Swimming pool boiler installation
We can offer up to 10 year guarantee on Vaillant gas boilers to heat your pool.
Swimming pool too cold to take a dip in? Having a swim in your own pool is an amazing way to relax, have fun, and keep fit. However with the British climate, the trouble for most of us, is that we can only bear the pool’s temperature for a minimal part of the year. That’s why most pools have a heating system installed, to raise the temperature and make sure you can swim whenever you want.
Heating a swimming pool in the most effective way will vary, depending on where you live and for how much of the year you’d like to be able to swim in it. We provide installation, services and repairs to gas and oil fired pool boilers, ensuring your pool is ready to use when you want it.
Pool Boiler Installation
Gas heaters were the most popular method of heating a swimming pool, and still prove very popular to this day. They create heat by burning gas inside of a combustion chamber, this heat is then transferred to water that has been pulled from the pool, before then getting pumped back into the main body of water. Gas boilers have improved greatly on older models, with some great products on the market. Some of the benefits of gas boilers are:
- Comparatively cheaper purchase price
- The air temperature doesn’t impact its functioning
- Can heat the water quickly
Installation Requirements
You need to be aware of a few variables when deciding on a swimming pool boiler. The first is the type of energy source you’ll be using to run the boiler and heat the pool. The option you go for will have a big impact on monthly payments, alongside how fast you can get the pool to a comfortable temperature to swim in.
When making this decision, remember that some energy sources won’t work in particular climates, so be sure to do your research. The next consideration is the size of your pool, this will also impact the cost of running your new boiler.
Swimming pool boiler sizing: what capacity do you need?
The general rule of thumb is, the bigger the boiler you can afford, the better. As a rough estimate, you can calculate the size swimming pool boiler you’ll need by using the below formula. The manufacturer should be able to provide you with much more exact calculations.
Surface area x temperature rise x 15.
If you add further factors such as shade, wind and elevation, then the boiler size needed would potentially increase further.
