All pool heaters, from the small 100 (100,000 btu) unit to the largest 405's (405,000 btu's of gas usage per hour) will heat your pool. The smaller heaters are slower to heat, and will operate more often to keep up with the output of larger heaters. Larger heaters are a small bit more efficient than the smaller pool heater units. Use of a pool cover to retain heat and installing fences or other wind* obstructions can reduce demands on the pool heater. If you are trying to heat a pool/spa combo, a 400 btu pool heater is usually used for fast (15 - 30 minutes) heat up of the spa.
Our variety of Outdoor Patio heaters create an inviting 18' - 20' circle of warmth raises outdoor temperatures 10° F- 25° F, empowering you to enjoy your back yard, patio, or pool deck much later into the fall, and earlier in the spring, than ever before. While they won't turn the dead of winter into a summer day, their adjustable temperature setting allows perfect control for a brisk evening barbecue, early morning coffee, or any other outdoor activity.
Add months to your swimming pool season with a heat pump from Pools Etc. With its lowest cost of operation, a heat pump is by far the most economical solution, especially with the current gas prices. We carry only the top manufactures such as AquaCal, Hayward, Raypak and more. Heat pumps work in all weather conditions, and can be easily plumbed into most filter and pump configurations.
