• The preferred water temperature
• The air temperature range and exposure to wind
Keep Your Pool Efficient
Tips to help conserve pool heat:
• Use a cover when not in use —as water evaporates it pulls heat out of the water
• Wind can increase evaporation and your energy consumption by up to 300%. Utilize fences, landscaping, and buildings to help create windbreaks.
• The sun is a great free source of additional heat. Water can absorb 75% to 85% of the sun’s energy in direct light conditions, so trim back overhanging trees and other shade sources.
TYPES OF POOL HEATERS
Conventional pool heaters are like your residential boiler with the exception that it is designed to operate outdoors. There has been an increase in interest in Pool Heat Pumps. These units absorb the heat from the ambient air and transfers it to the water.
