Energy-efficient Heating Options For Your Swimming Pool

Heating your swimming pool can be expensive–it takes a lot of energy to raise the temperature of a large volume of water to a comfortable level, especially in colder parts of the U.S. However, there are a number of lower-cost ways by which you could heat your swimming pool and cut your heating bill.

Heat pumps make use of the heat outside the pump rather than using energy to create heat. They use electricity to pull in warm air and, by a process of heat transference, create hot gas within coils that heat the pool’s water. This is great for swimming pools in hot climates.

Black pool tiles. If you are building a new inground swimming pool, consider black or dark-colored swimming pool tiles for the bottom of the pool. These absorb heat from the sun and you might be surprised how much they can raise the temperature of your pool.

Use a solar pool cover at night to preserve as much of the swimming pool’s heat as possible.

With an energy-efficient swimming pool heating system, you can enjoy your swimming pool for longer without worrying about the environment or the cost.
