Popular Gas-Fired Heaters

 

In many places, the gas-fired pool heaters are still the more popular heating system favored by pool owners. In relation to this, today’s new models of gas-fired heaters have much higher efficiencies compared to their older models.

 

Many are of the belief that the pool gas heaters Sydney is the fastest pool or spa heater. Depending on your climate and the frequency you are using your pool, however, they may not be the most energy-efficient options when compared to heat pumps and solar pool heaters.

 

The system

 

These pool heaters use either propane or natural gas to power it up. In the system, when the pump circulates the pool’s water, it is drawn from the pool itself. In turn, this is passed to a filter and onto the heater.

 

The gas burns in the combustion chamber of the heater. The process generates the heat to run the water into circulation. The heated water is then transferred and returned to the main reservoir in the pool to heat it up.

 

The gas-powered heaters are very efficient in heating the pools in a short period of time. They are ideal in heating the pool altogether very quickly.

 

Comparison

 

Comparatively, they are good for pools that are not being used on a regular basis, or pools where you want them to heat up fast enough to be used right away.

 

In addition, these pool gas heaters Sydney can be set to maintain any desired temperature regardless of the present weather or climate, which is actually unlike the heat pump or the solar pool heaters.

 

Size/efficiency/cost

 

There are several considerations when you choose your gas swimming pool heater that you want to use. The important ones are the size of your pool, the efficiency of the heater used and the total cost.

 

A pool professional can help you do your proper sizing analysis for your particular swimming pool, including how to determine the size of the pool heater, too.

 

Essentially, the pool heater is sized according to the surface area of the pool and the difference between the pool and the average of air temperatures.

 

There are other factors, too (wind exposure, humidity levels, and cool night temperatures) that affect the heating load of the outdoor pools and are included in the computation.

 

Larger heater is needed in pools located in areas with higher average wind speed at the pool surface, with lower humidity and cool nights. All of the three factors will lower the water temperature.

 

Standard test

 

The new models of the swimming pool gas heaters Sydney have a standard test. They need to go through this in order to determine their energy efficiency based on their BTU (British thermal unit) output.

 

The installation and the proper maintenance of your gas-powered pool heater can certainly optimize its efficiency. A qualified pool professional is the best person to install your heating system. They are also best when performing complicated maintenance or repair tasks on your system.

 

In time, you would need to tune up your pool heater (usually in annual basis).Remember that the scaling in the burner or in the heat exchanger can decrease efficiency after a period of time.

Sun Power in Action

 

By its name, the solar pool heating Sydney system gets its power through the use of solar energy. Its biggest advantage is the fact that it had been proved profitable in any climate, unlike some of its competitors.

 

The advantage is that the main principle in solar power is capturing solar energy and transforms this into a manageable power source. Solar energy can illuminate a house, powers computers, irrigate farms heats up swimming pools.

 

The energy’s potential is in its uses in domestic household chores, depending on the size and type of installations. For swimming pools, the ideal is to keep the water’s temperature within 5 to 10 degrees above the surrounding temperature.

 

Benefits

 

To pool owners, this system is well-known to virtually increase swimming time. There is no energy bills to think of or can increase.

 

The water temperatures are kept comfortable, the system is durable, and that this man-made system is environment-friendly. Basically, it is a system that uses the sun’s energy minus the additional electricity costs.

 

The solar pool heating Sydney makes it possible to enjoy swimming in your pool in months that are supposed to be cold. When in the past the pool can be used only from November to February, you can now extend that from as early as September all through to April.

 

How it works

 

It begins when the solar collector (polypropylene tubes) attracts solar radiation by heating the water that circulates through it.

 

Cold water enters through the system’s bottom and branches into tubes where it warms up. When the water heats up, it loses density and rise to the top of the system and returns to the pool because of the pressure from the recirculation pump.

 

Parts

 

In general, the water heaters used for this have to be incorporated with the components along with the pool’s existing pump and check value.

 

The solar pool heating Sydney catch the sun’s energy and helps in the circulation of the water via the pumps to be heated and returned to the pool. The filters are to ensure the water has no debris.

 

Other points

 

The other considerations in a solar heating system depend on the present climate in that area including the number of hours of exposure to sunlight in your home. The usual dimensions needed in the solar installation are equal to 50% and 100% of the size of your pool to be heated.

 

Not all places have the same requirements, however. Usually, there could be very small differences that could be tweaked to get the best decision. One other important consideration is the type of solar installation you had chosen.

 

This concerns the collectors with and without coverage. Those without covers are cheaper although those with covers have greater efficiency to capture heat. There is also a need to take into account the domestic use of clean energy.

 

Overall, the savings and the low maintenance cost are some of its big advantages. Before buying your solar pool heater, have the resources of your house evaluated to determine the efficiency of your system.
