There are various pool heaters available in the market. Some people love the concept of solar pool heaters. Before you buy one, ensure you understand the total cost, along with what you are getting for that price and be sure that it is correctly matched to the size of the pool. One should look at its effectiveness before buying a pool heater. There are a lot of companies that sell pool heaters and a lot don?t understand what they are selling. You need to do more than simply compare the price. You need to look at the quality of the product and the reputation of the manufacturers. The solar pool heater simply circulates water through a solar collector. This solar collector receives its warmth from the sun directly and exchanges the heat to the water. The heated water is then returned to the pool.

Some solar pool heaters are capable of performing a dual function. In the hot summer months when the water in the pool becomes too hot the water is cooled in the evening allowing you to enjoy a fresh dip in cool water. Solar pool heaters have a very low operating cost as compared to other forms of heating. The other good thing about solar heaters is that they have very good durability and warranties from the manufacturers.

Apart from solar heaters you can also get pool heaters that are operated by the combustion of gas. The water is pumped through the heater after being filtered. Natural or propane gas is used and it is burned in the combustion chamber of the heater.

As the heat is generated around the heat exchanger, the water passes through the heat exchanger and then the heated water is returned to the pool. Gas pool heaters are extremely efficient and quick. One can control the heat that is generated. This means that you choose what temperature you wish to maintain the water in the pool or spa.

Also available is electric heat pump pool heaters. In case of most electric heat pump heaters a fan will draw air will draw air passes through an evaporator coil. Liquid refrigerant is heated by the air and converts into gas. The refrigerant gas then passes through the compressor. The compression of the gas produces heat.

The heater can heat pool water to temperature ranging from 20 to 26 degrees even when the temperature outside is freezing.

With any type of heating you can enjoy a relaxing swim on cold evenings. Before buying the pool heater, note the size of the pool (surface are and volume) and decide the sort of temperature that you want. Pool water is generally enjoyed within the range of 20 to 30 degrees Celsius. You can always adjust the temperature of the pool to suit the temperature outside.
