Pool Heaters Well, its that time of the year when most pool owners are turning off their heaters since it is warming up.  However, we live in the desert and so do lots of little critters.  Remember to run your heater at least 10-15 minutes every week.  The extreme heat keeps the critters away and when you want to use it this fall, your equipment will have a better chance of not being damaged.
Solar Swimming Pool Heaters You can significantly reduce swimming pool heating costs by installing a solar pool heater. They're cost competitive with both gas and heat pump pool heaters, and they have very low annual operating costs. Actually, solar pool heating is the most cost-effective use of solar energy. How They Work Pool water is pumped through the solar collector(s), that are installed on the roof, where it is heated before it is returned to the pool. Our system features a solar thermostat that links your new solar system and your pool heater together to heat the pool and spa to your desired temperature.   As a rule of thumb, we tell our customers that they can expect the solar system to heat the spa and pool up to 15 degrees above the resting temperature of the water.   So the solar would be primary to heat the pool and spa and once it peaks out, the gas pool heater would be activated to heat the rest of the way to your target temperature.
