October is almost here, and while Northeast Florida enjoys plenty of warm days, pool water temperatures start cooling quickly this time of year. Without a heater, many homeowners stop swimming until spring—but it doesn’t have to be that way. Installing a pool heater lets you enjoy your pool throughout the seasons.
Why Add a Pool Heater This Fall?
Your pool is more than a summer amenity—it’s part of your family’s lifestyle. A heater ensures you can make the most of it in the cooler months ahead:
- Keep swimming into fall and winter: Enjoy your pool well beyond summer, even as cooler evenings and mornings set in.
- Comfort whenever you want it: Whether it’s an early morning workout, an evening dip, or a fall weekend with friends, heated water makes it inviting.
- Year-round value: You’ve invested in your backyard—why let it sit unused for months? A heater turns your pool into a space you can enjoy all year long.


Two Smart Options for Jacksonville Families
At Clarkson Pools, we’ve been helping families get the most from their pools for 35 years. When it comes to heating, two options stand out:
Electric Heat Pumps
- A favorite in Florida, heat pumps use the outside air to gradually warm your pool and maintain a steady, comfortable temperature. Many newer models also feature a reverse cycle, allowing you to cool your pool a few degrees in the peak of summer—a benefit our customers love. Heat pumps are efficient, reliable, and ideal for families who want their pool comfortable for longer stretches of the year.
Gas Heaters
- Gas heaters warm your pool or spa quickly, making them great for spontaneous swims or entertaining. They’re especially practical if natural gas is available at your home, as this can be more cost-effective than liquid propane (LP). Gas heaters are best for families who want the flexibility of fast heating without needing to keep their pool heated for extended periods.
Both options offer excellent ways to extend your swimming season, and our team can help you choose the one that best fits your lifestyle and home setup.

More Days, More Memories
As the weather cools, don’t let your pool go unused. A pool heater means more swims, more gatherings, and more time spent enjoying your backyard. With Clarkson Quality, you can count on a system that’s built for comfort, backed by our Life of the Pool Commitment.
