With the warm, sunny weather we enjoy through much of the year, a swimming pool is a common sight in many backyards. In the cooler months, though, pool water can become too cold to enjoy. To solve that and let you swim year-round, a pool heater can be included in your pool design. But what if you already have a pool installed? Can a pool heater be added after the fact Here's what you need to know.

What to Consider When Adding a Heater to an Existing Pool

In short, converting a regular swimming pool to a heated pool is absolutely possible. Whether you have an in-ground or above-ground pool, you can add a pool heater that keeps the water warm so you can enjoy it year-round. To choose the right one, keep a few things in mind:

● Type of Pool Heater: There are electric heat pumps, solar-powered heaters, and natural gas or propane heaters. The right type depends on your preferences and the fuel options available at your home.

● Pool Heater Cost: In addition to the cost of the heater itself, consider how much it will cost to keep it running. A heat pump is energy-efficient, for example, but is not particularly effective in cold temperatures.

● Size of Pool Heater: Make sure the heater you choose can adequately heat the entire pool, which depends on the size and volume of your pool.

Installation of Your Pool Heater

Beyond choosing a heater, installation is another critical consideration. While handy homeowners may be able to install one themselves, this is often a job best left to professionals. Adding a heater to an existing pool involves plumbing, electrical work, and more, making it a complicated process. At PURE, we offer professional pool heater installation and can help you choose the type of heater most appropriate for your needs and pool use.
