There’s nothing more relaxing than a heated pool or spa. With the help of a digital or electric pool heater, you can ensure that your pool is always set to the temperature you find most comfortable. Having a pool heater is much like having someone constantly monitoring your pool’s temperature. If the water temperature changes, the heater will automatically turn on and start working to raise the temperature back to the predetermined level. Once the ideal temperature is reached, your heater will automatically turn off.
Digital Pool and Spa Heaters use high-energy efficient systems resulting in fast heat-up times and low long-term operating costs. They are designed to save space while working hard and blending quietly into your backyard environment. In addition, they are easy to use and can include features such as:
  • Microprocessor controlled thermostat with easy adjustments and a digital temperature display
  • Onboard diagnostics to help make troubleshooting fast and easy
  • Remote control compatibility for easy integration with either the simplest or most complex control systems operating your pool or spa
  • Self-adjusting stainless steel burners that will burn cleanly and efficiently and can compensate for varying gas pressures
  • Wind-resistant design to ensure the heater runs efficiently even in windy conditions
Electric heat pumps will heat your pool or spa economically saving you money and offering the ability to enjoy your pool or spa year-round. Utilizing an environmentally safe, high-performance refrigerant, a heat pump transfers the heat from the outside air to your pool. Installation is easy, since there are no gas lines to install or propane storage tanks to purchase. Set the electronic thermostat the same way you would set the thermostat on your central air conditioner, and your heat pump will maintain the temperature of your pool or spa to within 1 degree Fahrenheit.
Some basic features include:
  • A heat exchanger that heats water faster and more efficiently
  • Compressors that are 20-25% more efficient and 50-60% quieter than conventional reciprocating compressors
  • Off-set plumbing for easy installation
  • Corrosion-proof cabinet with an easy access panel
  • Dual electronic thermostats for independent temperature control for your pool and spa
So if you want to stop relying on the sun to warm your pool or you want the opportunity to extend your swimming season, turn to the experts at Anthony & Sylvan – they’ll help you select the pool heating option that will best meet your heating needs.

Pool Closing Tips for Your In-ground Pool
By:  Anthony & Sylvan Pools

Properly closing your pool during cold weather is an important part of prolonging your pool’s finish, tile work, and equipment. It can also save you a lot of time and money when you are reopening the pool, as improperly closing it can cause problems to develop and cause damage that will have to be fixed.
The pool maintenance experts have compiled a list of our best tips to help you properly close your pool in an easy and effective manner.
When Is A Good Time to Close My Pool?
Most pool owners choose to close their in-ground pool in late summer or fall. Something to consider is the weather conditions in your local area. Pool water needs to be consistently below 55 degrees Fahrenheit to help prevent algae growth.
Pro Tip: Look at the projected weather conditions for the next few months when considering closing your pool. The weather may be cool now, but warm up for a few weeks down the line which can promote algae growth.
Clean the Pool
Remove everything that’s not part of the pool, such as ladders, pumps and hoses. Skim the water and remove all debris from the pool’s floor. Vacuum and brush all the surfaces to help avoid staining.
Pro Tip: Do this step the day you plan to finish closing the pool, not in advance as debris and other build up can collect in the in-between time, making your cleaning less effective.
Adjusting Your Water Chemistry
Check and adjust the pH, alkalinity, and water hardness levels to help prevent corrosion while your pool is closed. You will also need to shock your pool with chlorine and add in a winter algaecide. (“Shocking” is a term to describe super-chlorinating the pool.)
Pro Tip: Shock the pool and allow normal chlorine levels to return before adding in the algaecide so the chlorine does not destroy the algaecide.
Lower the Water
Lower the water using a pump, drain the equipment, and winterize the plumbing. Freezing water can damage or ruin the mechanical components of your pool equipment.
Pro Tip: Drain the water according to the pool cover you are planning to use. For a mesh cover, the water should be 6-8 inches below the skimmer. For a solid floating cover, it’s only 2-4 inches below the skimmer.
Cover it Up
It’s important to choose a cover that fits your pool well and does not leave open cracks for leaves or debris to fall in. Mesh covers are often very tight fitting, while floating covers may let somethings through that will have to be removed later.
Pro Tip: Use water bags to ensure your pool cover is fitted as tightly as possible.
