Benefits of Solar Pool Heating Systems
Solar Pool Heating Systems use the sun's energy rather than electricity
or gas to heat water fpr your swimming pool. Solar Pool Heating Systems
provide many benefits including:
- Comfortable - Solar pool heating systems allow you
to enjoy the perfect water temperature and lengthen your swimming season.
- High Reliability - A properly installed solar pool
heating system is virtually maintenance free and most manufacturers
offer 10 to 15 year warranties.
- Economical - Solar hot water systems use sunlight,
which comes to us free, as fuel to heat water. A power pump and the
sun are all the energy you will need.
- Clean and Safe - Solar pool heating systems use
clean, non-polluting solar energy to heat water. They are safe for you,
safe for plants and animals, and safe for our environment.
How do I get started?
Step 1: Determine your requirements.
To properly size a system to meet your needs, you will need to know how
much hot water you typically use. Call your utility company and ask that
they provide you with a usage summary for the past year. If less
than a year, ask for usage data for as many months as possible.
Step2: Contact a local solar system provider.
A solar system provider can provide you with information on the different
types of solar hot water systems available and the advantages of each.;
After deciding what type of system is right for you, the solar system
provider can use your usage data to size a system for you. To find a provider
near you, look in the yellow pages under "Solar Energy" or "Solar Heating
Systems."
