Do You Need a Pool Heater in Florida?
Short answer: Yes, we recommend it.
While Florida is known for sunshine and warm weather, pool water temperatures often dip too low for comfortable swimming — especially in the winter and early spring. Here’s why a heater is a worthwhile investment:
1. Extend Your Swim Season
Even with mild 65–75°F days, unheated pools can feel too chilly to enjoy during cooler months. A pool heater can extend your swimming season by up to six months.
2. Comfort for Muscles & Joints
Heated water is easier on the body. Swimming in warm water helps relieve muscle tension, soothe joints, and make exercise more enjoyable. (Source: Arthritis.org)
3. Day or Night Swimming
Summer evenings in Florida often drop into the 70s. With a heater, you won’t miss out on relaxing night swims due to chilly water.
If a heater allows you to swim more days of the year and at any time of day, it’s worth the investment.
