Use Free Solar Energy to Heat Your Swimming Pool
Solar swimming pool heaters have one the quickest payback times of any alternative energy investment. in my opinion, anyone who owns a swimming pool ought to take advantage of the sun’s energy.
Because most people only use their swimming pool when the outdoor temperatures are above freezing solar pool heaters have a much simpler design than systems intended to provide hot water for household year-round.
In essence, a contemporary solar swimming pool heater is little changed from the first solar hot water heaters of the late 1800s.
Every swimming pool has a pump that continually circulates the water through filters and the heater. a solar powered pool system simply replaces the electric or gas heater with a solar heater.
Because most the of the expensive parts of the system (the pumps, filters, etc.) are required anyway, there is little cost differential in using a solar heater. However a solar heater continues to save money year in and year out.
The principle of most solar pool heaters is simple. You’ve seen it demonstrated if you’ve left the garden hose full of water laying on the lawn on a sunny day. When you next turn on the hose, warm water will come out. That water was heated by the sun.
A do-it-yourselfer could make a workable solar pool heater simply by coiling a long length of black plastic piping, placing it in a sunny spot and connecting it to the pool system. if you enjoy do-it-yourself projects, you could do it that way. Most people use a commercially produced package.
Commercially produced systems generally look better than homemade and are more efficient..
An alternative energy site I really like is Alternative Energy Primer.
The page on that site talking about solar swimming pool heaters (Solar Pool Heating) has a lot of information on solar systems.
For example, it details the factors you need to consider when choosing your solar pool heating system. When you see how cost-effective the solar system is I think you be pleasantly surprised.
If you have a swimming pool, using the energy of the sun is a win-win situation. It extends your swimming season, save you money and saves the environment.
So again, visit Solar Pool Heating to get more info. They also have links to great sources of solar pool heaters if you want to look into it even more.
Enjoy your pool, but take it easy on the environment while you do.
