Using solar pool heating means that little or no electricity is needed to keep a pool warm, but it does mean the temperature of the pool is dependent on peak sunlight. Having a pool heating system installed means that you no longer have to wait for warmer days in order to use your swimming pool.
Pool heating systems available:
- Unglazed Solar Panels – offers simple installation, required direct sunlight and is inexpensive.
- Heat Pump - will generate heat daytime and or night-time.
- Pool Heating via Pool Heat Exchanger - When used in combination with solar panels, swimming pools can be heated by connection of a pool heat exchanger which transfers heat from 1 medium to another.
Did you know? A heat pump can also be used as a pool heater or cooling system in summer when combined with other equipment.
A pool or unglazed collector is a simple form of flat-plate collector without a transparent cover. Unglazed liquid collectors are commonly used to heat water for swimming pools. Because these collectors need not withstand high temperatures, they can use less expensive materials such as plastic or rubber. They also do not require freeze-proofing because swimming pools are generally used only in warm weather or can be drained easily during cold weather. |
