Solar Heating for Your Swimming Pool

Posted by Backyard Ocean in Good Advice - (0 Comments)

Summer is still a couple of months away but many people are already waiting for beach weather to arrive. For those who want to get a piece of summer heaven in the middle of winter, the best thing to do is to heat up your swimming pool water and take a relaxing dip.

If your pool doesn’t require winterizing (that is, if you don’t get plenty of snow in your area), you can set up a heater to get your desired water temperature.

The most commonly used are gas and electric heaters, which are both efficient in warming up the water. The only caveat to the two is the cost for installation and maintenance. Gas pumps are cheaper but if you factor in the price of gas, they end up being more expensive than electric pumps. The opposite is true for electric heaters.

If you wish to maintain the temperature all year round, get a solar heater instead. Solar heating panels harvest power from the sun to heat up swimming pool water. This kind of set-up allows pool owners to enjoy the water without driving up the electricity bills.

Heating Your Pool during the Cold Season

Posted by Backyard Ocean in Product Reviews - (0 Comments)

With summer nearing its end this year, people are looking for ways to maximize the swimming season. But did you know you can enjoy swimming all-year round by heating your pool during autumn and winter?

Installing a pool heater for your backyard pool is easy; you only need to know which kind is right for you.

  1. Solar Pool Heaters – These pool heaters use the power of the sun in heating the water of your swimming pool. Solar energy passes through lenses or panels, depending on the kind you use. The heater circulates heated water and this gives you the right temperature perfect for swimming.
  2. Gas Pool Heaters – Using natural gas to heat the water, gas pool heaters are a convenient way for raising the temperature of your pool to make it more inviting. Lightweight and easy-to-install, these heaters do not create a lot of noise so you can enjoy your swimming without being bothered by buzzing sounds.
  3. Pool Heat Pumps – These heat pumps run on electricity and do not emit pollutants in the air. They work by compressing air to heat it up and transporting that hot air into your swimming pool.
