The construction of a new pool
allows for specific considerations
of all elements of design and their relationship to the
heating needs of the pool.
The idea of building a pool
that costs between $15,000 to -35,000 and
only being able to use it 3-6 months of the year, while
it is comfortable to be outside in a swim suit 8-10
months of the year, is borderline lunacy. No car dealer
would ever be able to sell a car you maintain and pay for
12 months of the year, yet only drive for an average of 4
months. Not.......
The
modern pool environment consists of many
features: pool sweeps, water features such as fountains
and sprays, spill-over spas and other items that require
specific flow rates to function properly. Adding a solar
system requires in many cases additional pumping
requirements to get the water up to the panels and back
into the pool without altering any of the other
performance features of the pool.
Just
a quick site check by any experienced
heating contractor can help determine solar
feasibility, panel location, and suggestions for
pool equipment location so as to minimize flow
losses or equipment upgrades as an additional
measure.
