What to know before you brief builders
Solar, heat pump or gas - compared for Adelaide conditions. Here is the local context that shapes a quote.
Three systems, three trade-offs
Solar is cheapest to run but weather-dependent. A heat pump is efficient and consistent. Gas heats fastest but costs most to run. Most Adelaide homeowners choose solar or a heat pump.
A cover does the heavy lifting
A pool blanket cuts evaporative heat loss dramatically. Whatever heater you choose, a cover makes it work far less. Ask builders to include one in the quote.

FAQ
Pool Heating questions homeowners ask
Solar pool heating is the cheapest to run because it uses the sun, but it depends on sunny weather. A heat pump runs in any weather and is very efficient, at a higher running cost than solar. For most Adelaide pools, one of these two is the right answer over gas.
