Use a time clock to pre-set the exact hours you want your pool heated. Speak with the technician who services your pool to determine the minimum number of filtering hours required, based on your pool's size. Keep pool heating and cleaning equipment clean and lubricated. Inspect the heater annually for scale, mineral deposits, or corrosion. Pool and spa combos save energy because they share the same filtration and heating systems.
Size is an important consideration in selecting a pool heater.
Don't select a smaller heater on the initial cost alone. A larger heater may actually be more economical because a smaller heater will have to work longer and harder to heat the same size pool. Purchase a cover with your spa or pool. Covers are a worthwhile investment for almost every spa and pool owner.
