Do pool heaters malfunction at high altitudes?

High Altitude Pool Heaters

Though most people wouldn't guess it, altitude can have a big influence on pool heater functioning. At altitudes of more than 2,000 feet, many types of pool heaters demonstrate decreased efficiency. Some may cease to function well altogether.
Fortunately, you're not stuck with a chilly pool just because you live in an elevated area. There are pool heaters designed specifically for use at higher altitudes, as well as those that can be converted for use at higher elevations. Discuss your options with a knowledgeable dealer if you live at an altitude of more than 2,000 feet.
