PRODUCT INTRODUCTION

Installing a Solar Pool Water Heating System is an important investment to ensure your Home Energy Efficiency.

Since energy efficiency and saving money by lowering utility costs became a priority, many homeowners chose to install a solar pool heating system which offers substantial energy-saving benefits by reducing electricity or gas costs from local utility companies.

Before installing a solar pool heating system, be sure to speak with an Energy Efficiency Consultant about the current level of your home energy efficiency.

The energy efficiency consultant will help you to identify all areas of energy inefficiency in your house and potentially save you tens of thousands of dollars in the future.

According to Energy.gov, you can significantly reduce swimming pool heating costs by installing a Solar Pool Water Heating System. They're cost-competitive comparing with both gas and heat pump pool heaters, and they have very low annual operating costs.

Most solar pool water heating systems include the following:

• A Solar Collector - the device through which pool water is circulated to be heated by the sun.
• A Filter - removes debris before water is pumped through the collector.
• A Pump - circulates water through the filter and collector and back to the pool.
• A Flow Control Valve -- automatic or manual device that diverts pool water through the solar collector.

HOW DOES A SOLAR POOL WATER HEATING SYSTEM WORK?

The Solar Pool Water Heating System, illustrated above, works as follows:

• Pool water is pumped through a pool pump into a filter and then is fed into solar water collectors.
• The pool water is heated as it moves through the water collectors.
• The heated water is returned back into the pool through the return lines in the system.

Some systems include Sensors and automatic or manual Valves to divert water through the collectors when the collectors’ temperature is sufficiently greater than the pool temperature.

The system may also include a Gas Heater for supplemental water heating purposes before it returns into the swimming pool. When the collectors’ temperature is like the pool temperature, filtered water simply by-passes the collectors and is returned to the pool.

SIZING A SOLAR POOL WATER HEATING SYSTEM

According to Energy.gov, sizing a Solar Pool Water Heating System involves many factors:

• Pool size.
• Length of swimming season.
• Average regional temperatures.
• Desired pool temperature.
• Site's solar resource.
• Collector orientation and tilt.
• Collector efficiency.
• Use of a pool cover.

POPULAR PRODUCT BRANDS

Some of the most popular brands of Solar Pool Water Heating Systems are presented below in A to Z order.

WHAT IS COOL PV? © 2024 FAFCO_®

FAFCO_®, the oldest and largest US Solar Thermal Manufacturer, has changed the game in solar with a significant advancement in solar technology!

CoolPV™ provides improved PV electrical output with energy to heat your water and your pool at the same time! The unique design provides unmatched performance and maximum energy output using the same roof space.

Using FAFCO_® state of the art solar thermal technology and solar electric technology, CoolPV™ is an enhanced solar electric system that generates electricity and heats water using the same panel on the same roof space. Because the solar electric panel is “cooled”, it generates more electric power than a stand-alone solar electric panel. All you need is a load for the heated water like a water heater or swimming pool.

CoolPV™ can generate up to 4 times the energy of a stand-alone Solar Electric System! This Enhanced Solar Electric And Solar Water Heating System has completely changed the game for those who want to take advantage of solar to generate electricity and heat water at the same time using the same roof space!

SWIMMING POOL COVERS

According to Energy.gov, you can significantly reduce swimming pool heating costs by using a Swimming Pool Cover, also known as a Solar Pool Cover.

Swimming pools lose energy in a variety of ways, but evaporation is by far the largest source of energy loss. Covering a pool when it is not in use is the single most effective method of reducing pool heating costs by about 50% – 70%.

Besides energy savings, pool covers also do the following:

• Conserve water by reducing the amount of make-up water needed by 30% – 50%.
• Reduce the pool's chemical consumption by 35% – 60%.
• Reduce cleaning time by keeping dirt and other debris out of the pool.

GAS SWIMMING POOL HEATERS

According to Energy.gov, gas-fired pool heaters remain the most popular system for heating swimming pools.

Today you can find new gas-fired heater models with much higher efficiencies than older models. Still, depending on your climate and pool use, they may not be the most energy-efficient option when compared to heat pump and solar pool heaters.
