Solar heaters for the swimming pool

If the summer months aren't providing you with enough warmth in the swimming pool, perhaps it's time to investigate the world of solar heaters.

Solar heaters - panel heating

Solar heating is a cost-effective heating method for pool water. Energy from the sun is circulated by powerful pumps for thorough heating. However, if the skies are grey, the solar panels won't generate much energy and you may be left cold for a few months of the year.

Gas water heating

The next step up in the heating price range is gas. It is possible to achieve temperatures in the high 20s relatively quickly, though the time it takes will depend on the size and power of your system.

Solar heat blankets

Solar blankets capture heat from the sun, filtering it steadily into the water below. A solar blanket can cut heating costs quite dramatically, but again, rely on a regular source of sunlight. If you don't want to take a gamble with the sun, more reliable options may be better for you.

Pool blankets

A standard pool blanket can help keep water warm if used in conjunction with a heating system. As well as keeping debris out of the water, the blanket traps in heat that would otherwise be lost on cold winter nights and can significantly cut your heating costs.

Steamy spas

Soaking in the spa or hot tub can be a fantastic way to warm you to the chilly bones. You can even enjoy a steamy spa in the rain. If you dare, jump into the cool pool for a swim, then back to the tub to warm up.

Take it inside

If you're serious about swimming, the best way to turn your back on gloomy winter days is indoors. While it can take some rearranging and serious planning, installing the pool undercover is a viable and popular option. Together with a spa and sauna, you can create a warm escape from the cold.
