The pump timer is set to operate during sunlight hours, usually 9am to 5pm. An Automatic Control and Valve are sometimes used to regulate temperature, usually in northern climates. Commercial pools and some larger residential pools may need a booster pump. Solar Pool Heaters are best for recreational pool use and are recommended for those who are comfortable with pool temperatures ranging from the mid 70's to the high 80's. Solar works year round in southern climates such as Florida.
Proper sizing is critical for good performance.
If you desire a particular temperature regardless of the outside weather conditions or you must swim for therapy, consider a Heat Pump Pool Heater . If you only use the pool occasionally, or are only heating a hot tub, consider a Gas Pool Heater . All rights reserved.
