Adding Heat Pumps or Gas Heater

Adding heat pumps or gas heater to your solar pool heating is a fantastic way to enjoy a warm, inviting pool for longer when  cooler days or times when the sun isn’t shining? Here’s where adding a backup heating system comes in!

Year-Round Swimming: Solar + Heat Pump or Gas Heater

By combining solar pool heating with a heat pump or gas heater, you can extend your swimming season significantly, potentially allowing you to swim year-round depending on your climate.

Solar Takes Priority: Free Heat When Available

Your solar pool heating system will be your primary heat source whenever possible. It harnesses the free energy of the sun to keep your pool warm and inviting. This translates to significant savings on your energy bills.

Seamless Backup: Keeping Warm When the Sun Sets

As the sun sets or during cloudy spells, the intelligent Zane solar controller automatically switches on your chosen backup heating system, ensuring your pool stays at your desired temperature. This ensures consistent warmth, no matter the weather.

Heat Pumps: Energy-Efficient Choice

Heat pumps are a popular and energy-efficient option for backup heating. They extract heat from the surrounding air and transfer it to your pool water, offering a cost-effective and eco-friendly solution.

Gas Heaters: Powerful and Fast-Acting

For those seeking a quick and powerful heating solution, gas heaters are a great choice. They can rapidly heat your pool, ideal for colder climates or situations where you need a quick temperature boost.

Ideal for Spas: Maintaining Consistent Warmth

Spas require consistently warm water, typically between 36°C to 40°C (96°F to 104°F). A solar heating system with a backup heater ensures your spa maintains this perfect temperature, maximizing your relaxation and enjoyment.

The Perfect Combination

By combining solar pool heating with a heat pump or gas heater, you create a powerful and versatile pool heating system. You’ll enjoy the cost savings of solar energy while having the peace of mind of backup heating for consistent warmth, extending your swimming season and maximizing the enjoyment of your pool or spa.
