Advances in pool heating technology have made the cost of solar pool heaters competitive with the more traditional gas-fired and electric heat pump systems. Solar swimming pool heaters have very low operating cost since they do not use a purchased energy source to supply heat to the pool water, but instead gather the free radiant heat energy of the sun. The minimal cost to operate a solar heater are attributable only to the electricity used to power the circulating pump.
Solar heating systems consist of a solar collector, a filter, a pump and a flow control valve. The solar collector is actually Read the rest of this entry »

Gas heaters can also elevate the pool water temperature more than swimming pool heat pumps and solar heaters when this is required for the elderly, children, people with special needs and others that cannot tolerate a lower temperature pool water.
