters. When buying a home with a pool or when constructing
an outdoor pool, first decide if you want to use the pool year-round.
If so, consider equipping your outdoor recreation pool with a good
quality pool heater that’s housed in a small structure close
to the pool. You can set the heater’s temperature to suit
your own comfort, depending upon the weather. Although some like
to bask in a hot pool during a rainstorm, this isn’t a good
idea due to the possibility of lightening strikes. But in cold weather,
a pool heater allows you to enjoy the warmth and comfort even during
a light dusting of snow.

If you are wondering how expensive pool heater are, they can cost
you quite a lot. You can expect to pay around $700 depending upon
the size of your pool. This is not a do-it-yourself project; the
company that built the pool is best qualified to install the heater.
Unless you’re an electrician and pool service technician,
leave this project to those who are. The installer will give you
an estimate that includes labor as well as parts. Since most pool
heaters today are digital, the installer will give you a demonstration
as to how the device works, and what to do if it isn’t working
properly. Just like your pool in general, the heater will require
seasonal maintenance; failing to service your heater as recommended
will void the warranty if something major goes wrong.
But think of the benefits - outside it is cold and windy, but you
can take a relaxing swim in your backyard pool anyway. All thanks
to outdoor pool heater.
