Can a lazy spa heater heat my swimming pool?
no you need a stronger heater specifically designed for a swimming pool
What is the difference between a pool heater and a heater pump?
Heat pump pool heaters use electricity to capture heat. As the pool pump circulates the water, it is drawn from the pool and through a filter and into the heat pump heater. The heater itself has a fan that pulls in outside air and pushes it over the evaporator coil. At this point liquid refrigerant in the evaporator coil absorbs the heat from the outside air converting it into a gas. The gas is then passed through the compressor where it increases the heat. This very hot gas is then sent through the condenser where the hot gas is transferred to the cool pool water circulating through the heater. The heated water is then returned to the pool. A pool heater on the other hand uses the gas directly to heat the water by fueling the combustion chamber.
How many degrees will your heat pump raise the temp of your pool?
i have a 5ft pool and have a intex 3kw heater how long will it take to heat pool to a good swimm tempature
What size BTU pool heater to heat a 10000 gallon above ground pool?
130000 btu
How does a pool heater work?
A pool heater typically uses either gas or electricity to generate heat, which is then transferred to the pool water through a heat exchanger. The heated water is circulated back into the pool to raise the overall temperature. The heater can be adjusted to maintain a desired temperature setting for the pool.
How big of a pool heater is needed to heat 18000 gallons?
400k btu
What does the solar pool covers offer?
Thermal pool covers prevent water from evaporating. They help in locking the heat in the pool. So, the water stays hot for longer time. Unlike regular pool covers, thermal pool covers are made of special thermoplastic material, which attracts sun rays. So, the cover functions as solar heater and warms up the water using natural solar energy. So, thought you spend a little more for thermal pool covers, they help in saving electricity and water bills in the long run.
What are four different kinds of heat source?
The sun, pool heater, microwave, fireplace
What is the temperature of a heated pool?
The answer will depend on where in the world the pool is.
Why would the swimming pool heater get hot but not warm the pool water?
Some pool heaters have an internal bypass valve that improves efficiency by limiting the amount of water flowing through the heat exchanger. These can stick so that water flow mostly bypasses the heat exchanger...the heater gets hot but very little heat is transferred to the pool.Other answerers have suggested the following:Your airflow over the pool is cooling the water even as it is being heatedYou may not be running the pool pump long enough. Is the heater not maintaining temp? Is the thermostat turned up? Is the filter clean? When was the last time it was back washed or cleaned?You may be using the wrong size heater for your pool and the water to heat ratio that your heater is made to work with may be out.
If you set pool heat pump at temperature above the temperature you want will the pool heat up quicker For example setting it at 100 when you want pool at 80 quick?
Setting the pool heat pump at a temperature above the desired temperature will not make the pool heat up quicker. The heat pump works by maintaining the water at the set temperature, so setting it higher will only cause it to overshoot the desired temperature, resulting in wasted energy. It's more efficient to set the heat pump at the temperature you want the pool to be.
What brands of pool heaters are available?
The most popular pool heater is Heatpro heaters and another popular choice is Sunzak. Both heat up the pool at night by using a solar heat catching device during the day that disperses the heat at night.
