How Do Electric Pool and Spa Heaters Work?

An electric pool heater creates heat in your pool or spa by applying an electrical current to an element with resistance, which generates heat. The electric heater passes water over the element to heat it, circulating the warm water back into the pool or hot tub until the desired temperature is reached. Electric pool heaters are most appropriate for heating spas and small above ground pools.


How Much Will It Cost To Run?

The following formula is used to determine the cost per day:
Power  X  Hours per day  X  Price per kWh

For this scenario we are going to use a K5 (which is a 5 kW unit), for 24 hours at an estimated $0.10 per kWh.
5 kW  X  24 Hours  X  .10 = $12.00 to run this unit, per day.

Note: This is an estimated price, as once the pool is heated, the unit will turn the heating elements on and off to maintain the temperature of the water rather than running at full power all the time.


HEATER SIZING CHART

Note: All figures are approximate and based on a constant depth of 48" and a desired temperature increase of 10 degrees. Use chart only as a guideline.


IMPORTANT NOTES:

Please refer to our K-Star Owner/Installation Manual Regarding:
• Proper Installation (i.e. consideration of maximum Flow Rates; etc.)
• When installations require Current Collectors as per electrical code
• Warranty criteria (i.e. Salt-Chlorine Systems; etc.)

Leakage Current Collectors (not supplied with purchase):
Leakage Current Collectors may be required with your Heater installation; consult your local Electrical Safety Authority (ESA) to determine if Leakage Current Collectors are mandatory in your jurisdiction - *Please note that the Canadian Electrical Code only requires Leakage Current Collectors for Hot Tub applications.

This unit is to be hardwired and serviced by a licensed electrician.

This heater is not to be used on any soft sided above ground pools.
