What Are The Most Important Factors When Choosing a Pool Heater?
First and foremost, a pool heater is a long-term investment. The most important factors to consider are • Initial price (including installation): Did you know that some fossil fuel heaters such as natural gas heaters, though the heater is lower priced than a heat pump, can cost $1000 to $2000 more to install than a heat pump? • Operating costs: Did you know that fossil fuel heaters (natural gas, propane and oil fired) cost 4-5 times more to heat your pool than a heat pump? See our Heating Cost Calculator for details. • Ease of operation and maintenance • Product life expectancy: Did you know that the life expectancy of a heat pump is twice that of a fossil fuel heater? • Attractive, durable design • Operating cost trends which demonstrate that a heat pump is a significantly smarter investment now than it was several years ago and which indicate that the operating cost savings in the future will continue to make a heat pump an even better choice in the future. Look to your pool dealer to give you the proper pool heating solutions. More and more dealers and pool owners are choosing heat pumps.

What Is A Swimming Pool Heat Pump and How Does It Compare To Other Pool Heaters?
A swimming pool heat pump removes "FREE HEAT" from the air and transfers it to the freon via an evaporator. The heated freon passes through the heat exchanger where the heat is transferred to the pool water. The main reason heat pumps are becoming so popular is that they are efficient and effective, offering very significant operating costs savings compared to fossil fuel heaters while being environmentally friendly.

Why Are Leading Pool Dealers Choosing Heat Pumps?
They WORK!! Pool owners want them because:
o Heat pumps save them money (lots of it)
o Heat pumps are safe and easy to operate
o Heat pumps last longer than fossil fuel heaters
o Heat pumps give them warm water affordably, throughout the season, whenever they want it

What Are The Effects Of Recent Increased Energy Costs On Pool Heating?
Recent increases in electric, natural gas and propane prices make AquaComfort heat pumps an even better choice than before. Because of the inherent efficiency advantage of an Aqua Comfort heat pump, electric rates would have to rise 3-4 times faster than the cost of natural gas and 4-5 times faster than propane to have an equivalent net dollar effect on your pocketbook. Long term, electric rates are forecast to be stable with lower costs in the near future, in many areas, due to the end of restrictions that have limited residential competition. For a historical perspective click here to see how pool heating costs have changed since 2000.

Should A Solar Blanket Be Used?
It is not necessary to use a solar blanket. Because the AquaComfort is so much more efficient than competitive heat pumps it can effectively heat pools that the competition can't. Many pool owners, particularly those with free form pools, effectively heat their pools with AquaComfort without a solar blanket. The regular use of a solar blanket will eliminate evaporative heat loss and can reduce heating costs by as much as 50%.

Will The AquaComfort Ever Need More Freon?
No. Unless the AquaComfort has a leak in the sealed refrigeration system, the factory charge of freon should last for the life of the unit. Freon is very stable and should not degrade or breakdown even under severe operating conditions.

Are Aqua Comfort Heat Pumps Environmentally Friendly?
Yes. The use of an Aqua Comfort pool heater instead of a fossil fuel pool heater will reduce CO2 emissions (the major cause of global warming) by 85-95%, making an Aqua Comfort pool heater an environmentally smart decision for now and for the future. Reduce greenhouse gases...choose Aqua Comfort!
