Different types of pool heating systems

Author: Elisa Rovini -- March 13, 2023

Heat pump, electric heater, solar energy... There are several ways to heat your pool, each one with its own advantages and disadvantages. Common methods include : 

1. Heat pump

This system uses a compressor to pump heat from the surrounding air to the pool water. It is generally an aconomical choice for warm climates, and is suitable for all climate zones. The benefits of a heat pump include low operating costs, high energy perdormance and efficient heating of the pool water. 



2. Electric heater 

This system uses electric resistance heaters to generate heat and transfer it to the pool water. It is generally cheap to buy, but can be expensive to operate over a long period of time. 

3. Solar heating

This system uses solar panels to heat the pool water. It is environmentally friendly and not very expensive, however it may not be sufficient on its own to heat the pool in cold weather conditions. It is often used to heat above ground pools. 



4. Heat exchanger 

This system uses a heat exchanger to transfer heat from the outside air to the pool water. It usually is an efficient choice for warm climates, but may be less efficient in colder temperatures. Beware, however, that it can be energy consuming. 

5. Gas heating 

This system uses natural gas or propane to produce heat and transfer it to the pool water. It is usually more efficient than electric heating, but can be expensive to purchase and operate. 



Ultimately, it is important to consider several factors, such as the weather conditions in your area, the size of your pool and your budget, when choosing the most appropriate heating system for your pool. It is best to consult a professional in order to decide which system would work best for you. 

Mazda Pool heat pumps are more economical, will allow you to optimize the performance of your system and reduce your heating costs.
