A common complaint that is often made about outdoor pool heaters is that they typically can't withstand the elements, especially those that are in wet and cold climates. Regardless of how weather resistant they claim to be, there always comes some type of weather that they just can't handle. However, not all pool heaters are so susceptible to the elements.

If these characteristics haven't persuaded you to take a good look at this heater, then perhaps this will: this model is rated as top in its class in energy efficiency, ensuring that you won't be stuck with large gas bills when heating your pool.

Installing a pool or spa heater can sometimes be a challenge, especially for those who have only a limited amount of space next to their pool or spa. Large heaters can get in the way, or run the risk of being located too close to the water, which can carry its own risks with it. Having a small, versatile heater is what most people want, and that's exactly what the Hayward H150FDN Universal H-Series Pool and Spa Heater. This pool and spa heater features a compact design that makes it easy to fit in any corner or crevice where it can be kept out of the way.

This heater features a standard cupro nickel heat exchanger that maximizes the heating efficiency, and the patented polymer header and bypass valve also offer the upmost in reliability. This unit was also designed to meet or exceed air quality emission standards with its low NOx emissions, keeping it environmentally friendly. Anyone in need of a pool heater that is both versatile and reliable will find much to like with this model.

When people think of electric pool heaters, they usually have several concerns, the top ones being that they are underpowered while also consume too much electricity. This has been a common complaint about electric pool heaters in the past, and for good reason, but thankfully not all models have those characteristics. One such that defies the common complaint about electric pool heaters is the FibroPool FH055 Pool Heat Pump. This pool heater is designed to work well with both above ground and in-ground pools with a volume of 14,000 gallons, or a surface area of up to 450 square feet. It also works with both fresh and salt water. This makes it a quite powerful, especially for an electric heater, and versatile model suitable for most any types of pools. 

The secondary concern that pool owners have about electric heaters, namely that they consume too much electricity, is also easily addressed by this model. Requiring only 17 Amps of power, this model proves that electric heaters can be both powerful and friendly to your electric bill, with it even earning the US Dept of Energy Top level energy efficiency rating. What's more this heater is quite easy to install, with installation taking no more than 30 minutes. Anyone who wants or needs an electric pool heater that defies the old preconceptions about them will be sure to love this model.

Many pool owners would certainly love to have a pool warmer or heater, but the added expenses associated with most of them can be quite prohibitive. Both gas and electric heaters tend to be pricey, and that's not to mention the gas or electricity costs associated with operating them. The perfect solution to these concerns, of course, is to use a solar powered pool heater, such as the SolarPoolSupply 4'x12', 2" Header Solar Pool Heater. This solar powered heater is quite affordable, and is able to sufficiently heat small to medium sized pools. What's more, there are virtually no maintenance or operational costs associated with it, as it performs its heating entirely by solar power.

This model is quite easy to install, as the solar panels can be easily placed on the roof of any home or pool house, and it can be connected to your existing pump and filtration system without any problems. The heating efficiency of this model is also quite good, and what's more, it can be aided by adding more solar panels to the system, increasing the amount of water that is heated. Those who would love to extend their swimming season at a very affordable cost should be quite happy with this solar powered pool heating system.
