Pool Gas Heaters Melbourne

 Among the several types of heaters for swimming pool gas heaters Melbourne, the gas-fired pool gas heaters Melbourne seemed to be the most popular. Perhaps another reason for this is that the new models for gas-fired heaters have much higher efficiencies than the older models.

 

The drawback perhaps is that due to the frequency of use of your pool gas heaters Melbourne and depending on the climate, they don’t take the top spot in the most energy-efficient options. Compared to solar pool heaters and other heat pumps, the gas-fired heaters are lagging.

 

Power

 

Propane or natural gas is the usual fuel for gas pool heaters. The main process is that during operations, the pump circulates the pool’s water, the water is drawn from the pool and is passed to a filter and finally to the heater.

 

The gas burns in the combustion chamber of the system’s heater. The process generates the needed heat to run the circulating water. The heated water is transferred and returned to the main water reservoir in the pool and heats it up.

 

These gas-powered pool heaters can also be set to maintain any desired temperature regardless of the weather or climate, which the heat pump or the solar powered heaters cannot do.

 

Considerations

 

When you choose your gas heated swimming pool that you want to use, you need to consider the size of your pool, the efficiency of the heater and the important factor regarding cost.

 

A trained pool professional can do the proper sizing analysis for your particular swimming pool. This is to determine the size of the pool heater you need.

 

Sizing your pool

 

The pool heater is basically sized according to the surface area of the pool. This is to arrive at the difference between the pool and the average air temperatures.

 

Factors like the wind, humidity levels and the temperature on cool night can affect the heating load of your outdoor pool. (This is included in the computation.)

 

Those pools that are located in areas with higher average of wind speed, having lower humidity, and cool nights will need a larger heater. These three factors lower the temperature.

 

Efficiency

 

There is a standard test that the new models of swimming pool gas-powered heaters will go through. This is in order to determine their energy efficiency based on their BTU (British thermal unit) output.

 

These efficiency percentages for most gas-powered pool heaters are typically printed on their nameplates. There are some gas pool heaters with 89 to 95% efficiency these days.

 

Installation and maintenance

 

Your gas-powered pool heater can optimize its efficiency with proper installation and maintenance. It is best having a qualified pool professional to install your heating system.  They can also be relied on to perform complicated maintenance or repair tasks on your system.

 

You also need to tune up your pool heater annually to get best performance. (Read your owner's manual for a maintenance schedule and/or recommendations.) Also, scaling in the burner or heat exchanger may decrease efficiency over a period of time.
