Pool Heaters

Swimming Pool Water Heaters 

Want to enjoy your pool all year round? You’ll need a swimming pool heater to ensure the water stays warm and inviting, prolonging the swimming season as long as possible. 

Here at 1st Direct Pools, we are leading UK suppliers of heaters for outdoor pools and indoor pool ventilation products, so you’ll be sure to find a poolside heater that suits your needs.

Do I Need a Swimming Pool Water Heater? 

It probably comes as no surprise that most of us want to swim in water that’s on the warmer side. To get your pool water up to the desired temperature, you will almost certainly require a swimming pool water heater or heating system. There are several different options when it comes to choosing the right poolside heater. 

How to Heat Your Swimming Pool 

We offer various heaters for outdoor pools, including above-ground pool heaters, heating systems that are more energy-efficient and eco-friendly, as well as heaters that are extremely durable and require minimal maintenance. 

If cost efficiency is your main concern, either a swimming pool heat pump or a solar heater might be the best option for you. Check out our guide to swimming pool heat pumps to find out more. 

How to Heat Your Outdoor Pool Water Without a Heater

For this, you’ll certainly have to turn to the power of the sun. Along with solar panels or solar pods, you can also get solar swimming pool covers that will help retain heat and radiate it into the water.

Use our handy solar cover calculator to find out how much a solar cover would cost for your pool. 

How to Install a Swimming Pool Heater

While the average pool owner can perform an array of pool maintenance tasks, when it comes to installing a pool heating system, it’s best to get a professional’s help. Pool heaters are very technical and must be installed to the manufacturer’s instructions. An experienced pool engineer will be able to ensure water flow, pressure and direction are all correct.

All service connections (electricity, gas and oil) must only be connected by a fully qualified technician to ensure they are in line with any relevant regulations. If installation is incorrect, you could damage the heater and even endanger life.

Please note that warranties will be processed once equipment has been partly or fully installed without our fully completed warranty request form.
