Pool Heaters?

I would also say a heat pump is the way to go if you want to minimize your costs over the years. I have an AquaCal Icebreaker which will heat in freezing temperatures (not that we get many here in N. FL) but it has allowed me to use my pool and spa all winter. Solar might also be an option if you just want to heat the pool during the summer swim season. Once you do heat the pool a solar cover will make a big difference in keeping the water warm when the pool is not in use.

Are there any differences in the solar systems. Is there one that is better than the other or are they all basically the same?

I also have a heat pump on my pool in NJ and it works great. They make models that will reverse and actually cool the pool for you as well if you live in a hot southern area where it gets too hot during the summer.
