Why heat my above ground swimming pool?

Owning a swimming pool provides a lifetime of physical fitness and family fun. A pool heater will keep the water temperature at a comfortable level year-round. You'll be able to enjoy your pool year around and not just for a few months. A pool heater makes the luxury of owning a swimming pool more rewarding.

Swimming pool heaters eliminate the need for warm weather to really enjoy your pool. In the fall, winter, or evening, a pool heater allows you to enjoy your swimming pool in most weather conditions excluding rain, hail, or snow. Wouldn't it wonderful to take an evening swim under a star filled night?

HELPFUL HINT: A solar blanket should be purchased along with your above ground pool heater. A solar blanket will prevent the heated pool water from dissipating as quickly as it would normally. A solar blanket also utilizes the sun's rays to aid in the heating of your pool. Another benefit of solar blankets is they reduce gas costs, saving you more money in the end.

There are three types of above ground pool heating systems. They include Solar, Electric Heat Pump, and Gas (Natural or Lp/Propane). The best system for your pool will be determined by several factors, including your own personal needs, budget, and physical layout of your pool and house. The answers to many of these questions are discussed in detail in the section.
