Electric Hayward Pool Heater and Maytronics Solar Pool Heater

Posted by John Smith on February 20th, 2019

If you like to bathe all year round but you are not a friend of cold water, it is obvious that you need a Hayward Pool Heater. Currently, there are different models, so it is advisable to follow the advice of our guide to buying the best heater for swimming pools on the market, where you will know the secrets of this type of products, being able to take better advantage of its operation and saving time and money in it.

Electric or solar:

Within the comparison of heaters for swimming pools, there are two differentiated types: Electric Hayward Pool Heater and Maytronics Solar Pool Heater. The electric models work by means of a traditional electric heater that is responsible for heating the water in a similar way to an electric water Pentair Master Temp Heater, using a pump of its own or the purifier to pour it into the pool. The solar models do not require more connections than the hoses to operate.

Its design includes a system of hoses mounted on a fabric that captures the sun, taking advantage of its rays to heat the water, similar to the solar thermal plates that are in many houses. Some models even consist of covers that are placed on the water and that directly heat its surface.

Heating capacity:

When looking for a pool heater it is necessary to know how much we need to heat that water to choose a model adapted to it. In the case of solar heaters by radiation, depending on the capacity of the pool and the size of it, this system allows raising the temperature from 3 to 5 degrees.

In the cases of solar covers, provided they are adapted to the surface of the same, can increase the temperature up to 8 degrees, saving also in cleaning and chemical maintenance products. In electric models, the advantage is that you can regulate, generally, the water outlet temperature, so that you can choose the temperature of your bathroom or how much you want to heat it, although obviously there is a difference between how much the appliance costs at its operating cost.

Connectivity:

Both in the electric Hayward Pool Heater and in the Maytronics Solar Panel, it is usually necessary to have an adequate connection for the hot water to return to the pool. The existing models in the market usually include the necessary hoses and connections, allowing creating a kind of secondary connection that circulates the water within the system.
