Solar Heat For Above Ground Pools

Solar Panels For Above Ground Pools

Solar heating is a very desirable way to heat your pool and spa for one simple reason; It’s free heat. After the initial investment, the heat that raises the water temperature in your pool or spa is free.

The sun provides the energy to generate the heat through the solar panels or solar blanket. Solar blankets also prevent massive heat loss. When a pool or spa is covered with a solar blanket, the heating cost can drop by 70%.

How Solar Blankets Work

Solar blankets serve a very useful role. Retaining heat is the most important one. A solar blanket will also help raise the water temperature a certain amount, but if you are expecting a

solar blanket to heat your pool to 90 degrees in March or September, you will be disappointed. You can, however, expect a modest temperature increase with your solar blanket.

The following are tips and ideas that will prolong the life of your solar blanket and make the most of your solar blanket experience.

Getting Your Solar Blanket

When you measure your pool for your new solar cover, measure from the longest and widest points of the pool. Include steps and loveseats. When you get your solar blanket, it will be a large triangle. Lay it over the pool, bubble side down and leave it for a day or two before trimming it. This will allow the blanket to “open” a bit before trimming, giving a better fit.

Save Money AND Go GREEN!

Solar Panels for above ground pools are fantastic. Not only do get free heat -but there are no pilots to light, no expensive parts or anything that will take away from the fun of swimming and using your pool.

Whether you use the solar panels or the solar blankets , it doesnt matter. Both use the exact same style of heating for your above ground pools. You can rest assured that you are getting the best possible heating available.

Hopefully you will find the right solar heating for your above ground pools and make a huge difference in your bills and join the rest of us on the GREEN side. These things really do make a difference – for everybody.
