Swimming Pool Water Heater

Thursday, June 24th, 2010

It is reasonably common for homeowners in warm countries to have a swimming pool in their property, yet in the UK the cooler conditions often put individuals off investing in an outdoor pool. However, there are ways to boost the temperature of a swimming pool, even when the weather isn’t so great. As specialists in swimming pool heaters, we at the Swimming Pool Store have a number of options to choose from, making a pool ready to enjoy whatever the time of year.

We appreciate that during the spring, whilst the weather is beginning to improve, the water temperature simply isn’t comfortable for many individuals. It is for this reason that we supply a selection of water heaters, these include heat pumps, natural and propane gas heaters, heat exchangers, inline electric heaters and oil heaters.

The amount of energy that a pool heater could potentially use may put some homeowners off investing in one. Fortunately, all of the heaters that we supply are tailored to the individual’s pool, meaning that they will only use the minimum amount of energy and they will be extremely cost effective.

During the summer, pool owners may not want to leave their heater running for long periods of time. In these instances, one of our solar swimming pool covers will be adequate. These covers transmit free solar energy to the water through their specialist sealed bubbles and the metallic backing prevents heat from escaping. If a heater is installed too, the energy requirements will often decrease with a cover.

Really want to purchase a swimming pool, but not sure whether the investment is worthwhile due to the changeable weather in the UK? Take a look at the selection of swimming pool heaters that we have available to purchase through our website. Further information can be requested by filling out our online enquiry form.

Types of Swimming Pool Heaters

For those that enjoy the exercise benefits of swimming or those who simply like to relax in the pool then an appropriate water temperature is essential. Too cold and it’s no fun for anyone. Too hot and the individual won’t occupy the pool for any length of time. This is why swimming pool heaters are so crucial to ensuring a consistent water temperature, and the enjoyment of the users. These heaters enable the user to feel the warmth of heated water throughout the year, many of which are also usable indoors.

The real beauty of swimming pool heaters is that quality operators will tailor them to meet your dimensions, which ensures they are a cost-effective heating solution that is neither too electricity hungry or inadequate for your pool area.

There are a variety of swimming pool heaters and associated products available, namely Heat Pumps, Natural & Propane Gas Heaters, Oil Heaters, Inline Electric Heaters and Heat Exchangers. These should be sourced from the leading manufacturers, including Calorex, Certikin, Electro, Thermalec and Vaporex.

Heat pumps are available for a range of pool sizes, and they absorb heat and moisture from the outside air in temperatures ranging from -15 to 40C, and upgrade this energy to a more usable form of heat through their unique refrigeration cycle. As well as these heat pumps, highly efficient oil-fired and in-line electric heaters are also available as pool heating solutions.

And while these heaters can be expensive in terms of initial outlay, they are incredibly cost-efficient in the long-term savings they can generate. But for a more economical option look no further than a heat exchanger. This are linked to the house boiler so that heat can be supplied to the pool when it is not required for the house.

In terms of powering your heater an array of natural and propane gas powered swimming pool heaters can be supplied by high-quality operators, as well as dehumidifiers which help to keep the air around your pool free of water vapour and condensation - which is especially important for indoor pools.
