Most family pools do not get used as much as they should. A little dip is good for the health, and if the pool is long enough to do laps then you could easily get enough exercise from a swim in your very own pool. So why do we not use it more? Swimming pool solar heaters may address some of the problems:
1. The temperature. Sure, we usually use the pool in the summer when it is plenty hot... Well, that is not always true. Even in the height of summer, only certain times of day are right for swimming in an unheated pool. First thing in the morning is a no-go, more often than not. In fact, the best times are often while we are out at work...
2. The cost. Okay, given that the coldness keeps us out, why not just heat it up? Well, most of us do not keep it constantly at swimming temperature for a very good reason - most pools contain thousands of gallons of water. What kind of fool would spend money keeping it hot when there is no one around to use it?
So you can see we have a catch 22 situation - no one uses it because it is not hot, and it is not hot because no one uses it!! Solar pool heaters can really help out here, by keeping the water temperature right at no extra cost. The sun is going to go on shining whether or not we are taking advantage of the energy it produces.
Installing pool solar heating means that we can stop worrying about the heating bill and get down to enjoying the pool. So stop thinking of the pool as something for special occasions and get on with using it!
