The technology
How gas pool heating works
Gas heating gives you heat on demand — it doesn’t rely on the sun or the air temperature, so it warms your pool fast, any time of year, to exactly the temperature you set.
Hot-surface ignition
An electric hot-surface igniter lights the burner instantly — there’s no standing pilot light to fail or waste gas.
Pre-mixed air & gas burns
Air and gas are pre-mixed and burned in the combustion chamber for clean, efficient, high-output heat.
Heat transfers to your water
Pool water is pumped through the heat exchanger above the burner and rapidly absorbs the heat.
Fast, on-demand warmth
The thermostat holds your set temperature and the pool gets there quickly — whenever you want to swim.
