Four Advantages of Solar Pool Heating

Minimal Disturbance

Installing pool heating is a big step. It will allow you to expand your pool usage time all year round so you won’t need to abandon your favourite outdoor activity every winter! But it can also come with significant costs, so it’s not a decision to be taken lightly.

Thankfully, unlike traditional gas or electric pool heating systems, solar powered pool heaters don’t require any plumbing, electric, or gas lines installed in the ground, so they won’t need to rip up your lawn and you won’t need to wait weeks for your heated pool to be ready! This means that your new heated pool can be up and running with minimal disturbance to your or your home.

Extremely Reliable

Solar energy systems have been used for decades, not just for heating outdoor pools, solar energy has a long history of use to power residential or commercial buildings, and to provide hot running water. Solar pool heating is particularly reliable because there are no moving mechanical parts like fans or motors to worry about eroding or breaking down.

Low Maintenance

Because of their reliable build and lack of moving mechanical parts, solar energy pool heaters are also incredibly low maintenance, almost completely maintenance free! Unlike gas or electric heaters, there are no parts that will need servicing after a year or two in operation and they aren’t buried well below your property. So long as you keep your solar panels free from dirt and the tubes aren’t damaged, your system should remain maintenance free for a long time!

Cut Energy Bills

When taking into account your ongoing bills, solar energy is by far the least expensive method of heating your pool! Installing the system itself is less invasive than other types, and should demand a lower fee. At the same time, 100% of your energy moving forward is free, taken directly from the sun to heat up your pool. Your new solar pool heating system can usually be hooked up to your existing pool pump, and will normally pay for itself in reduced bills within the first three years!
