Swimming Pool Heaters
There are two types of spa heaters; gas and electric, and two types of pool heaters; solar collectors and heat pumps. There are salesmen who might argue this delineation but it’s a simple comparison of their own literature to show that gas and electric heaters are too expensive to use on the pool, and solar collectors and heat pumps are too passive to properly heat a spa.

Additional Pool Heater Information
The two major types of pool heating are:
- Gas: There are two types of spa gas heaters, LP (Liquid Propane) and Natural Gas. If your neighborhood is supplied with a Natural Gas pipeline, this is the system to use. It’s the cheapest supply available and because delivery is constant, the most convenient. If there is no Natural Gas available, your only choice in gas is LP, delivered in a truck and pumped into a 300 gallon tank (leased) placed either above or below ground on your property. All of the old commercial pools in Central Florida were fitted with LP gas. Prior to ’73, it was cheap and everyone who owned a motel or apartment had to have a heater because everyone else had one. The gas crisis of that year changed the way we look at heating swimming pools.
- Electric: Electric heat is a little slower than gas (it may take 45 minutes to heat your spa, where a gas heater will do it in 20), and electric costs about 40% more to operate, but it saves you from having a gas tank near your home, irregular, winter gas deliveries, the hassle of a pilot light and the connecting underground copper gas line that will cross your mind every time you put a plant in the ground. On paper, the solar is the most cost efficient system to heat your pool. What they don’t like to talk about is the fact you’ll need minimum two inch plumbing on the suction side of your system (skimmer, main drain and vacuum lines) to support the larger pump you’ll need to push water 12 to 16 feet up to your roof to maintain your current water flow. Nor will you find any solid figures on water temperature enhancement.
- A pool heat pump, just like your air conditioner, depends on the freon cycle to do its job. This takes advantage of the fact that the boiling point of a liquid changes when pressure changes. Confused? Just follow along:
- Cool, high pressure liquid freon goes through the expansion valve which throttles the flow and allows the pressure to drop. As the pressure drops, the boiling point drops as well, and the liquid expands into a low pressure, low temperature wet vapor (a liquid/gas mixture where both are at the same temperature. The temperature drops because the liquid uses up heat energy to expand into a gas).
- The gas, whose temperature is now lower than the air temperature, moves through the inside of the evaporator. Heat is transferred from the now warmer air into the freon, boiling the remaining liquid.
- The now hot, low pressure gas enters the compressor. This adds heat, but more importantly, raising the pressure of the gas raises the boiling point higher than the temperature of your pool water.
- The temperature at which a liquid boils into a vapor is also the temperature at which the vapor condenses into a liquid. The temperature of your pool water is lower than the condensing temperature of the freon leaving the compressor. As the hot freon flows through the condenser, it gives up its heat to the pool water being circulated through it, and condenses back into a cool, high pressure liquid. The pool water is returned to the pool.
