A swimming pool is a great way to enjoy the summer and cool off in the hot days. For most people residing in Canada and Northern USA, a pool is seldom hot enough and only on those rare heat wave days do you feel like you have enough heat.
During the colder nights, most pool owners think that an additional heat source is required like a propane or natural gas heater. But the cost for heating a pool can be significant. Solar has been considered for long as the most cost effective way to heat pools. However, the traditional solarpool plastic heater may have many limitations:
They lose their heat energy like a radiator in any wind.
They operate only in the direct sunlight.
The sunlight and chlorine break down the plastic quickly which leads to roof leaks and stains.
The pump needs a large additional load to move up the water to the roof.
They only work when the surrounding air temperature remains hot.
Earlier, evacuated tubes solar pool heaters were simply too expensive. With the demand for solar heating, the cost of vacuum tube collectors become low allowing pool owners taking opportunity to heat their pools with much superior standard system.
The solar evacuated tubes pool heaters can be integrated so that during the summer they can provide heat to in winter they supply home heating as well as residential hot water. This means, solar heating systems can minimize your heating bills year round. These systems are the only choice for pool owners looking for a solution to heat their pools during the winter season. In addition to, solar vacuum tubes heating systems offer the benefits for the pool owners:
They don't lose heat no matter whatever the wind conditions or the outside temperature is.
They work in indirect light conditions like when the cloud is covered and will work even after the sunset.
The Northern Lights solar pool heaters use stainless steel or Titanium heat exchanger so that the water never gets in contact with the solar collector.
The whole solar system is a closed loop and can be pumped with as little as 20 Watts of energy about 10 times less than a poolpump needs to move the water up to the roof.
The solar vacuum tubes help the solar pool heaters to deliver the heat energy to pool even in the freezing temperatures. This means, the outdoor ambient temperature has little impact on the heating system.
Final consideration -
The solar pool heating systems have a much longer life and can deliver enough heat energy throughout the year than any other type of heating systems. As such the overall cost is substantially less to the homeowners yielding great savings over fossil fuels and electricity.
This means they offer larger savings as compared to other types of traditional solar pool heating techniques. Therefore, investing in solar heaters makes sense for solar pool heating applications.
