How Warm Can an Orlando Home’s Pool Get with a Solar Heater?

Many Orlando homeowners ask us how warm they can expect their pool to get if they have a solar heating system installed. It seems that many people are under the impression that a pool using a solar-powered heater can only be warmed by a degree a day or that it can only reach a temperature equivalent to that of the outdoor air. However, the truth is that a solar pool heater can keep water at swimmable temperatures year-round in Orlando.

Pool Heater Use During the Summer

During Florida summers, a pool heater may not even need to be used, as water can naturally reach ideal swimming temperatures in the upper 80s. If it is needed during the summer, a solar pool heater will have no trouble getting the water to the desired temperature, which can be set on the system.

Pool Temperatures During Cooler Months

On average, a solar-heated pool in Orlando typically reaches temperatures around 10 degrees warmer than an unheated pool, give or take a few degrees depending on the weather. The long explanation, though, is that there are just so many factors that can influence the max temperature of a pool that uses a solar water heating system (or any other kind of heating system, for that matter). Some of these factors include:

Amount of sun exposure
Size of the pool
Use of a pool cover
Starting temperature of the water (pools lose heat each night)

And, of course, the quality of the solar pool heating system itself and its skillful installation will play a big part in the speed at which it can heat the pool, too.

This company worked very hard to remove my very old water heater. They did an excellent job installing my new one. Very professional, and kind. Willing to answer my questions also. Thank you.

Tony, the technician/plumber from Florida Energy Water & Air, was most pleasant, knowledgeable, professional. He arrived on completed the replacement of very old water heater including nearly 100% disappearance of the "knocking noise" in less than an hour, and cleaned up the work area very nicely at the end. I highly recommend his and FEWA to anyone needing these kind of services. Thanks Tony!

My experience with the team at Florida Energy Water & Air has been very positive throughout the whole process. I purchased the water treatment and air purification systems for my new home. Jack, the sales representative, did a very impressive job making the 2-hour demo fun, engaging, and interesting. I had no idea how much time had passed until it was over because he did such a great job keeping my attention. The installation was performed by Robenson a few hours later that same day! He was very professional and did a great job with the installation. I wasn’t a big fan of drilling a hole through my garage to run the water pipe, but he made the hole as small as possible and it looks like the house was built that way. He and his partner did a great job cleaning up after themselves. Finally, John was very friendly, professional, informative, and helpful during the post-installation quality inspection. Overall, it has been a very positive experience.
