A 0.9mm PVC material is used on the body of the mat. The PVC compound takes in the sun’s heat quite well without warping or wearing out. The mat is around ten pounds in weight before the proper connectors for hoses are added to the ends of its surface. How Effective Are These Choices? Rapid heating system- approximately 0.5-1.0°C per hour (for 12' x 30" inflatable pool). Please note that this is only a guide as mains water temperature, heatloss, ambient air temperature etc will affect this. The outdoor pool heater is made for use with Bestway pools with a water capacity between 1,520L and 17,035 L (400gal and 4,500 gal.) however can be used with bigger pools to slightly less effect. When used with the recommended sized pool the expected water temperature will increase by approx. 0.5? to 1.5? per hour dependent on pool size.

Heats between 0.5C & 1.5C p/h 220-240V~50Hz, 2,800W at 20∫C, increases the swimming pool water temperature by approximately 0.5-1.5∫C/h (1-3∫F/h) depending on total water volume, You do have to pay in additional costs on your electric bill for the luxury of warm water in your above ground pool. But given that, the choice comes down to an electric pool heater for significant jumps in water temperature or a solar heating mat for smaller temperature rises. Your choice could depend on the climate you live in (cooler and overcast vs warmer and sunny), the size of your pool, or how often you plan to swim.

How To Return A Product Both Intex and Bestway allow you to link multiple heater pads to each other. The number of pads you require will vary based on the size of the pool you need to heat up. You should also look at how well the connections work; these mats are both more effective when the connections are shorter in length. Which Is Better?I have used this pool heater on an 8ft rectangular framed pool, and it took the water temperature from a chilly 18 degrees to a comfortable 28 degrees in around 10 hours. Another time it was 10 degrees, and took around 12 hours to reach 22 degrees. The point here is that it depends on the outside temperature. Also, get yourself a pool cover to help retain the heat, this helps alot and is definitely money well spent. The first thing you should do it buy a solar cover. Even the cheapest type will help but a good quality 400 micron solar cover will help the sunshine to warm water and also help keep the heat in during the colder nights. Using a solar cover should add at least 2C maybe up to 6C to the temperature. That will bring it up to about 19 to 23C (66 to 73C). 23C is not bad, on a really warm day most people would swim in 23C. If your existing pump and filter set does not have sufficient flow rate for your pool heater, then we sell a range of four sizes of pump/filter sets for above ground pools

So, you have bought an above ground pool, probably an Intex type pool, that sits on your lawn. You have filled it with water, connected up the filter pump and you and your family are all ready to climb that ladder and step in. But then you hear “it’s freezing cold! I am not going in that!”. Maximum for Hot Splash = 10m3 so this would be too large – look at our Eco+ heat pumps Typical Pool Sizes and Volumes We can also advise on the best choice of heater for your above ground pool to suit your pool size and budget Fortunately, you can find pool heaters from Intex and Bestway to help you get the most out of your pool. Each company makes a pool heater that offers a unique design that will heat up the water in your pool in moments.

If it is not sunny, they will not be effective which is why I have both electric and solar heat mats to swop between as and when needed. Pros
