Having your own swimming pool has many benefits, however it also has its responsibilities. The core jobs in owning a pool to keep it a clean, safe and comfortable place to be are heating and keeping the water clean and clear. Heating a swimming pool is no easy task. A pool is a huge volume of water, and getting a pool to raise its temperature by even one degree takes time and a lot of energy. In the past, where that heat came from wouldn't have even been questioned. Simply a gas or oil burner would have been installed with a thermostat to keep the pool at a set temperature. Indeed, you can still choose this method of heating, however for most of us, this is simply no longer an option due to the costs involved. Gas and oil are now so expensive its hard enough to afford to heat our homes, never mind our pools. Therefore we need alternatives such as using solar energy to heat our pools. Solar Covers For Pool For Free Heating Solar covers can keep a pool clean and capture a certain amount of solar heat into the water. Over time this can raise the temperature of the pool to a nice ambient temperature. However, you may want an additional boost of heat for your pool. Here a solar water heater can be used along with solar pool covers, such as the one below.
Making Your Own Solar Water Heater Capturing solar energy is one of the easiest forms of free energy we have, and building your own solar water heater is actually very simple. To purchase a solar water heater for your pool can cost many thousands. However you can produce your own unit for just a few hundred dollars! The parts to construct a solar water heater can be sourced from your local hardware store. The core component is a water storage vessel, which must be black to capture as much solar energy as possible. The water tank is than placed within a solar collector box. The solar box captures additional solar energy and increases the temperature around the tank. This solutions can produce all the heat you need for the pool. |
