Advantages of heating your pool

The right water temperature

Sometimes, getting into the water can be a challenge. Especially early in the morning when the sun is not yet at its highest, the water in your pool can be cold. In addition, it is important to bear in mind that the water temperature drops as the water is purified and thanks to the filtration and cleaning systems.

This is why many families look for pool heaters to avoid unpleasant sensations when they go swimming, as the sun does not usually heat the pool water sufficiently. In fact, it can generate a colder sensation when in contact with the water if the ambient temperature is very high, due to the contrast.

Therapeutic and sporting benefits

Swimming can be considered a therapy for our cardiovascular system. Water has health benefits as well as being considered a means of relaxation.

Swimming is a sport for all ages that can benefit us. If we dedicate our mornings to swimming a few lengths, it can help us to notice improvements in certain muscles. But the water is usually a bit cold in the mornings, so sometimes it is difficult to get in and we use it as an excuse to put it aside.

To prevent this from happening, the best solution is to install a heating system in the pool. This way, the water will have a pleasant temperature from first thing in the morning and you will be able to do exercises that improve your well-being.

Longer usage time

Another advantage of having a pool heater installed is the idea of being able to extend your swimming season. The swimming pool season is usually around 3 or 4 months, depending on the climate of the area. However, if we add a system to heat the water, we can extend this time up to 6 months or even all year round, depending on the weather conditions.

This way, even if it is not summer, you will be able to have a family bath without having to spend cold in the water. It is a good way to extend the season and amortize the pool in the months that are not so warm.

Easy installation

The first and most important thing to keep the water as warm as possible (and also to prevent dirt from getting into the pool) is to buy and use a thermal pool cover. This cover is very easy to put on when no one is swimming. It can be put on manually on the surface of the pool or thanks to a pool roller, both for above-ground and in-ground pools.

The heating systems that are usually used in swimming pools do not require a great deal of complexity when it comes to installation. Traditional heat pumps can be installed outside the pool as long as they are located in a ventilated area.

The heat pump generates the heat for the pool water from the air, it has to be connected in a by-pass with the filtration system so that the water circulates in the heating system.

Another type of heating system that is easy to install is solar heating. This is placed outside the pool and is powered by sunlight to heat the water. The more the heating system is exposed to the sun, the more effective it will be in providing a more comfortable temperature for the pool water.

Solar heating consists of solar panels that are attached to the pool using hoses, making installation very easy and quick, without the need for an expert. It is also a system that does not require any extra cost and it is an ecological way of keeping the water warm.

As you can see, installing a heating system to increase the temperature of your pool can have many advantages. GRE would like to encourage you to take a look at all the options so that you can choose the one that suits you best. This way, you will be able to enjoy your pool with your loved ones for longer.
