Heating the water of the swimming pool with solar water
heaters is an effective option as it helps in reducing the consumption of
electricity. However, using the energy of the sun in an effective manner
require you to follow certain tips that can heat the pool in an appropriate
manner. How exactly do you ensure that the swimming pool has heated the pool?
One of the most obvious ways which many people ignore is placing the solar
collector at a spot that receives adequate sunshine. Perhaps many people find
it difficult to identify the spot with most sunshine. To establish this, you
have to take note of shading at different times of the day.
Solar collector and wind
When it comes to solar water heating for swimming pools, placing the collector at the right point
can make all the difference. For instance, the solar collector must be places
in a location which is away from the wind. You might just wonder if little
amounts of breeze can come in the way of heating the swimming pool but it leads
to loss of convection heat which reduces the effectiveness of the heating to a
great extent.
It is good invest in a solar collector that comes with glass
cover or buy a separate pool cover to suffice the purpose although it may not
be expensive. It is necessary to take adequate steps to ensure that when strong
winds blow, it should not come in the way of heating the pool.
Connecting the solar heater collector
Not many people know that connecting the solar water collector
in parallel diminishes the aspect of resistance which makes it easy for the
pool to pump water with force without consuming electricity. As a matter of
fact, the pool becomes heated in an appropriate manner through
parallel-connected solar water heaters than those that are connected in series.
In several places, hot water cylinders are used extensively in residential homes to heat water.
