Swimming pool heaters are a great way to warm your pool water up to the perfect temperature at times when the cool nights of spring would usually keep your pool water too cold to enjoy. A swimming pool heater works by burning fuel to create heat which is passed through a heat exchanger and on to water drawn from your swimming pool. The water, now considerably warmer, is then reintroduced to the swimming pool, raising the overall temperature. This process makes a pool heater a great way to extend your swimming pool season and provide heat on demand at the times you need it most.

Swimming pool heaters are rated as to their output in a measurement known as BTUs or British Thermal Units. 1 BTU is capable of raising the temperature of 1 lb of water by 1 degree Fahrenheit. Therefore the more BTUs a pool heater produces the faster it will heat the water in your swimming pool. Because swimming pools come in all shapes and sizes and are located in many different climates it is necessary to calculate the number of BTUs necessary to heat your swimming pool according to your specifications in order to select the appropriate pool heater.
When selecting a pool heater for your pool you will always want to select a heater rated somewhat higher than your pool surface area and desired temperature rise require. There is no such thing as oversizing a pool heater. The larger the BTU output of the pool heater you buy the quicker it will heat your pool. This means less run time on the heater and a longer overall heater life span You will always be glad you opted for the larger pool heater.
Avoiding problems with your pool heater – A few reminders
Swimming pool heaters are a wonderful addition to the swimming pool area due to their ability to warm pool water to an inviting temperature, allowing you to utilize the swimming pool comfortably more than ever before. Accomplishing the following tasks will help you to avoid problems with pool heaters and get the maximum life out of any pool heater you buy:

Size your pool heater appropriately. Remember a pool heater can never be too big, but buy a pool heater that isn’t big enough and you’ll never be satisfied.
Monitor pH closely. pH is probably the single biggest problem pool owners face with regard to pool cleaners and pool equipment in general. A pH level that is too low (acidic) will cause corrosion, and a pH level that is to high (base) will cause mineral deposits that could potentially clog your pool heater’s plumbing.
Maintain correct flow rate Backwashing your swimming pool filter or washing out the cartridge occasionally will ensure that enough water gets to your pool heater for it to function efficiently.
Protect your investment with a pool heater cover!
Allow appropriate clearance around the pool heater. This will be specified in your owners manual.
