Swimming pools are enjoyable additions to any home.
They are useful for cooling off during the hot summer temperatures and can also
be used in colder weather as well if equipped with a heater. Pool heaters heat
the pool's water to keep it more comfortable for swimming when the outside
temperature is cooler. While heaters are useful for this purpose, they require
maintenance to keep them performing optimally and severely cold temperatures
can damage them. Protecting your pool heater from damage requires regular carefulness.
Turn off your timer if the temperature
drops so water runs through the system 24 hours a day during the cold period.
The constantly moving water helps prevent freezing. Keep the heater on its
lowest setting.
Install and keep a thermometer in your
pool water at all times. This tells you the temperature of the water so you can
lower or turn off the heater whenever possible to increase the lifespan of its
components.
Perform an annual tune-up. Heaters benefit
from annual maintenance just like a car does. A technician can do an annual
maintenance service that will keep your heater healthy and running efficiently.
Cover the pool when it is not in use, the
heater doesn't have to work as hard to keep the water war, since much of the
existing heat remains trapped under the cover. This helps increase the lifespan
of the heater.
