Swimming Pool Heating

You can significantly reduce the cost of heating your swimming pool(s) by installing a solar pool heater. These come in both gas and heat pump varieties pool heaters, and are cost-effective incurring very low, annual operating costs.

Components of a standard solar pool heating system:

• 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
• A pump — circulates water through the filter and collector, and back to the pool
• A flow control valve — automatic or manual device that diverts pool water through the solar collector.

• How it works…

  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(s) can also be used to cool the pool during peak summer months by circulating the water through the collector(s) at night
