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.
