Swimming pool Heating Solar Pool Heating – Swimming pool heating. SolarTEMP.co.za Call 021 5567203 If you own a swimming pool, you’ll definitely need a way to keep it warm. Otherwise, your pool will be too cold to use. There are many ways to heat your pool through solar panels and pool covers. Fortunately, there is another option that you should consider. A solar pool heater system can easily keep your pool warm and comfortable while helping you save money on your energy bill. This article will describe how solar pool heaters work, why you need to consider investing in a solar hot water system and how to choose the right heater for your needs.

How Does Solar Pool Heating Work?

As the name implies, a solar pool heater is powered by energy from the sun. Though some heaters work differently, most cycle the cool water from your pool through solar panels. These panels use solar collectors to capture energy from the sun. The panels then use this free energy to warm the water before cycling it back into your pool. As a result, your pool is kept warm and comfortable for those who wish to use it. A solar pool heater system can economically lengthen the time of year that you use your pool.

Benefits Of Using Solar Pool Heating

There are several reasons to use a solar pool heater over other types of heaters. First, you and your family can enjoy using your pool for a longer time during the year, knowing that your energy costs are lower. Second, solar pool heaters usually require less maintenance than other heaters. Both electric and gas heaters need to be serviced occasionally. Last, a solar pool heating system will likely last longer than other types of heaters.

You can purchase solar pool heaters for an above-ground pool as well as an in-ground pool. A large above-ground pool can either have a "roof top" cover that collects the sun’s energy and warms your pool or a heating system that sits on the ground. Many owners of smaller above-ground pools prefer a solar pool heating system that sits on the ground. An in-ground pool should use a "roof top" cover. This type of cover typically sits on the roof of your home while collecting energy. Unobtrusive, a "roof top" cover will likely not even be seen by your guests.
Consider the decision to buy a solar water heating system to warm your pool an investment. Not only will it allow your family and friends to enjoy a warm pool in which to swim, but you can extend the swimming season and do so while saving money on fuel costs. Further, because solar pool heaters require less maintenance and are generally more durable than other heaters, you can expect your heater to warm your pool for many years.

Pool Heating | Swimming Pool Heating | Pool Safety Tips

Pool Safety Tips Brought by Solar Temp unit 1 16 donnington Rd Killarney Gardens. Call 021 5567203. Solar pool heating specialist.
brought to you by the Layers of Safety Campaign. Be Safe not sorry. Enquire about our Pool safety cover 021 5567203.

Drowning is the most likely manner in which a middle or upper income family will lose the life of a child under the age of 5 years. Despite this, most people do not realise that their pool is the most dangerous feature of their home. (Data interpreted from the Medical Research Council of South Africa, 1999, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004). Internationally, and certainly in South Africa, it has been found that not only are people generally unaware of the risk posed by pools, but also the methods of making a pool safe are not known.

It is the goal of this campaign to educate South Africans to the simple methods, tools and activities that can reduce the needless and preventable loss of life to accidental drowning’s.

Making your pool safe can only be achieved by adding multiple Layers of Safety to your pool and habits.

Tips and Info
(Derived from US Consumer Safety Products Council and US National Safe Kids Campaign)
Pick at least two of the following Layers of Safety, noting carefully the characteristics of each.

Pool Alarms: A pool alarm will alert you to the fact that your child has fallen into your pool and is an excellent final Layer of Safety. Look for alarms that use subsurface detection and have at least two sirens (one for the pool area and one for the house).
Remember, someone must be home to hear the alarm, so never leave your child at home alone.

Pool Fences: Relying only on your pool fence to prevent a drowning is very dangerous. Due to the false sense of security that is commonly created by a fence, drownings are actually more likely in fenced pools. Your pool fence should be sturdy, at least 1.5m high, with no gaps, breaks or nearby climbing tools such as trees, garden furniture etc. The gate through the fence should be lockable, self-latching, spring-loaded and open away from the pool.

Pool Nets: Your child can drown in a netted pool if the net sags below the water by as little as 3cm under the weight of your child. Nets are also notoriously difficult to fit and remove. The hassle-factor may encourage you to leave the net off when the pool is busy over a hot weekend. Remember – no net, no safety. Always test that your net remains above the surface of the water even when weighted down. When the net is removed from an unattended pool, even for a minute, other Layers of Safety are an absolute necessity.

A note about solar blankets: These blankets can be extremely dangerous. If your child falls into a blanketed pool, the blanket may close above him, concealing the accident until it is too late. Layers of Safety such as a pool alarm and fence must be used.

Various habits we have as parents can also make our pools safer.
Follow all of these tips to make sure you are doing your job properly.

Supervision:

  1. Stay at the pool, preferably in the pool, at all times when your child is swimming or playing around the pool. Never leave your child alone, even to get your cell phone or to answer the doorbell. Take your child with you if you must leave the pool area.
  2. Don’t let yourself be distracted when watching a child around the pool. Avoid distracting activities like talking on the phone, eating, drinking, reading, snoozing or playing with another child.
  3. When many children are swimming, designate a Water Watcher. This person’s sole responsibility is the pool area. The Water Watcher must not leave the pool until someone else takes over or the pool area is made safe. Needless to say, the Water Watcher must be sober, committed and responsible. Change Watchers frequently to maintain concentration.

Habits:

  1. If your child is missing, go to the pool first. Make sure that you search the pool and pool area properly. Once you are certain the pool area is safe, you can then check lower risk areas in your house.
  2. Never leave toys or other attractive items lying around the pool – the temptation to fetch a favourite toy may overwhelm your child’s training to avoid the pool if alone.
  3. Always empty and overturn inflatable splash-pools, buckets, drums etc. Always close the lid of your toilet.

Training:

  1. Learn to perform child CPR. It is not the same as adult CPR. Administering first aid can save your child’s life.
  2. Train your child never to swim without asking you first. A tamper-proof pool alarm can assist in this training.
  3. Swimming lessons are a useful aid, but are not a one-stop solution to prevent drowning. Even if your child can swim, you must have other Layers of Safety present. A child should never be expected to fend for him or herself around a pool.

Will Solar Temp Solar Pool Panels heat my
pool?

Of course! Depending on your weather and climatic conditions, you can
expect your Solar Temp Solar Temp Heating System to:

*  Raise your pool temperature 2 to 5 degrees Centigrade each time
the water passes through the system, and

*  Raise your pool’s temperature 5 to 15 degrees Centigrade over a
period of several days of good weather.

A solar blanket will help hold in this heat at night or when it’s windy,
and can help the system be even more effective. To set up an appointment
for a free analysis and estimate contact us.

Can it also cool my pool?

During the hottest part of the summer, running the solar system at night
can cool a pool to a more refreshing swimming temperature – down several
degrees in one night if the conditions are right.

Can pool solar panels be used to heat the house?

No. Solar pool panels and controls are designed specifically to heat a
large volume of water in a swimming pool, and to operate in temperature
ranges of 80 to 100 degrees. Household space heating and household hot
water are different applications of solar, requiring the heating smaller
volumes of household water to higher temperatures.

What size is a Solar
Temp Pool Panel?

Solar Temp Solar Panels come in one size 3.0m x 1.2m.

top

Should I heat my pool ?

Solar Energy is free energy. A swimming pool, with decking and
landscaping, represent a sizable investment for the homeowner.
Maintenance costs exist whether the pool is used or not. The investment
in solar pool heating will assure that the pool is used and enjoyed much
more. in Fact you can swim up to 10 months of the year.

top


How much does a Solar Temp pool heating
system cost to
operate?

Nothing, the Solar Temp Heating system forms part of your existing
swimming pool configuration. The majority of residential Solar Temp Heating Systems use
an automatically controlled valve to divert the existing filtration flow
to the solar panels, so there is no additional cost to operate the solar
pool panels. Most Pool pumps are adequate to control the flow through
the Pool Heating System. Call us today to find out if your pool pump is
suited for a Solar Temp Pool Heating System.

top


How long will the solar equipment last?

Solar Temp solar collectors are made of a class 9 pipe which has been
manufactured with uv stabilizes and can you expect them to last between 20 to 25 years. Thousands of Solar Temp solar
pool heating systems that were installed over 20 years ago are still
going strong.

top


Should I use a pool cover with a Solar Temp pool
heating system?

With a properly sized Solar Temp Heating System, a pool cover is normally not
required to keep the pool at a comfortable temperature during the normal
swimming season. However, a pool cover does help retain heat at night
and prevent evaporation loss. The cover traps the solar heat that has
been added during the day, and is very complementary to the solar
system. The solar system can be viewed as actively adding heat. The
cover retains that heat passively.

top


What special maintenance is required on a
Solar Temp Heating System?

Usually no special maintenance is required during the season. Modern
electronic controls allow you to “set and forget” the solar heater.

Western Cape Solar Pool Heating Panel Specialists

All around the world for many years solar pool heating has brought enjoyment to families. SolarHiTemp.co.za has perfected the industry through research and development to accommodate the harsh South African conditions to ensure comfortable swimming pleasure.

You can now heat the water in your pool to a relaxing level for swimming when it would otherwise be too cold to swim by installing solar panels. This will enable you to spend limitless hours enjoying your pool and immediately increase the value of your property.

Environmentally safe, naturally clean and non-polluting; solar heating systems uses the free energy of the sun and is therefore extremely low maintenance.

There are various types of solar heating systems but the most effective systems use inert black plastic polymers that cannot be corroded by pool chemicals or eroded by water. Special designs with individual tubes allow the roof to breath and dry out. These designs also allow for reduced wind load and the need for a complicated mounting system.

The pool pump operates the solar unit at the same time it pumps water through your filter therefore solar heating units are always incorporated into an existing filter circuit. The size and power of the pump will determine the maximum number of panels used to ensure adequate flow to your solar heating unit.

The following environmental and physical factors will be taken into account to determine the size of area covered by solar panels:

The recommended method to install solar panels is to install continuous rows. Change in the level of the roof or a skylight will require your supplier to split the layout and panels will be linked by pipes.

The heat of the water depends on the amount and intensity of sunshine (solar energy from the sun) you will therefore have cooler water in cold and rainy weather.

Solar pool panels should face north or be mounted on a flat roof to ensure optimum efficiency. Additional panels may be required if this is not possible. Very high pitch roofs and a pool that is shaded more frequently will definitely require supplementary panels.

  • Length of swimming season for your specific area
  • Location of your swimming pool
  • Whether your swimming pool is shaded
  • Surface area of the water to be heated
  • Wind factors
  • Pool temperature required
  • Direction and angle whereby the solar panels can possibly be mounted

Having a heated pool will allow you to invest in your home and add to fun family memories. Contact Solar Temp to be sure you use a reputable and reliable installer and do it right the first time.
