Extend your swim season with SmartTherm pool heating system

An efficient pool heating system will increase the number of days each year you have to enjoy your pool.

If you plan to include a custom spa with your new pool, your choice of heating system will be even more critical. You want the ability to rapidly and economically fire up the water temperature for a comfortable soak.

Based on how you plan to use your pool and/or spa, the region of the country, local climate, construction conditions, and other local factors, your Blue Haven designer will guide you in selecting the heater that offers you the best overall value.

  • Compact, high-efficiency gas heaters with ultra-low NOx emissions to comply with the nation’s most rigorous air-quality rules;
  • Latest-generation electric heat pumps with outstanding, third-party-certified energy ratings; and
  • Clean-energy solar heating systems.

More efficiency = more fun…

An efficient heating system will provide more opportunities to use your pool & spa throughout the year, including in cool weather.

Today’s top heating systems are more powerful, efficient, and economical than ever. In fact, in some regions of the U.S., when the right pool heater is coupled with a pool cover or highly affordable solar cover, it may be economically viable to swim virtually year-round.
