SOLAR POOL HEATING - GREEN AS IT GETS!

Swimming pools require constant heating at low temperature. Hence, the best method is to rely upon infrared solar radiation. Outdoor swimming pools require a considerable amount of energy to remain warm during winters. They come with hefty bills and even occasional maintenance cost. But with solar pool heating, one can get it installed once and enjoy warmer water for eternity. A solar pool heating system can heat any shape of a pool as long as solar panel collectors are working.

Workability of Solar Panel Heating System

Installation of solar panel system for heating a swimming pool is not at all complicated. The traditional heating system comprises of a flat solar panel collector, tubing, and a pump with a filter. The water of the swimming pool is passed through the solar panel collector and is generally mounted on the roof of the pool.

You can choose between unglazed and glazed collector depending on your choice, budget, and requirement. The accumulation of solar energy heats up the water. In other words, the water absorbs the solar energy and returns to the pool in heated form. The optical filter that comes with the entire kit helps in the removal of the debris and dirt during the pumping process.

The best part of using solar panel systems for pool heating is its cost-effectiveness and easy management. You do not have to install a separate storage tank for the pool filtration and heating. The water is passed through the solar collector which is an active system for water heating. Places where the climate is hot or comparatively warmer, the Solar panel is still utilized for circulating water within the system during night time.

Why Solar Heating System Is a Better Alternative for Solar Pool Heating

With wide varieties of solar pool collectors, each of them comes with different advantages and disadvantages. The overall size of the solar collector depends on the factors like geographical location, the shape of the pool, size of the pool, desired temperature, and duration of heating required. So it’s an obvious thing to go for the right one to accommodate the pool capacity.

The pools that are located in cold regions particularly require an unglazed system of water heating. The solar panel alternative can improve the temperature by 10-15 degrees. It has an enormous role-play in extending the comfort level of the swimming pool. The only cost that a person needs to bear is for water recirculation. Apart from that, there is no additional expense.

Tips to Improve the Workability of Solar Panel Collector

1. You should place it at a place where maximum sun exposure is possible.
   
2. Install it away from strong wind.
   
3. Try to install multiple solar collector panels in parallel.
   
4. Operate the pump when sufficient sunlight is available.
   
5. Reduce the water flow if the solar collector panel is installed on the rooftop.
   
6. Turn off the device when not in use for elongating the durability of the system.
   
7. Cover it up during the summer season as the system is rarely used then.
   
8. Keep the temperature of the system moderate so that it encounters excessive exertion or pressure.
   
9. Monitor the solar system regularly to avoid any misfortune.
   

Solar pool heating is not only a green-friendly method but is also a cost-effective alternative to heating your pool. I hope this post will be helpful for you to understand how you can get the maximum benefit of using solar pool heating for heating your swimming pool.
