Pool
heating is one of the most cost
effective uses of solar energy
available in Saskatchewan. The
heating season for outdoor pools
corresponds well with our long
and sunny summer days, which
provide above average energy
from the sun's rays.
Indoor pools
are typically heated with
similar collectors as are used
for domestic hot water systems.
System sizing is very pool and
location specific, contact us to
discuss your configuration.
Outdoor pools
can be partially heated with a
combined pool/domestic hot water
system. This makes the most
effective use of the flat panel
solar water heating system and
allows the owner to size their
system to provide near 100% of
their domestic hot water needs
year round, with the possibility
of excess heat available
for home space heating.
Dedicated outdoor
pool solar
can be used stand alone, or in
conjunction with a solar
domestic water heating system.
In the dedicated solar pool
system, pool water
circulates through a
set of joined rubber tubes which
can be installed on a south
facing roof, or a stand-alone
mounting.
