SOLAR HEATING FOR POOLS
Solar heating for pools is a very attractive option when you think that most pools are outside and used in the Summer when solar energy is most available. This proves to be very economical, and it is not even necessary to use a large area of collector panels because the pool temperature does not need to be very high.
It's relatively easy to integrate solar heating for pools into your conventional heating. The pool's water is pumped through the filter, then through solar energy collectors before going back into the pool. The sun heats the water.
Heating your Pool for less.
Heating your pool can enhance and extend your enjoyment of your pool, but most people are afraid of the the costs involved …. of keeping all that water warm. However, if you take advantage of the strong African sun and solar heating for pools, you can reduce high heating costs while enjoying the benefits of a heated pool.
And if your water is too hot, solar collectors can also be used to cool a pool in hot climates like Durban and Mpumalanga during peak Summer by circulating the water through collectors at night.
The fact that we are facing global warming makes solar heating for pools still even more attractive - solar energy is free and completely renewable, which means it does not consume any of the Earth’s natural resources, and in this way you are helping the environment. These solar systems also capture an awesome percentage of the suns heat, and in fact, in some countries it is mandatory to have a solar water system in every home!
Solar heating for pools is affordable, and the value of your house escalates markedly if such a feature is installed. Once you own solar heating for a large or small pool, there are no running costs; your system works totally in harmony with nature, and the fun and the ability to continuously put in those swimming lengths just becomes a pleasure.
