Warm climates have more lenient heating demands. It’s possible to have too many BTUs for a pool, but in general, the bigger the better is the rule for cool climates. Look for gas heaters with as much heating capacity as possible. More heating means you’ll need a more powerful heater. Pools located in areas that get cold at night will simply need more heating. Regardless of the size of your pool and how you use it, where you live may be the deciding factor. More gentle heating needs, such as maintaining temperatures in warm weather, may be better suited to the abilities of an electric heater. Heating a pool quickly or during cool weather is best achieved by using a gas heater. Gas heaters, whether natural gas or propane, heat quickly using a large amount of fuel for short durations.
In general, electric heat pumps provide less heating capacity, but are good at maintaining water temperature for long periods. Determining the size of your pool and how you’ll use it will determine the needed BTUs.
Gas or electricity will power your pool heater. If you’re an avid pool cover user, you may get by using a smaller heater than if you tend to leave your pool exposed to the elements. For that, you’ll want a fast-heating, high-BTU generating heater. If you’re primarily a weekend swimmer, you will probably find yourself heating your pool only when you need it. This can be achieved by employing a small heater with low BTUs to run all the time. Using your pool daily versus just on weekends plays a role in the size and type of heater you’ll want.ĭaily pool use will likely mean that you’ll want to keep your pool at a desired temperature most of the time. Much of the decision about which heater is best for you hinges on how you’ll use it. Your habits and your lifestyle might even be a bigger factor than pool size. Be sure to consider both volume and the exposed surface area when deciding which pool heater will best fit your needs. Large pools with a lot of water surface exposed to the sun, wind, cold rain and evaporation have greater heating needs than do small, protected pools. On the other hand, when a large pool is being heated, the surface area is a much more important number to factor in than the pool’s volume in gallons. If you’re purchasing a pool heater to heat a small, above ground pool or spa, knowing the number of gallons you’re heating is vital in determining the amount of BTUs you’ll need. The volume of your pool may not be the most important part of the equation. It only makes sense that the amount of water you need to heat will play a role in how large a heater you’re going to need. Start the decision-making process by determining your needs based on the following factors. Choosing one to fit your pool and your lifestyle requires careful consideration.
