Pool Heating Melbourne
If the idea of diving into the deep all year round sounds like it’s right up your alley, have you considered installing pool heating Melbourne?
With the coolness in the air and the warmth fading from your swimming oasis, rather than pull the covers over, Sunsetter Pools is here to explain everything you need to know about pool heating Melbourne.
When it comes to pool heating Melbourne, you have a multitude of options to choose from including gas heaters, heat pumps, solar heaters, and thermal blankets. Before you get ready to jump in and start swimming laps in the pristine and inviting waters gracing your backyard, let’s dive a little deeper into what will work best for you.
Gas heating
Using gas to heat your pool is a viable option as it can heat the water quickly.
A gas pool heater works by using natural or propane gas to generate heat which is then transferred to the pool water. Gas heating is the most efficient choice of pool heater when you want to heat your pool quickly and for a short time.
Unlike pool heat pumps, gas pool heaters are not affected by the air temperature and are effective in all weather conditions, even rainy days!
Why choose Solar powered?
This is your most environmentally friendly option and all thanks to the power of the sun.
Using solar panels, either on the ground or a nearby roof, the panels capture heat from the sun to transfer to the pool water.
The water is pumped through the solar collectors, heated by the sun, and returned to the pool. Solar is a great low cost operating choice (after installation) as they help reduce energy bills. However, their ability to operate effectively can be impacted by the lack of sunshine!
Heat pumps
Heat pumps work on a heat transfer principle. To operate, they extract heat from the air and transfer it to the pool using electricity via a heat exchanger which warms the water as it flows through the pump and delivers back into the pool.
Thermal blankets
Thermal blankets, or solar covers, are an auxiliary method to retain heat in a pool rather than actively heating it.
You’ll find them floating on the surface of the water where they help retain sunlight so it can heat the pool.
While they do not actively generate heat themselves, they are a great tool in helping preserve heat so it stays in your pool, especially in those cooler months.
Don’t let cooler Melbourne temperatures decide when you can enjoy your pool.
With the right mix of heating and insulation, you can turn your backyard oasis into a year-round retreat for endless enjoyment and relaxation.
By using a combination of solar heating or a heat pump coupled with a thermal blanket, you can extend your swim season through the colder periods but you are also investing in a greener, more cost-effective approach to pool ownership
