A
solar swimming pool heater is actually a system comprised of several
components. This type of pool heating system requires careful shopping,
comparison and installation. In the end, you will save money using
solar power to heat your pool.
Before you select and install your solar pool heater, you should
take a few things under consideration:
• Solar resources – is there enough sun in your climate
to heat the water?
• The size of the system – this is dependent on several
factors such as the size of the pool, the climate, the length of the
swimming season, the desired pool temperature and whether or not you
will use the heater in conjunction with a solar pool cover.
• The performance of the system as based on the thermal performance
rating.
• Compare costs including the cost of materials, installation
and savings to utility costs.
• Evaluate community covenants as well as guidelines such as
roof loads and insurance stipulations.
Choosing a solar swimming pool heater can take time while you evaluate
all the variables and options. Using solar power to heat your pool
is a great option. Finding the right solar heating system for your
circumstances is the first step toward a solar heated pool.
