Heating

Here at enter we recommend two types of solar pool heating. Both should be used in conjunction with a thermal blanket.

Heat Pumps (can extend your swimming season to 12 months) Using a relatively small amount of electricity heat pumps can heat a standard pool all year round at a cost about 40% cheaper than natural gas and around 75%cheaper than LPG. Heat pumps make a lot of sense for the environment if you subscribe to Green Power.Solar Heating ( can extend your season in the southern states up to an 5-6 month period)Solar pool heaters are one of the simplest methods of solar heating. A large area of unglazed pipes (we recommend Sunbather HiPEC this is a thermoplastic not a cheap rubber which tends to break down due to sunlight and pool chemicals) is positioned on the north facing side of the roof, pool water is pumped through the collector gaining heat from the sun as it travels through the plastic piping. A relatively large area of piping, typically 80%-100% of the surface area of the pool, is required.
