The most popular and fastest working pool heaters run on gas and propane. These pool heaters can operate on your natural gas supply or propane tank. They are highly energy efficient because you can control precisely the amount of gas you are using. Thermostats also make these pool heaters worry free.
Another option for pool heaters are heat pumps. Heat pumps are cheaper and cleaner because they use a compressor to cycle natural air. Solar pool heaters are also becoming increasingly popular. Although the cost of solar pool heaters might initially outweigh the other methods, it will be much less expensive in the long run with the absence of fuel costs.
Solar covers and solar blankets, though not effectively active as solar pool heaters, do a good job of preventing evaporation from the surface of the water, which slows the cooling process. While they do help retain heat, they do not actually raise the temperature of the water. See the articles below to find out more about pool heaters.
