Solar Heating for Swimming Pools
Anyone who operates a commercial swimming pool knows how expensive they are to operate. And if the facility operates year-round the numbers can be downright staggering.
Sunwater solar will help you through the design and installation process to turn your commercial swimming pool into a solar pool. We will perform a detailed site analysis followed by a cost and savings analysis.
The Process
- Site Analysis - we come to your facility and analyze the solar potential
- Cost and Estimated Savings Proposal - We will let you know how much it will cost and how much you can expect to save.
- Design - Once given the go ahead we will design a state-of the art solar water heating system.
- Build - From permit to commission we will take care of the details and install a quality product to be enjoyed by you for years to come.
- Follow-up - We will return for periodic maintenance to keep your system running efficiently.
Savings
A solar pool heating system can eliminate the need for paying to heat a seasonal pool and can significantly lessen the hard financial burden of a year-round heated pool Payback starts at five years with the system designed to last 25 years.
Sizing
Solar pool heating systems require a solar collector area equal to 50 to 70% of the pool's surface area.
How it Works
- Solar heat is absorbed by solar "collectors" placed on the roof, shade structure or other location in the sun.
- The solar heat is delivered to a heat exchanger using a low-energy circulator.
- The pool water passes through the heat exchanger placed in the pools filtration system piping and picks up the solar heat delivering it to the pool.
