Gas-fired pool heaters remain a popular choice for heating swimming
pools.
Today you can find new gas-fired heater models with much higher
efficiencies than older models. Still, depending on your climate and
pool use, they may not be the most energy-efficient option when
compared to heat pump and solar pool heaters. |

How They Work
Gas pool heaters use either natural gas or propane. As the pump
circulates the pool's water, the water drawn from the pool passes
through a filter and then to the heater. The gas burns in the
heater's combustion chamber, generating heat that transfers to the
water that's returned to the pool.
They're most efficient when heating pools for short periods of
time, and they're ideal for quickly heating pools. Therefore, gas
pool heaters can be a good choice for pools that aren't used on a
regular basis. Unlike heat pump and solar pool heaters, gas pool
heaters can maintain any desired temperature regardless of the
weather or climate |

Installation and Maintenance
Proper installation and maintenance of your gas pool heater can
optimize its efficiency. It's best to have a qualified pool
professional install the heater and even perform complicated
maintenance or repair tasks.
Read your owner's manual for a maintenance schedule and/or
recommendations. You'll probably need to tune up your pool heater
annually. Also, scaling in the burner or heat exchanger may decrease
efficiency over a period of time.
With proper installation and maintenance, gas pool heaters typically
last five or more years.
