Cheap Heating Energy Source

 

Among the many ways of heating one’s swimming that’s just too cold even on summer months with days that are hot and sunny, solar heating best fits the bill.  It is also the most effective and safe. 

The alternate methods include natural or propane gas-fire units, oil burning units, electrical immersion element type units or the electric heat pumps. All of the above are expensive to install, incur a day to day running expense, and give off emissions. 

Heating your pool using solar energy is cheaper to install and leaves no carbon footprint. 

Benefits 

This system is known to pool owners as one that virtually increases swimming time. There is no energy bills to think of and can increase. 

The water temperatures are comfortable, the system is durable, and you are assured that it belongs to those man-made systems that’s environment-friendly and green. 

For a technology (solar heating) that has been around for some years, it is fortunate to have benefitted with the innovative technological improvements, which includes the materials used. 

Basically, it is a system that uses the sun’s energy minus the additional electricity costs. 

Warm December pool 

Solar pool heating makes it a possibility to climb into a pool round Christmas and enjoy swimming in your pool in months that are supposed to be cold.

 In a sense, the system kind of extends the swimming period. When in the past, you can only use your pool from November to February, you can now extend that from as early as September all through to April. 

Increase swim time 

If your family is into swimming, extending the swimming time will also extend the physical health of these children. Experts have always said that swimming increases the children’s health. 

The solar heating system can increase water temperature up to 40 for most pools. This allows swimmers to jump in even on winter months. 

This will also promote the children’s lung and heart health. Swimming promotes cardio-vascular workout that promotes lung and heart health. It also promotes stamina and a cost effective way to curb child obesity (reduce the chance of juvenile diabetes). 

Comfortable temperatures 

In addition, solar pool benefits deliver a more comfortable temperatures, and lower energy costs. The system works better for the environment compared to others. 

Pool owners who opt and invest in this type of cooling systems are able to enjoy their swimming at any time of the year. Moreover, adding solar heating components do not increase your electricity bills plus the system requires minimal installation costs. 

Swimming in winter 

Swimming in a cool pool is good if you are on hot summer days. However, the water becomes too cold for swimming once the temperatures go down. (Pools are expensive investments and owners want to enjoy them all throughout the year.) 

Since the source of energy for a solar heating system comes from the sun, it needs no electricity. Once installed, the panels for heating connect with these pool’s existing pumps to transfer the collected heat to the water. 

There is no need to invest in another swimming pump for this system.
