FAQs

The most effective way to prevent heat loss is to install a pool cover. An un-blanketed pool loses 2-3 times more heat than a blanketed pool. Pool covers virtually eliminate evaporation and reduce heat loss by insulating the surface of the pool and greatly reducing pool-heating costs. As with all pool heaters, Zane recommends using a pool cover at night and when the pool is not being used.

• Fuelled by the power of the sun, solar heating systems are a low-cost, method of heating up swimming pool water
• As solar heating is reliant on the sun, it is best used to extend the swimming season
• Requires virtually no operating costs – just the cost of electricity to pump pool water through the solar absorber on the roof

• The fastest method for heating pool and spa water
• Maintains desired temperatures regardless of the weather
• Highly effective but more expensive to operate

• Heat pumps may not heat up the swimming pool as fast as gas heaters but they are a more energy efficient
• Heat pumps require a small amount of electricity as its heat energy source is extracted from the ambient air.
