Natural Gas Pool Heater

  • Recommended if your home is outfitted with Natural Gas
  • Rule of thumb - Take Pools Sqft. surface area / 3 to get "VERY MINIMUM" BTU size. Then go up a size. For super fast heating go up a size or two.
  • 100 to 200 BTU heaters - up to 300 sq ft
  • 200 to 300 BTU heaters - up to 500 sq ft
  • 300 to 400 BTU heaters - up to 800 sq ft
  • 400 to BTU heaters -up to 1200 sq ft
  • Gas pool heaters are extremely good at warming a pool quickly.
  • Gas usually experience fewer problems with wear and tear than electric heaters
  • Gas "usually" less expensive to purchase than electric pool heat pumps
  • Although the most expensive option, also the most reliable and fastest heating solution
Heat Pump

  • Heat Pump is electric and required no Natural Gas or Propane line
  • Recommendations for Heat Pumps. Measure from the coldest swim month of the year.
  • Size at 4 BTU's per gallon or 1 BTU per liter of water. To heat in normal summer conditions when ambient air temperature average 70F in a 24 hour period. ( Example: 20,000 Gallon pool would be 20k x 4 = 80,000 BTU )
  • Size at 5 BTU's per gallon or 1.3 to 1.5 BTU's per liter of water. To heat in normal spring and fall conditions when ambient air temperature average 60F in a 24 hour period. ( Example: 20,000 Gallon pool would be 20k x 5 = 100,000 BTU )
  • Size at 6 BTU's per gallon or 1.5 BTU's per litre of water. To heat in normal spring and fall conditions when ambient air temperature average less then 60F in a 24 hour period. ( Example: 20,000 Gallon pool would be 20k x 6 = 120,000 BTU )
  • Heat Pumps are energy efficient
  • Heat Pumps are Ineffective below 50 degrees Fahrenheit
  • Heat Pumps have lower operation costs
  • Heat Pumps are more Eco-Friendly - no combustion
  • Heat Pumps are more Durable long lasting
