Solar Pool Heating

A solar water heating system is an excellent way to heat a swimming pool.

Solar thermal hot water systems are more commonly used in conjunction with central heating and running water, but one other excellent application is the heating of water for indoor and outdoor swimming pools.  When installed for this purpose, a full summer’s worth of pool water can be heated without the need for any other heat source.

Additionally, while it would be understandable to assume that such systems would have to be installed at the same time as a pool being built, this isn’t actually the case. Solar pool heating systems can in actual fact be retro-fit without any complications or substantial alterations to a pool.

So, how does a solar pool heating system work and what’s the process of installation? Well, it’s actually far more straightforward thanyou would think and generally follows the below process:

• Firstly, an Azure Eco engineer will visit your home to discuss prices and the suitability of a house for a solar pool heating system.  A home will be assessed for the best location to place solar panels which will ultimately collect the energy required to heat a pool.  This is an important stage as the optimum number and size of panels is intrinsic to the temperature of a pool’s water.
• When a project is agreed, we will the schedule a date for installation with this installation invariably taking between 3 and 4 days to complete; although your pool’s hot water will only usually be turned off for one day.
• With the new system in place, you will be covered by a 2-year parts and labour warranty, with your new solar panels having a 10 year warranty.  While all solar systems are renowned for their low maintenance values, we would recommend a scheduled check after 5 years to ensure everything is working as it should be.

At Azure Eco, we place a heavy emphasis on customer relations at all times and will ensure that you are fully aware of timescales and all elements of your new system’s functionality.  We will also be available to answer any questions you may have for an indefinite amount of time after a system’s installation.

If you have a pool and you’re tiring of the associated heating bills, it would be a mistake to not even investigate the potential for solar pool heating system.
