5 Ways to Enjoy Cost-Effective Pool Heating

1. 5 Ways to Enjoy Cost-Effective Pool Heating There is nothing more relaxing than soaking in warm water. But, while we hear from many pool owners that they enjoy a hot water dip, the cost of pool heating is a major downer. One of the most common queries that we hear at Madimack is, “Is there any cost-effective solution to heat the pool”? Well, there are two factors to save and swim — i) Reduce the amount of heat a pool loses and ii) Reduce the amount of energy consumed by the pool heating system i.e. purchase an energy-efficient pool heater. Let’s explore these factors in detail: Tips to reduce the amount of heat a pool loses: Plan for insulation while getting a pool designed: When planning for a pool, don’t forget to include rigid panel insulation under and around the structure to save pool heating cost in the long run.

2. How does insulation help in controlling heat loss? Here is the answer — The ambient temperature of the ground often remains constant and is generally colder than the ideal temperature required to enjoy a comforting swim. When you place insulation it prevents the ground from absorbing the heat of pool water and thus reduces the cost associated with pool heating solutions. Optimize pool mechanical system: A well-planned pool pump and filtration system help in limiting energy costs. When you plan to get a pool, plan for extra valves so that additional pool heating systems like a heat pump can be easily integrated. Remember, proper planning offers the possibility of peak pool performance. Pool location: A pool located in an area that receives maximum sun saves a great deal of your heating energy. At the same time, it is good to have your pool shielded from the wind as the wind on the surface of the pool creates small waves. A flat and tranquil pool has a surface area that is equal to the dimensions of the pool. While the ripples and waves increase the surface area of

Install a pool cover: Pool covers can extend your swim season in all types of climatic conditions by preventing heat loss. There are different types of pool covers viz. winter pool covers, which are generally used for seasonal closings, automatic pool covers, which can be opened and closed with the push of a button, and solar pool covers, which are essentially bubble wrap blankets. Tips to reduce the amount of energy consumed by pool heating system Buy an energy-efficient pool heating system and size it correctly: Last, but not least, get an energy-efficient pool heating system and enjoy a warm water dip without worrying about the energy costs. But, how to make sure that your pool heating system is energy efficient? Simple, check the C.O.P of your pool heater. For pool heating solutions, C.O.P or Coefficient of

4. performance is the efficiency rating. The higher the C.O.P, the more efficient the pool heating system is. Additionally, sizing your heat pump correctly is also crucial to avoid excessive energy consumption. Sizing a pool heating system involves many factors such as pool area, climatic conditions of your place and your swimming habits So, there you have the 5 ways to enjoy cost-effective pool heating. Madimack brings you highly energy-efficient pool heating systems with C.O.P ranging from 8 and 10. Hence, extending your swim season without increasing your utility costs. Moreover, we also bring you a pool online heat pump size calculator that helps you size your pump correctly simply by putting your pool size and calculator.
