If you are considering purchasing a heater for your pool, you may be wondering if it’s worth the investment since we live in such a warm climate here in South Florida. The answer is yes! In order to get the most enjoyment out of your pool and be able to swim all year round, a pool heater is a great addition to your outdoor oasis.
There are several factors that can cause the water temperature of your pool to be less than ideal. During the fall and winter seasons, temperatures can dip into the 50s and 60s, causing your pool water to be chilly. Sunlight also plays a big role when it comes to water temperature. Pools that are well shaded or screened in will be significantly cooler than pools that get full, direct sunlight every day. Rain water can also affect the temperature of your pool water.
To keep your pool at a constant temperature, regardless of the air temperature and frequency of the rain, a pool heater is the perfect solution. Like the thermostat in your house, you can set the pool heater to any temperature that you prefer and it will maintain that temperature. If cool rain cools off the pool water, the heater will bring it back to the level you desire. If warm rain elevates the pool’s temperature, the pool heater will stay off until the water’s temperature dips below your setting.
Another reason why installing a new pool heater is a great investment is that it can add value to your home if you were to put it on the market, especially if you have any potential buyers that prefer their pool water to feel like a bathtub.
