Heated swimming pools are designed to maintain a comfortable water temperature, allowing for year-round use regardless of outdoor conditions. They typically use a heating system, such as a gas heater, electric heat pump, or solar panels, to warm the water. This makes swimming more enjoyable, especially in cooler climates. The temperature of heated pools can usually be adjusted to suit individual preferences, often ranging from 78°F to 82°F (25°C to 28°C). Regular maintenance is essential to ensure the heating system operates efficiently and the water remains clean and safe for swimmers.
