Why heat my pool?

Your pool represents a significant financial investment. Heating your pool enables you and your family to enjoy your investment more than just a few months a year.

Heating your pool enables you to comfortably enjoy your pool - earlier in the spring, evenings after work, and later into the fall. A warmer pool means more time for family fun, more opportunities for healthy exercise, and a better gathering place for family and friends.

Is there enough sun where I live?
Studies show that there is enough solar energy in all parts of the United States and into Canada for you to enjoy a longer swim season with a solar pool heater.

Is a solar pool heater better than a gas heater?
We think so. A solar pool heater can be less expensive up front than a gas heater, depending on the size of your pool. Once a solar pool heater is installed, your heat is FREE from the sun. With a gas heater you need to pay the gas company depending on how much you use the heater (your pool store can give you estimates for your area). In the spring and fall when you really need heat, you use the pool heater more, so it costs you more - but solar energy is still free. Also, solar is non-polluting, and it can cool your pool during hot months, something no gas heater can do.

How do I compare a gas heater to a solar pool heater?
First check the operating costs. Will you really be willing to pay the gas bill, or will you shut off the pool heater when you need it most? Second, ask about annual maintenance costs. Solar has none. Also, determine the life of the system. Solar pool heating systems can last 15-20 years. Lastly, what are you really trying to accomplish with a pool heater? If you want your pool to be a comfortable swimming temperature all season long, then choose solar.

Can pool solar panels be used to heat the house?
No. Solar pool panels and controls are designed specifically to heat a large volume of water in a swimming pool, and to operate in temperature ranges of 80 to 100 degrees. Household space heating and household hot water are different applications of solar, requiring the heating of smaller volumes of household water to higher temperatures.
