Above Ground Pool Gas Heaters
Gas heaters for the above ground pools have improved in their efficiency but the gas prices increasing in recent times may have counteracted a bit of that savings. Gas heaters designed for above ground pools rarely use pilot lights. They usually use induced draft systems with electronic ignitions where the air is pushed through the system with a fan. This eliminates flameouts from gusts of wind and dispenses the exhaust without the need for a shaft rising up from the heater.
Also remember that your heater may require annual servicing. Please refer to the owner's manual for particular instructions from the manufacturer. Water passes through small copper tubes in the heat exchanger for most above ground swimming pool heaters. An improperly balanced water can degrade the sensitive copper in the gas fired pool heat exchanger.
Above Ground Pool Solar Heaters
These panels are very large and are often placed on the roofs of houses facing south. The more surface area of solar panels you have the greater temperature your pool can achieve from the sun. Solar heater systems can cool your pool if you run water through them when it's cloudy, cool, raining or times other than mid day but an electronic valve usually solves this problem by only sending water to the solar panels when they are having a positive effect on the temperature of the pool. Solar heating units cost are a bit higher than gas heaters but are free to use. They can last a long time as they are quite durable and repairs on some models are relatively easy.
