Heat Pumps Pool Heaters

Heat pumps pool heaters are very close relatives to heat pumps designed for Air Conditioning applications. Their functioning is essentially based on the same principle as ACs, but in this case we are interested in using the heat they generate to increase the temperature of the water being sent back to the swimming pool.

Usually heat pumps type pool heaters are compared to gas fired pool heaters and many people think that the last one is the best option; however, even when they are more expensive, due to their higher efficiency, the annual cost is typically lower and since they also last longer when properly maintained; savings are shown in the long run.

Gas Pool Heaters

Gas fired heaters offered slightly lower initial costs and they perform extremely well and efficiently when used to heat small pools for a short period time. Gas can heat your pool and/or SPA very quickly, usually reaching ideal temperature on your SPA in about 30 mins, while taking about an hour to warm your pool approximately at 84 F.
