Energy-efficient Heating Options For Your Swimming Pool

Heating your swimming pool can be expensive–it takes a lot of energy to raise the temperature of a large volume of water to a comfortable level, especially in colder parts of the U.S. However, there are a number of lower-cost ways by which you could heat your swimming pool and cut your heating bill.

Solar heater for swimming pools – how does it work?

Unlike other types of solar powered devices, solar pool heater works rather simple. Solar panels collect heat from the sun. They are typically installed on your roof or next to the pool. A pump forces water from your swimming pool through a filter that leads it into a solar collector. The water heats up in the collector then returns into the pool through the pump.
