In Australia’s southern states, solar pool heating can double the number of months swimming pool owners can swim per year, and will extend swimming hours from early morning to late evening. In the northern states, swimming pool owners will be able to swim all year round. Solar pool heating reduces fuel costs because the sun’s energy is free.
Sunbather solar pool heating requires lower set up costs and has an extended lifespan.
If heated with gas or a heat pump, a pool can be the largest consumer of energy in a household. It is environmentally irresponsible to burn valuable fossil fuels for pool heating when solar is reliable and pollution free. Sunbather solar pool heating does not produce any greenhouse gas and only the small solar circulation pump consumes energy. Electric heat pumps produce approximately 27 times more greenhouse gas than Sunbather’s circulation pump. High efficiency gas heaters will produce approximately 30 times more greenhouse gas.
A swimming pool is an investment, and Sunbather solar pool heating doubles the value of that investment by making it warm and enjoyable for more days per year and more hours per day. By saving on the cost of gas or electric pool heating, solar pool heating is the method that actually pays for itself over time.
