Tasmanian Pool Heating and Cold Climate Use
Hobart's cold winters mean unheated pools are unusable from approximately May to September. A heat pump pool heater is considered essential for Tasmania, allowing pools to be used from September through May. Solar blankets retain overnight heat and dramatically reduce heating costs. Hobart's dolerite rocky sub-base can complicate excavation and add to pool installation costs. cbos.tas.gov.au
