Energy Saving with a Solar Pool Heating System
Save Money with a Solar Pool Heater & Cover
Heat your pool with a Solar Pool Heater and save the heat with a Solar Pool
Cover. Solar pool heating systems are very simple in terms of engineering and
application. The basic principle being: run enough water through enough black
stuff on the roof and the pool gets warm.
Most pool heating systems include a:
Solar collector: The device through which pool water is circulated to be
heated by the sun
Filter: Removes debris before water is pumped through the collector
Pump: Circulates water through the filter and collector and back to the pool
Flow control valve: Automatic or manual device that diverts pool water
through the solar collector.
How pool heating systems work.
Pool water is pumped through the filter and then through the solar
collector(s), where it is heated before it is returned to the pool. In hot
climates, the collector can also be used to cool the pool during peak summer
months by circulating the water through the collector at night.
Some systems include sensors and an automatic or manual valve to divert
water through the collector when the collector temperature is sufficiently
greater than the pool temperature. When the collector temperature is similar to
the pool temperature, filtered water simply bypasses the collectors and is
returned to the pool.
Solar pool collectors
Solar pool collectors are made out of different materials; the type that you
buy depends on your climate and how you intend to use the collector. Collectors
designed to operate only when temperatures are above freezing are inexpensive,
made from specially formulated plastic materials, and generally do not include
glazing (a glass covering). Collectors appropriate for colder climates, or that
are designed to operate year-round, generally have metal components and a low
iron-tempered glass glazing (glazing greatly increases the cost of the
collector).
Solar Pool Covers
The largest heat loss from a swimming pool is from evaporation, by adding a
simple barrier such as a pool cover can cut almost all of these losses.
Covering the pool with a pool cover when it is not in use is the single most
effective means of reducing pool heating costs. Savings of 50-70% are possible.
It is also worthwhile investing in a pool cover reel, to make covering the pool
easier.
