Considerations When Choosing A Propane Pool Heater
You should speak with your swimming pool professional before choosing the type of pool heating technology for your pool, as there are many considerations to ensure that you get the right heating solution to meet your needs and your budget. Many people choose to go with a propane pool heater as it provides quick heating solutions that work well in climates with four seasons when you want to heat the water quickly in the spring or keep it open a little later before fall hits. Gas and propane pool heaters available today are much more efficient than heaters produced even 10 years ago.
You might be surprised at the affordability of heating your pool with a propane pool heater, especially if you use it in conjunction with a solar cover in the evening to hold the heat in and prevent evaporation. For pool owners who already use a heater, they don’t know how they ever lived without one. Some of the most important considerations when choosing your pool heater include:
- The size of the heater necessary – pool heaters are rated by their heating capacity, which is measured in British Thermal Units (BTUs). Most gas or propane pool heaters can produce a range of 175,000 to 400,000 BTUs, while most heat pumps anywhere between 100,000 to 150,000 BTUs depending on the size. This is why gas pool heaters heat the water quicker than a heat pump, but the heat pump does a fine job of maintaining water temperature once it gets there.
- Your location and the availability and costs of gas and electric – cooler climates can benefit from a gas heater with quick heating technology, especially in areas where gas prices are low to moderate.
- Size of your pool – the size of your pool will also dictate the type of pool heater that will deliver the best and most efficient performance.
Your swimming pool professional can help you evaluate all of these considerations and more such as the amount of exposure to sunlight and wind and other factors, to determine the best pool heating solution. You can maximize your pool heating efficiency by using a solar cover and maintaining healthy water chemistry.
