Abstract
Pool heaters, including floating pool heaters, and related methods are presented. For instance, a pool heater includes a power supply; a body structure comprising a first portion comprising a heat absorbing material forming one or more channels; and a pump powered by the power supply to circulate a fluid via the one or more channels of the body structure. The heat absorbing material of the first portion absorbs solar energy and transfers the solar energy to the fluid circulating in the body structure of the pool heater and then to pool water.
