Heating Your Swimming Pool
Heating your swimming pool is not only a great way to enjoy the water from early morning to night, but it also helps to lengthen your swimming pool season, helping you to get the exercise you need even when the weather gets colder. Rather than feeling lost about how best to heat your pool, take a look at our boiler advice to get the right solution with ease!
How Do Swimming Pool Boilers Work?
Swimming pool boilers are specially designed to heat your pool to the optimum temperature so that you can take a dip whatever the weather may be. Find out about the two most common swimming pool heating systems (gas and electric) to learn why gas boilers tend to be the top choice.
If you have a boiler that is gas-powered then it will work in the same way that a domestic boiler works by powering a heater with gas and sending the heated water directly into your pool. Gas boilers are the most popular heating source for swimming pool owners in the UK as they produce great results and have a lifespan of 15 years when properly serviced and maintained.
Electric heaters don’t work like gas, generating heat to warm the water. They take warm air and push it through an evaporator coil which then heats the water for you to use. This option tends to be less popular as it is a more complex system that can be hard to fix when things go wrong.
There are other pool heating solutions available too and the team at Rowlen would be happy to suggest the perfect fit for your pool when you get in touch.
Make Your Domestic Boiler Work for You with a Heat Exchanger
If you want to avoid installing a new boiler for your pool and are considering whether you can use your domestic boiler to do the job then the simple answer is yes. However, you will need to get a heat exchange installed by a professional to adapt the boiler to work for your pool.
This may be a good option when you only use your pool occasionally or when you avoid heating your pool until the weather gets too cold to swim without the warmth. Either way, the best way forward is to contact a registered boiler engineer to discuss your needs and find out if this solution is viable for you.
