Solar Swimming Pool Heaters

Increasingly our customers are finding that Solar systems can significantly reduce swimming pool heating costs. They're very cost competitive with both gas and heat pump pool heaters and have very low annual operating costs (with the benefits of free sunshine).
A solar pool heating system usually has a payback of between 2 - 5 years, depending on your local energy costs and the location of your house. They also typically last longer than gas and heat pump pool heaters. Of course, your actual cost and payback depend on many factors.

Single Speed Pump versus Two-Speed Pump?

A standard single speed pool filtration system operates on a time clock for approximately 8 hours/day. A 2 horsepower pump consumes approximately 1.5kw per hour. Assuming an electric rate of $0.10 per kWh, the following equation would apply: 8 hours X 1.5kw per hour X the rate of $0.10 per kWh = $1.20 per day. $1.20 per day X 30 days = $36.00 per month total.
A two-speed system can operate your pool's filtration system 24-hours per day; 3 hours per day on high speed (2 horsepower) and 21 hours per day on low speed (1/3 horsepower) for about the same costs as the single speed system running 8 hours.
