Solar Pool Heating

Solar pool heating is the oldest form of what we consider, modern solar heating.  In fact, long before people started putting solar panels on their homes to run the electricity and get off of the big power grid, people were using solar energy to heat the swimming pools in their backyards.

There are a few different forms of solar heating systems for your pool and all of them are simple and inexpensive.  You don’t have to make a lot of changes to your pool, or create any new complicated systems, because the pool itself is what actually works as the thermal storage system and the heating system can be hooked into your pools current filtration system to get it to work.

Solar pool heating is a much simpler form of the solar heating that you would use to run your dishwasher, but that doesn’t mean getting expert help from California Solar Company isn’t a good idea.  There are many types of solar heating for pools and the best way to determine which style is best for your pool is with the help of a professional.

How Solar Pool Heating Works

With a solar pool heating system there is a control value that will actually sense any changes in sunlight or water temperature.  Once the control value is triggered it will send pool water to the collectors and start the filtration process of sending warmer water to the pool.  If heat is not needed, the system will instead bypass that process.

The water is heated in the collectors, which are most often mounted on the top of a roof or they can be mounted on a ground rack near the pool.  They are free to operate and completed automated.  Once installation is complete there is nothing that you have to do to keep the system working.  You get to determine the temperate that you want your pool to set at and you can adjust that temperature as needed; making it warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.

Get Solar Pool Heating For Your Home

Getting solar pool heating systems installed is even simpler than the installation of a home’s solar energy system.  The one complication to this process is the filtration system.  You have to get the solar energy system in connection with the filtration system of the pool in order to get it to work properly.  This is where many do it yourself home installations run into problems.  Not completing this process correctly could cause the whole system to stop working or make the temperature of the pool uncontrollable and unpredictable.

Tax Benefits of Solar Pool Heating

Many states will also allow for tax deduction from the installation of solar energy systems and this can include solar pool heating energy systems.  Make sure that you check with the laws in your state or with your tax professional to see what is true for where you are located.  Not only will you save money, help the environment, and get a tax refund, but you will also be creating the pool of your dreams at your own desired temperature right in your own backyard.
