Solar Pool Heaters
What are Solar Poll Heaters?
Sitting by your pool on a hot sunny day, would you like your pool water to have less chill when you jump in for a cool off. Or for that indoor pool, keeping the temperature up while outside the weather is like the Arctic. Sure you can do this already with traditional pool heaters, but how about going solar and heating your swimming pool with free solar energy.
Your Solar Pool Heater will work just as effective as your current pool heating but with solar energy you will be saving bucks on the running costs.
The operation of a solar pool heater is very simple, water is pumped from your pool and passes through a filter to keep any bits of dirt or leaves out of the system. It is then fed in to the solar heater for warming. The solar pool heater is designed to concentrate and store the suns energy and then transfer this energy in the form of heat to the pool water passing through.
Its really that simple, water flow can be automatically monitored along with the temperature to keep your pool nice and warm for whenever you would like to take the plunge. Some systems even enable you to cool the pool down should it ever become to warm to be comfortable or you live in a warmer climate.
As with photovolataic solar panels, there are many options available for using solar to heat your pool and its important that you invest in the right one for your pool and location. Their power capacity and along with the actual building materials vary and some are more suitable for colder climates.
The actual technology of heating the water is much the same as used in residential solar water heating. A qualified solar engineer should easily be able to implement a suitable design for you personally. Once you have installed your solar pool heater, you will have the luxury, but with less of the operational cost of traditional pool heating systems. Along with the additional benefit of reducing your carbon footprint.
