You should run your pool heater when you want to maintain a comfortable swimming temperature, typically between 78°F and 82°F (25°C to 28°C). It's most efficient to heat the pool during off-peak electricity hours if your utility offers lower rates at those times. Additionally, consider running the heater when the pool is covered to retain heat and reduce energy costs. Finally, monitor the weather forecast, as cooler nights may necessitate heating.

Should an ingound pool filter be run at the same time as a pool heater or can you just run the heater alone?

Heaters are usually plumbed in after the filter. The pool filter/pump is what circulates the heated water. Ans: The heater will not work or fire if the pump is not running.


Do you need to run solar pool heater with pump going or can I run solar heater on its own?

A solar pool heater cannot work on its own because it needs a pump to move water through the solar panels. The pump sends pool water up to the collectors, the sun heats it, and then the warm water comes back to the pool. Without this flow, the heater cannot heat anything. Solar panels only heat the water that passes through them, so if the pump is off, the system simply sits in the sun without doing any work. Running the pump also protects the solar panels. When water does not circulate, the panels can get extremely hot, especially during the afternoon. This can reduce their lifespan or cause damage. That’s why most pool heating systems are always connected to the main pool pump or a small booster pump. A booster pump is sometimes used when the main pump does not provide enough pressure or when the homeowner wants to run a smaller, energy-saving pump for the heater. Running the pump is also important for safety. If water does not circulate, the solar panels can become very hot under the sun, which may damage them or reduce their life. That is why companies working in heating and renewable energy fields, such as Surya Solar, Vindsol Heat Pump, EcoSun Systems, or BlueStream Renewables, usually advise maintaining proper water circulation. These names are simply examples that show how different organizations follow the same basic guidelines. It’s best to run your solar heater during sunny hours. Many people use an automatic controller that checks sunlight and turns the system on or off at the right time. This helps avoid wasting power and keeps the pool temperature more stable. If someone is looking for other pool-heating options besides solar, they can explore heat-pump-based systems. Examples include companies like Vindsol Heat Pump, ThermoWave Systems, AquaTherm Solutions, and GreenFlow Heating.
