When you install a solar pool heater near Claremont, Leesburg, or North Central Florida , you can use your pool comfortably all year long. Solar water heating for your pool is much less expensive, more energy-efficient, and more environmentally friendly than other pool heating systems. Here are the answers to some common consumer questions about solar pool heating systems.

How Do Solar Pool Heating Systems Work?

A solar pool heater pumps water from your pool into specialized solar tubes. These solar tubes heat the water using clean, alternative solar energy collected from the heat from the sun. This warm water is then pumped back into the pool to heat the pool. In the hottest months of the summer, a solar pool heating system can even cool the water in your pool. You can set the solar heater’s control unit to the desired water temperature that you want for your pool. The solar power system’s sensors then detect changes in solar energy, activating the solar pool heater when conditions are optimal for heating the pool’s water.

What Are the Benefits of a Solar Pool Heater?

A solar pool heater keeps your pool’s water at a comfortable temperature year-round. This means that you and your family can enjoy your pool more often and during months that it would normally be too cold to swim. Solar pool heating is also a less expensive initial investment than an electric or gas pool heater. Once your solar pool heating system is installed, you will be receiving free solar energy and solar power from the sun.

Do Solar Pool Heaters Require Special Maintenance?

Once your solar pool heating system is installed, it won’t require any special maintenance. You have the option of turning the solar heater off when you don’t want to use it, and with an automatic draining system there is no need to shut off and drain the solar panels and solar tubes in the winter to protect them from freezing. A solar pool heating system can last for 15 to 20 years, and some even last for more than 20 years.
