Enjoy your above ground pool past the end of summer! The Flowclear™ 4 kW Pool Heater is an energy-efficient way to regulate the temperature, so you can keep the water nice and warm as outdoor temperatures cool down. The anti-corrosion titanium heat exchanger is built to last and is IPX4 waterproof for extra safety. This pool heater is easy to install and simple to use, with an included water sensor power switch. Using low GWP R32 refrigerant - the most eco-friendly heating agent on the market - you can feel good about about using the Flowclear Pool Heater during the off-months while still lowering the environmental impact. This pool heating system also features an internal protection function that prevents the heater from running in temperatures colder than 12ºC (54ºF), avoiding any damage to the inner system from overworking itself. The Bestway heater has separate adapters for 1.25 and 1.5-inch hoses. The base of the mat does not include a set body. Rather, you will add the proper adapters into the mat depending on the hoses that the heater is to use. Using Multiples This is a good alternative to my Intex 2.2 KW Electric Pool Heater, it is very similar in performance. I just prefer the Intex version but this is just as good, it just takes a little more effort to get it switched on and it’s not easy to see the LCD screen or the power light if the sun is shining on it. Once you’ve plugged it in, it beeps to indicate it is ready but the heater is still off. You have to press and hold the button for 2 seconds before it will start heating. Just something to note!

Before we delve deep into our Intex and Bestway pool heater review, we should look at what makes these two models work. These heaters use a few simple steps for use: Depending on your pool size and your preferred temperature the pool heater can take anywhere between 12 hours to 3 days to warm the water. The swimming pool heater has the ability to increase water temperature by approximately 0.5∞C to 1.5∞C per hour. Once again, this varies from pool size to pool size. Please note that this pool heater does not include a thermostat to adjust the temperature setting. If taking a dip in the water makes your toes turn blue, then the BestwayÆ Pool Heater is an absolute essential. It's one of many products designed to enhance your above ground pool experience in the BestwayÆ Pool Accessories collection. At HeatPumps4Pools, we have the largest range of swimming pool heaters to suit all pool sizes and types. We have the latest inverter driven pool heat pumps with the highest efficiency.

As enjoyable as a swimming pool can be, the water can be rather frigid at times, thus making the pool uncomfortable. You can still use multiple mats for a single pool if needed. That will be discussed in a moment. ConnectivityWhen using any electric pool heater, remember that you’re heating a great deal of water through a relatively small appliance. It will take quite a while (hours or even a day or so) for the entire pool of water to reach the temperature you want. And that adds quite a cost to your electric bill. Pros Just remember that you need the sun for this solar pool heater to work just like any other solar heater. Don’t forget to put a solar cover on the pool when it’s not in use to conserve whatever heat there is already in the water. Pros

The two pool heaters that you can utilize are appealing, but we have determined that the Bestway heater is the best option.Designed with durability in mind, the anti-corrosion, titanium heat exchanger is built to last and is IPX4 waterproof for extra safety. Feature anti-corrosin titanium heat exchanger Both models can handle filter pumps that can utilize up to 2,500 gallons of water per hour. For the Bestway heater, the unit can work with a sand filter that takes in 2,000 gallons per hour at the most. How Big of a Pool?

Overall, if you have a pool between 8ft and 12ft, this is a great option for heating your pool. I’m a little biased as I love my Intex pool heater but they are very similar. Both are great pool heaters, personally, I have the Intex version but this Bestway heater is honestly just as good. Please be aware that the solar mats’ effectiveness depends on the amount of sunlight they receive. 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 If you have an Intex or even a Bestway above-ground pool then this is a great electric pool heater to consider. I find that it’s not cheap to run but then nothing is cheap at the moment with energy prices. To give you an idea, it’s costing me around 90p an hour to run according to my smart meter, however, this is well worth spending and the pool is used more now too. Like the Intex heater, it’s designed for above ground pools with a capacity of between 1,520L and 17,035L. This covers most at-home pools, so yours probably fits in this range. To give you an idea, it’s supposed to be fine with pools up top 15ft; personally, I think it’s more like 12ft. I know this because my brother has a larger 15ft Intex pool, and he tried this heater first, it did warm the pool, but it wasn’t great. I think the water volume is just too much to expect this little heater to warm it. However, under 12ft and it’s a good option and will give you a nice bath like warm water. Basiclly for smaller pools, all these plug-in electric heaters are great, for larger pools, not so much. So let’s start from first principles. If you get a cold drink and a hot cup of tea and leave them both on the table for an hour what happens? The cold drink gets warm and the hot drink gets cold. The liquid warms up or cools down to the ambient temperature surrounding it. It is exactly the same with your pool. The only difference is your pool sits there day and night so whilst it may warm up some in the day it will cool down at night. So if you do nothing the water will reach the average day/night temperature for the time of year. In a typical british summer that is about 17C (63F), not especially warm. First things firstIf you wish to return your item to Robert Dyas, you can do so by one of the following methods: 1. Request a Collection via Robert Dyas Customer Services 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? The Bestway Pool Heater is an effective way to warm up water in your above ground pool, creating a comfortable and relaxing environment to swim, paddle or play in.

But while Bestway has the advantage, both Bestway and Intex have done quite well with producing great pool heaters.
