These days, we’re all looking for ways to cut costs – but what does that really mean? Sometimes an investment can reap continued rewards, including getting the most out of what you already have.
A pool heater can make your pool experience more pleasant on those still-chilly mornings of late spring. It gives you an extended pool season – by up to four weeks – so you can swim earlier in the spring and later into the fall.
The Power of the Sun
A solar pool heater is one of those classic win-win solutions. It gives you an extended pool season in an environmentally responsible way, using the sun’s energy to heat the pool. You may be sceptical about the power of the sun in our northern climate in the GTA but even early in the season when the pool is still partly frozen, a solar pool heater can still do the trick and warm up your pool. It will take somewhat longer than using a gas or electric heater, but the savings are huge.
How Do They Work?
Solar pool heaters typically work off a system that uses solar panels to collect energy which then heats the water in collection areas. Water is pumped and filtered between the collection areas and back into the pool. You’ll still have the features you’ve come to expect, like precise digital temperature control of your pool water.
Solar hybrid systems give you the best of both worlds.
• These systems use both solar and conventional (gas or electric) heating systems.
• A temperature monitor gauges the temperatures of a solar collection area and the pool water.
• When conditions are right, it diverts the water flow to the solar system.
• The gas or electric heater only kicks in when solar energy isn’t available.
