The first point is to be clear if you want to heat the pool all year round or just extend the season and at the same time know how many degrees we would like to have the pool water at.
2- Carry out a thermal study of the pool
Before purchasing a device to heat pool water, it is highly recommended that a technician perform a thermal study to determine the necessary equipment that meets the relevant needs.
- Observe very carefully the characteristics of the southern zone, northern zone, if the sun hits location zone according to the pool house to determine the consumption of the device.
- In the thermal study we will also assess the pool size.
- We will consider whether it is an indoor pool or not.
- We will study according to the area, climate, etc. the possible heat losses from the pool by: evaporation, convection, conduction and radiation.
- Later, we will analyze all the range of possibilities offered by the market to heat pool water y We will analyze the consumption costs of the devices.
3- Analyze which equipment is most convenient for the air conditioning of your pool
- Previously, broadly speaking, We will have to opt for the option of heating the pool with electric energy (which rapidly increases the temperature without any external climatic factor in the environment but involves a cost of electricity).
- O Maybe we will choose an option to heat the pool water with solar energy (conditioning the method to climate factors).
- On the other hand, to begin evaluating the equipment, We will detail the consumption costs of the different devices.
- Later, we will inform you about device connectivity, which must be attached to the pool pump or purifier easily and safely.
- On the other hand, study heating capacity and speed that the device has to heat and increase the temperature of all the liters of water in the pool (in this case the capacity of the pool pump itself will also influence). All this will make us aware of the time it will take to heat the pool water.
- Verify that the device is not damaged over time, for example with pool chemicals or that is not easily vulnerable to corrosion.
- Lastly, choose a trusted brand to ensure that the product will have a warranty and spare parts on the market (in this case we cannot play with poor quality since we could find that in the long run the device will be damaged by chemicals, that corrosion will appear...)
Recommendations for habituating the room where you heat pool water
- First of all, do a thermal study of the pool.
- Also, carry out a study of the possible heat losses of the pool to be heated.
- On the other hand, to do good pool maintenance when heating pool water the room must be isolated duly.
- Then maintain a temperature of the room adequate.
- And, furthermore, it is preferable that this space contains airtight enclosures.
- Likewise, conditioned thermal insulation also helps a lot.
- And finally, obviously, the renewal of air and the presence of a dehumidifier.
- Then maintain pool water temperature adequate.
- Then invest in a pool heat pump (or other heating equipment) high performance.
- And the last step would be to invest in pool covers, Such as pool thermal blanket.
NOTE: to avoid losing water, maintain the water temperature and lower the air temperature (note that it is even more important when the pool is not used).

Therefore, we tell you about the different pool heating systems that exist to be able to heat your pool.
Options in the pool heating system
1st option in the pool heating system
Thermal blankets
Thermal blankets economical pool heating system
This heating system is one of the most economical when investing in pool heating.
Next, if you want, you can find out more on our specific page thermal pool blankets.
Thermal blanket operation
The operation of the thermal blanket is very simple. It simply has to be installed on the waterline of the pool. It should be tight to the walls so that the water does not lose temperature.
Main disadvantage Thermal blankets
Their main disadvantage is that they start working after the start of the season, when the outside temperature begins to be higher.
They are usually installed to maintain the heat of water that has been heated by other HVAC devices, making it more economical.
2nd option in the pool heating system
Electric pool heater
Electric heaters are used to heat pool water using electrical energy. In addition, electric pool heaters heat and maintain pool water with a great quality/price ratio.
Features of the air conditioning system with electric pool heater

Electric pool heater: second air conditioning system that requires less economic investment
It is the second air conditioning system that requires less economic investment. Its installation is very simple since you simply have to connect it to the return tube on your filtration equipment.
The electrical power required is related to the volume in cubic meters (m3) of the pool:
- 3 kW for 20 cubic meter pool
- 6 kW for 40 cubic meter pool
- 9 kW for 60 cubic meter pool
- 12 kW for 80 cubic meter pool
- 18 kW for 120 cubic meter pool
Electricity consumption is equal to power consumption. That is, the 3 kW one consumes 3000 W. Although this type of heaters are in themselves more economical, the high electricity consumption they entail makes them less profitable. However, the performance is not bad at all since they are capable of heating approximately 1ºC for each hour of operation.
To install a heat pump, we must take into account some small suggestions to ensure its correct operation:
- The equipment must be located outside the technical room and must be at the lowest height above the pool water level.
- There are other ways of installation without having to connect it to the filtration system, such as the Easy Connect system:
3st option in the pool heating system
Pool heat pump
Pool heat pumps are devices that heat the water in swimming pools. and that are responsible for distributing said heat throughout the total volume of the water, to generate an adequate temperature and enjoy the water at any time of the year.
Pool heat pump: best pool water heating system
Our recommendation for heat the pool: Pool covers or pool cover (maintains the water temperature) + pool heat pump (heats the water).
Heat pump: air conditioning with better performance coefficient
Air conditioning thanks to a bomba de calor It is the most recommended since it has a higher COP (coefficient of performance) than previous systems.
They can absorb 80% of the energy from the air to heat pool water with minimal electrical consumption. Therefore, the energy it generates is a maximum of five times the energy consumed, which means that a 50 cubic meter pool will cost us about 2 euros per day.
