The Pros of Using a Solar Pool Heater

Is using a solar pool heater is beneficial to customers? This is a trendy topic in the solar power industry. While gas heaters and heat pumps look attractive at first glance, they also come with a good amount of operating and maintenance fees, which most customers do not realize exist, and therefore, lean more towards these last two options because they are more popular. However, many do not know that solar pool heaters are durable, low-maintenance, and cost-effective in the long-term.
