In the winter and colder days, you require the help of a heating system that will assist you to get the maximum from your pool; however, the operating costs could be high. Fortunately, there are various ways through which you can reduce your pool’s heating cost by maintaining it warm enough so that you can enjoy your pool all around the year.
Decrease Costs by Using Solar Pool Heating System
Set up wind blocks
The wind causes about 50% of heat loss in a swimming pool. You can reduce heat loss by setting up hedges, fences and other landscaping structures all around your pool to protect it from existing winds. You can lower the wind exposure by blocking at least one side of your pool. This has another advantage also of improving your pool’s privacy from prying eyes.
Connect your current heater with solar heating
Why should your electric or gas heater do all the work when it can rest on hotter days and allow a solar pool heater to do the job? In brief, a solar pool heater uses collectors placed on your roof, as the thermostat senses the sun’s temperature; water is pumped up through the collectors and back to the pool.
Make use of a solar pool cover when you aren’t using your pool
When compared to a regular pool cover, a solar blanket or pool blanket works more efficiently. It will protect your pool from rubbish and it will avoid heat loss through evaporation by acting as a blockade between the air and the water. Furthermore, it can reduce your pool’s heating cost by around seventy percent. When you use a solar pool cover, it will also facilitate you to extend your swimming season as well as help you to keep your heating costs manageable.
When you aren’t using the heater, operate the heat pump
To keep the pool’s water temperature stable, operating the pool heat pump will help. On the other hand, inactive warm water rises to the top while colder water goes down to the bottom. Due to this, a great deal of heat is lost at the surface and so your heater has to labor harder to keep the temperature at the preferred levels.
The above-mentioned recommendations will help you to reduce your spending for achieving a suitably heated swimming pool. Solar pool heating is environment-friendly and cost-effective; they need very little maintenance and can keep your pool warm all through the year.
