Pool maintenance can be a hard
project to do. It involves meticulous planning and creativity. You have to
ensure that you will be having the most-value adding maintenance for your pool.
Sometimes, to upgrade their pool, people add pool heaters. Pool heaters are
common equipment to add especially if fall or winter is coming. Here are the
types of pool heaters that can be helpful in doing your pool maintenance.
The first type of pool heater that
you may consider for your pool maintenance is the electric resistance heater.
Its name implies that electricity is used to produce heat. The process involves
heating a resistor by passing a current through it. By convection, water
receives the heat from the resistor while the resistor cools. This cyclic
process goes on as long as you want the heating process to happen. Electric
resistance pool heater needs high supply of energy. It is better to use
electric resistance pool heaters when you have a smaller pool like portable
spa, bathtubs, or therapy tubs/pools. The main advantage of electric resistance
pool heater is its cost and energy efficiency. Among the three types, electric
resistance pool heaters are the least expensive to purchase—but installation
and operational costs are different matters. Also, since it uses electricity,
it does not emit harmful gases or by-products thus making it environmentally
friendly.
The second type of pool heater is
the gas heater. This type is advantageous, especially if you are aiming for the
greatest upgrade in your pool maintenance project, because it can heat your
pool quickly. Gas heaters involve chemical combustion of propane or a natural
gas. The heat produced from the burning process is conducted through copper
coils. The coils are in contact with the water thus heating the surrounding
water. Gas pool heaters are the commonly used pool heaters because of their
longevity and low purchasing cost. Although gas pool heaters are popular, the
least known fact about them is that they are not eco-friendly.
The last type of pool heater is
the heat pumps. Heat pump pool heaters are best for your pool maintenance
because of their low operational cost and high energy efficiency. Although heat
pumps have high purchasing and installation cost, they are money-smart because
of their long lifespan. There are two classifications of heat pump pool
heaters. One is the air-source heat pump which uses air as the heat source and
the other is geothermal heat pump which uses water to generate heat.
These are the common types of pool
heaters. Some are still being developed and gaining popularity—just like the
solar heaters. You just have to ensure that you stick to your objectives in
doing pool maintenance. In doing so, you will not have a hard time choosing the
best type of pool heater. You will also be able to ensure that you will be
having the best purchase for your money.
