Intex 28684 Electric Above Ground Pool Heater 2.2 KW / 230 V

Product Information

The dual panels can raise the pool temperature by up to 15-degrees, in a few days, maximizing pool use when the weather starts to chill. The polypropylene panels themselves are quite large—2-ft by 20-ft—and can properly heat even larger above-ground swim pools. GAME has upgraded this solar panel system in recent years, adding multiple adapters for different pool sizes (this was a recurring issue with pool owners in the past), and as mentioned earlier, this curved solar panel can work with just about any kind of above-ground pool. Your pool heater is a vital machine in keeping your Intex pool water swimmable for you and your family even during the cold months. It keeps your pool warm for a better swimming experience.

At HeatPumps4Pools, we offer a wide range of above ground pool heaters, heat pumps, filters and covers for above ground pools. Note: If choosing this option, we strongly recommend getting an Intex branded electric pump to ensure it’s compatible with your Intex filtration system. We suggest getting the Hayward Universal H-Series Pool Heater as it comes in both natural gas or propane gas. So you have an option to choose which one you want to use in your pool.If you’re just looking for a noticeable bump in water temperature over a few days, an Intex electrical resistance heater is a fairly low upfront investment and moderate use won’t run electricity costs too high. Having a solar heating system installed to heat an Intex pool can be quite expensive to set up initially, but with no operating costs and tax incentives you can get for having one ( depends on your state), it can be all worth it.

The 28684 pool heater from Intex is compatible with Easy Set, Fast Set, Pro Frame and Metal Frame above ground pools up to 12ft diameter by 30 inches deep that use flexible hose and jubilee clips for connecting the pump to the pool. If you live in a warmer climate, we suggest getting a solar cover or blanket first and test it if it’ll be sufficient to heat your pool. You can also benefit from using multiple solar mats from Intex. SOLAR POOL HEATER – The SunHeater Solar Pool Heating System allows you to capture free heat from the sun’s rays to effectively raise your pool water temperature. It’s an efficient and... So the maximum pool size recommended for the Intex 2.2kw heater is 6m3 of pool water (or up to around 10′ diameter maximum) Solar pool heaters take longer to warm the pool, and unlike gas or electricity, which heat reliably and consistently, they aren’t as efficient in areas that don’t get lots of sunshine.Of all the models we analyzed and tested, this one turned out to be the best in all characteristics. You get not only a great pool, but also many additional features, such as a sand filtration mechanism, a ladder that is protected from slipping, bedding for the ground, as well as a cover for the entire structure with a strong rope. The filter is very powerful and works with a capacity of 2100 gallons per hour. It works by utilizing your installed solar panels to transfer heat from the sun to your pool by letting your pool water pass through them. The good news is that there are other ways to keep your pool temperature warm or at least close to warm, most specifically, the use of a solar pool cover, which can cut down on the amount of work your pool heater is being asked to do.

You can even install an Intex Solar Cover Roller if you have a large pool that needs heating. This is best used on a rectangular pool like what you can get with the Intex Ultra XTR Frame Pool Set. The key difference is this type of cover utilizes small thermal bubbles that mimic a giant magnifying glass, absorbing heat from the sun’s UV rays and transferring it directly to the pool water. Water capacity: 5,455 gallons (80{96ccde6b079307c1f5562a41599a6839d164d2d03e47439efebe70763a4fd7f1}) The first thing you should do it buy a solar cover. Even the cheapest type will help but a good quality 400 micron solar cover will help the sunshine to warm water and also help keep the heat in during the colder nights. Using a solar cover should add at least 2C maybe up to 6C to the temperature. That will bring it up to about 19 to 23C (66 to 73C). 23C is not bad, on a really warm day most people would swim in 23C.

One of the best features of all the Intex Pools is that there is no special digging or construction needed to have a pool. Intex pools simply need to be installed on a flat, level, and solid surface with no sharp objects below it to protect your pool liner from any damage.
