When to Use a Solar Pool Heating System?

play with friend in swimming pool

Did you know that it doesn’t have to be sunny to harness power from a solar pool heater? That’s right even on less sunny days a solar power heater can harness energy from the sun and heat your pool all year round. A great way to minimise your fuel bills and also enjoy your pool all year round.

How does a solar pool heater work?

Well, a solar heat pump is a little like the reverse air conditioning in your home, the technology is just applied to heat the water in your swimming pool. The heating comes from refrigeration gas much like your refrigerator or air conditioning.

The heating is consistent and keeps the water at the temperature you want so you can enjoy the benefits of your swimming pool. You can have friends and family around to enjoy the pool on those cooler sunny days, entertain guests and of course exercise yourself and your family. Swimming is a great cardio activity for any age old or young and the longer you get to spend in the water, the fitter you will become as swimming is proven to maintain a healthy heart and strengthen muscles.

These days’ solar pool heaters are designed to blend into most contemporary homes and pools of any size and shape without impacting the look and feel of your garden design. They are also quiet too. Just working quietly away creates consistent warm temperatures for your swimming pool.

When you are looking to invest in a pool heater, explore the option of a solar water heater pump. You can lengthen the usage of your swimming pool as well as keep the electricity bill down!

Benefits of Using a Solar Pool Heating System

kids enjoy swimming pool

There are several benefits of using a solar pool heating system. First and foremost, they are an eco-friendly option as they do not emit any harmful greenhouse gases. They also do not require any fuel, making them a cost-effective option in the long run. Additionally, solar pool heating systems require minimal maintenance, and they have a longer lifespan than other pool heating options.

Moreover, solar pool heating systems can help you extend your swimming season, allowing you to enjoy your pool for longer periods. They are also easy to install and can be integrated with your existing pool equipment.

Conclusion

In conclusion, a solar pool heating system is an excellent option for pool owners who want to extend their swimming season without breaking the bank. They are eco-friendly, cost-effective, and require minimal maintenance. However, they work best in areas with a lot of sunlight and may not be as effective during the winter months in areas with short days and weak sunlight. If you’re interested in installing a solar pool heating system, make sure to consult with a professional to determine if it’s the right option for you.

There was something about Sunny that made me want to both like him and trust him from the moment he turned up just one day after my making the call. The pool is big and deep and difficult to heat and I had tired of pumping water up to the roof with no results. Sunny looked down on it and declared the webbing was insufficient and it had not been plumbed properly. He then looked at the pump and diagnosed the controller as being out of order as well. He gave me a figure and looked at the doubt on my face. “If it doesn’t heat your pool, I’ll give you your money back” He was that confident. I did a bit of research, one person telling me that the inlet/oulet of the pool were configured so that whatever I put on the roof, it wouldn’t heat the pool. When I raised this with Sunny, he repeated his guarantee, with further detail that the pool would reach 26C after 5 consecutive days of sunny weather after 1st October. On the strength of that I asked him to go ahead and he was there just 2 days later, and on a weekend, busily removing the old system and replacing it with his bespoke system. He returned with a new controller and his guarantee neatly typed out on company letter head. The controller indicated a steady rise in the temperature of the pool and in the short time between installation and the end of September the pool temperature had already risen from 19 to 22. With the arrival of October and just two warm days on the long weekend the water in the pool reached the promised 26. Dealing with contractors is always a bit of a gamble, but this one paid off! I am as confident Sunny would have refunded the money had the pool not reach the prescribed temperature as he was confident that it would. “You can tear the letter up now” he quipped when I gladly informed him his prediction had come to fruition. I would, but I might hang on to it as a cute reminder there’s good people out there!

I would like to thank Sunny for the a great installation experience. He explained what he was doing and asked for my preference - i.e. positioning of pipes, salt chlorinator cell, etc.He even fixed an issue he found under the roof tiles which could have become a major issue at a later point.His professionalism is excellent and I would recommend him to anyone.Again thanks for looking after our job.

Based on website reviews, we contacted Sunny for advice on how to repair our filter box and equipment. Sunny was very knowledgeable and was able to solve our problem with the minimum of fuss and at a reasonable price. He communicated well and completed the job promptly. All rubbish was removed and the work site was left very clean. We highly recommend Sunny and will definitely use him again.

What a great team, Sunny and Kirsty. Very professional and extremely knowledgeable. The installation was completed with minimal fuss in a narrow restricted access location. He then returned a couple of weeks later to install a deflector at which time I was able to thank Sunny for the way the way our new heat pump pool heater achieved to desired high temperatures required for my hydrotherapy.Thanks again guys, I can’t recommend you more highly and have referred you to friends who have seen the work and the excellent results.John

We had a fantastic experience with Sunny at Thermo Pools. During a very busy period (it became hot suddenly and our solar was busted), he came out to give us a quote within a day, provided a solution and installed it within a couple of weeks. He is so friendly and professional, and our pool temp improved very quickly. He and Kirsty provided great communication throughout the process. We won't hesitate to use Thermo Pools in the future.
The service has been amazing at Thermal Pools. I can’t recommend them enough. The whole process was attended to with 5 star service. Well done guys. So glad I chose you for our solar pool heating. Thank you 😊

I can’t recommend Sunny more, I called him yesterday for a solar heating quote and he turned up today, Sunny not only provided a quote with a good price but also fixed the current aged leaking solar heating at no cost. I will have him install my next solar pool heating.
