Green With Solar Pool Covers
There are thousands of ways you can save energy in your home. Most people don’t realize the huge difference a solar pool cover can create. Solar pool covers are one small change that can save you a lot of money, and save the planet a lot of wasted energy. Solar Pool Covers
These are the two facts that you have requested form me.
The number one way to lower the pool heating bill is to keep it covered whenever you can.
2 You can actually decrease the size of your pool’s propane, electric, gas or solar heating unit, with your pool cover alone. Solar Reels
Due to the evaporation of water, the heat of the pool can be reduced by almost 70 percent. The water which evaporates uses a lot of energy. A heating pool is remarkably energy efficient, only requiring 1 BTU of energy per 1 LB of water, which is not much at all. But at 80 degrees Farenheit, each lb. evaporates removes over 1000 btus of heat from your pool. your pool gets colder the more water evaporates from it. 1800Pools
Do you have any idea how to facilitate pool water evaporation?
{1 The temperature of the pool water itself.}
{2 Air temperature.}
3) Humidity Level
4 To evaporate water at a faster rate, the wind flowing should be of high speeds and also a higher surrounding temperature is favorable.
Here are some suggests for reducing pool water evaporation.
To get respite from the wind entering the pool you can plant tall shrubs and bushes, install or build a fence and plant trees around the pool. When you do this make sure you allow the sunlight on your pool to allow natural heating of the water. If the natural sunlight can’t reach your pool, you’ll need to use more artificial heat (and energy) to heat your pool. The whole idea we’re dealing with here is different ways of energy conservation.
Have you considered the advantages of an indoor pool?
Indoor pools don’t have the elements of wind or sun to contend with, as outdoor pools do. So obviously you wouldn’t need to plant trees or build fences indoors. However, the amount of loss of water due to evaporation is the same. A pool cover is still the most viable way in solving the issue.
Why solar pool covers?
In addition to the math I gave you above, solar pool cover users experience a 30 percent to 50 percent reduction in the need to add water to their pools.
The amount of chemicals you have to add to your pool can be reduced 35 percent to 60 percent, just by using a solar cover. And ofcourse think of the amount of time and energy you will save by not having to clean the pool if you keep it closed in the first place. It is then obvious that you’l cover your pool when its not being used. If you don’t have energy, money or time to waste then covering your pool with a solar cover is really your only choice.
