Options for Heating Your Pool
All methods of heating pools and spas introduce heat into the water. This can be done in several ways, but the most common options utilize heaters or heat pumps:
Gas Heater
Gas heaters are the most popular equipment for heating pools. They are ideal for quickly and efficiently heating any pool.
Hayward Universal H-Series pool heaters are the most efficient heating solution for any pool or spa. They utilize a cupro nickel heat exchanger for value, performance, and reliability. Universal H-Series achieves up to 18-percent savings by reducing pump run time. In addition, they offer excellent salt water and chemical corrosion resistance.

Electric Spa Heater
Electric spa heaters quickly heat the water in your spa. They fit in compact spaces and don’t require a gas connection.
Hayward electric spa heaters offer all of the sophisticated features and capabilities of heaters twice their size. They feature a stainless steel tank and they are easy to install and convenient to service.
Heat Pump
Heat pumps work by transferring heat from the environment to the pool water using electricity. They have a higher initial cost than gas heaters, but are more energy efficient in the long run. Heat pumps are a good choice for maintaining a pool at a set temperature, but they are sensitive to climate variability.
Did You Know? Heat pumps can also cool your pool.
Hayward Summit XL heat pumps and HeatPro heat pumps quietly and economically maintain the ideal water temperature for the ultimate in comfort. They are high performance, energy efficient units with the industry’s only Ultra Gold corrosion resistant evaporator fin. They are also compact and lightweight, allowing for easy installation and servicing on new or existing pools.
Expert Tip! Whatever equipment you choose, be sure to have your heater or heat pump checked and maintained on at least an annual basis by your local pool pro.

Enhancing the Effect of Your Pool Heater
