Pool Solar Heating
Pool solar heating is being widely used by a lot of pool owners. This is due to the fact that installing solar heating and maintaining it quite cheaper compared to using a boiler heating system. Between the two, solar heating have a greater advantage over a conventional boiler heating system.
A pool heating system that uses solar power can indeed be a great investment if you have kids and love swimming. You will be able to enjoy frolicking in the pool anytime of the day, whenever you want. You and your kids will surely love using your solar heated pool.
A pool solar heating system uses the principle of convection on how it works. We all know that warm water rises when it starts to get warm and the colder part of the water sinks and stay at the bottom. With the use of a solar heating system, the sun will do the works for you.
There are pipes installed in your pool will help the warm water flowing all throughout your pool. There are sun collectors that are connected to the pipes and this allows warm water to be distributed all throughout the pool, thus evenly distributing warm water. At the same time it will collect cold water and have it replaced with warmer water. Thus heat and warm water constantly circulates in your pool.
The solar heating system can be a great investment. To fully optimize your solar heating system, some fine tuning should be done. A filter in the outlet pipe coming from the pool is best for preventing clogs to your system. It is also advised that a bleed valve should be installed at the highest part of pipe system. This will prevent air from accumulating in your pipes and make your convection flow more effective.
For your pool solar heating to really perform well, a non-return valve or NRV should be installed at the cold water inlet going to the solar collector. This will help cool water from going back to the pool during the night. Now you and your family can fully enjoy your pool anytime of the day.
