Heating an outdoor pool
How do you heat an above ground, outdoor pool? What are the options?
Expert Trade Answers
"Solar Covers: These are large covers that harness the sun's energy to heat the pool water. They act as a passive solar heater.
Heat Pumps: These devices extract heat from the air and transfer it to the pool water. They are energy-efficient and work well in moderate climates.
Electric Heaters: These heaters use electricity to generate heat for the pool water. They are quick and efficient but can be more expensive to operate.
Gas Heaters: These heaters use natural gas or propane to heat the pool water rapidly. They are effective, especially for quickly raising the temperature.
Consider factors like cost, energy efficiency, and your specific climate when choosing the best option for heating your pool."

"Hi you have various options depends on the temperature you require the pool and the months of the years you intend on using.
the most common and popular ways are a gas boiler specially design to work alongside swimming pool equipment or a air source heat pump which recycles heat from the outside air and transfers it back to the pool"

"You have all the same options as a below ground pool. A heat source and a pump. The heat source can be a gas boiler, a wood burner or an air source heat pump."
