Finally being able to use the swimming pool is one of the highlights of the summer. A heated swimming pool will allow you to enjoy your pool at a comfortable temperature. Even on hot days you most likely require heat in your pool. The pool is warmed by burning fuel which is distributed through a heat exchanger and eventually on the water from the pool. Once this water is heated it is brought back to the pool. This increases the temperature of the entire swimming pool. The benefit to having a swimming pool heater is that you can make the most of the swimming season and take advantage of those cooler days and evenings.

Here are some general tips you can use to make sure your pool stays comfortable this summer:

1. Choose a properly sized heater for your pool. If you have a swimming pool heater that produces more BTUs, the water will heat much quicker.
2. Invest in a high quality pool cover. Did you know that not only will pool cover keep your heater protected from the elements but it will also reduce heat loss by as much as 50%? The cover should be used at night or whenever the pool is not in use. This helps retain the heat that was naturally gained during the day.
3. Keep a thermometer in the pool so you can always be aware what is the best temperature for you and your family
4. Lower the thermostat when the pool is not in use for three days or more to save on energy costs
5. Make sure that the heating system is well maintained and that the filter is clean
