Heating a Home Pool - Alternative to Propane Heater

Are there any energy efficient alternatives to using a propane heater for a home pool I am building?  Someone in my area (Maryland) is using a heat pump, but my pool builder said it would not be a good alternative for me. Of the seven months I expect to use the pool (April through October), I think I will only need to heat it during April, May, and October.  Thanks for any ideas.

  • I’d post you a picture of mine but the new forums don’t let me. The insert photo function doesn’t seem fully functional. But, it’s on a half piece of plywood (painted flat black), and the black hose is coiled up on it starting with a small circle in the center all the way out to the edge. Actually I made my own hose with garden irrigation tubing. Can’t recall how many feet I needed. But I actually used two of these. You’ll want at least that much I think, if not more.
