Abstract
All known gas pool heaters connect between the filtering system and the jetting system.
They also are designed to operate continuously throughout the swimming months to maintain the pool water temperature within a degree of the user's settings.
In this invention, the pool heater is corrected between the filter and the pool jetting system with a two-way valve. Rather than jetting the heated water through the normal jets of a pool which is on the top of the pool, this pool heater has a hose that is placed into the bottom of the pool and jets the hot water into the bottom of the pool. This system allows the user to send the water to either the pool jets or to the bottom of the pool. By sending the heated water to the bottom of the pool, there is a far more efficient transfer of heat between the pool water and the heated water because the heated water will not be effected by the outside wind and/or temperature and the pool will be heated from the bottom up (heat rises).
In this invention, the pool heater is designed to function with a simple barbecue gas tank rather than a full time hook-up to a gas line that decreases the cost of installation by approximately $ 800.00.
In this invention, the pool heater is designed only to heat the pool water on demand and not to continuously maintain the pool water at a specified temperature. By heating the water and using a thermal heating blanket on the pool surface, the pool heater will use far less gas than if operated continuously throughout the swimming months.

Description
Overview:
Out door pools, both in-ground and above ground rely on the sun in the summer to provide the necessary heat into the water. In most instances, this heat source is not sufficient to maintain the temperature above 78° F. Since most adults prefer to swim in a water temperature that is above 80° F, there is a need for heating units to increase the temperature of the pool water to between 80° F - 83° F.
The most efficient pool heaters utilize natural or propane gas to heat the water. However, all the pool heaters that are presently sold require hook-up to either large gas tanks or directly to a gas line. The cost of this hook-up usually costs between $
800.00 to $ 1,400.00.
In addition to the gas hook-up costs, the pool heaters that are on the market are designed to operate continuously throughout the season, therefore using a considerable amount of gas.
Therefore, we the applicants have designed and built a pool heater that does not require a gas hook-up and is designed for intermittent operation to raise the temperature only when required by the pool operators.

Our pool heater differs from the others presently sold in the following manner:
1. Our pool heater connects between the pool filter and the pool like others, however, the heated water is not connected to the normal pool jetting system on the top.
Instead, our heater comes with a hose that jets the water to the bottom of the pool.
This jetting system eliminates to loss of heat from the heated water that is associated with the wind on top of the pool. In addition, heat rises and therefore this method expedites the heating of the entire pool. During the heating process, it is required to place a thermal insulation blanket on the surface of the pool. This provides additional insulation and also expedites the heating of the pool.

2. Our pool heater uses a simple 68,000 BTU gas burner that is presently sold on the market and connects safely to a 20 Lb. Barbecue gas tank. This eliminates the cost of installation and allows for instant connection by all pool operators.
Description:
The pool heater uses a standard 68,000 BTU fish type burner mounted on a stand. We build a metal container to hold the copper tubing (heat exchanger) including a chimney.
During operation the chimney does not exceed 110 ° F therefore achieving an excellent exchange of heat between the gas burner and the water traveling through the copper tubes.
Our pool heater is connected between the pool filter and the pool. The water enters the pool heater from the filter using the existing water pump. The water pump motor has a slight increase in amps that is 0.5 AIVB' maximum. The water is exhausted into a hose that is placed on the bottom of the pool thereby allowing the heated water to enter the pool on the bottom and the colder water entering the heater from the top. This accelerates the heating process because the heated water rises and is not affected by cold wind.
We include a three directional 1 '/2" valve that is used to switch the water flow between the heater and the normal pool exhaust.
The pool heater can be connected to a standard 20Lb. Propane gas tank that is used for barbecues.
We have included sketches of our unit for further details.

Claims (4)
1. Simple inexpensive pool heater constructed out of metal with no plastic parts.
2. A pool heater defined in claim 1, in which the heated water is jetted to the bottom of the pool thereby decreasing the loss of heat from wind and decreasing the time required to heat the water in the pool by heating from the bottom up.
3. A pool heater defined in claim 1, in which the heater does not required to be connected to a main gas line and is designed to function properly using a simple barbecue gas tank. This type of connections reduces the cost of installation by approximately $800.00 for the user.
4. A pool heater defined in claim 1. that is designed to be used only when required to heat the water and to be used in conjunction with a pool insulation blanket (that is sold separately) to maintain the pool temperature. By using the heater only to raise the water temperature rather than maintaining the water temperature constantly throughout the swimming months, the user will benefit from far less costs associated with gas use.
