When it comes to pool temperature, the proverbial saying different strokes for different folks holds true.

While some like a refreshing swim in cool water, others like their dip warm and relaxing. Indeed, there is no such thing as a consensus on the subject of pool temperature. The recommended temperature is generally between 26 and 28 degrees. However, various studies have presented evidence of the advantages of swimming in water outside this range.

It’s important to consider how the pool is going to be used and by whom. Create a safe and comfortable swimming experience by factoring in the following:

What activities will you do?

If you use your pool to swim laps or other, more intense forms of exercise, the low water temperature would be better. A pool with a temperature that is too warm could be stifling for individuals whose body temperature significantly rises with exercise; many competitive swimming organisations mandate a water temperature of 26 degrees and below.

For less strenuous activities, experts recommend turning up the water temperature. Warmer water tends to loosen up muscles and reduce the likelihood of injury. For this reason, the water in pools used for physical therapy is usually warmer than 28 degrees.

Who Will Be Using the Pool?

Seniors, children and infants experience water temperatures differently, and they are likely to feel uncomfortable even if the water feels fine to you. If an older adult or a very young child is using your pool, you might need to turn up the temperature. Pregnant women and individuals with certain medical conditions such as arthritis or Parkinson’s may also benefit from a higher water temperature.

Making Your Pool Safe and Comfortable to Use

If you’re installing a new pool, one way to help you or your guests feel comfortable when taking a dip is by incorporating a Baja shelf. On days when the deeper part of the water is too chilly, you can still enjoy some pool time by staying on the warmer, shallow end.

If you have an existing pool, it pays to install solar pool heater. While there are many types of pool heaters in the market, a solar pool heating system is the most energy-efficient and therefore most cost-effective choice. A solar pool heating system will help you with skyrocketing electricity and gas prices, as it uses energy from the sun to heat the water in the pool. A further bonus is, with what you can save, it will have paid for itself after a few years.

Solar pool heating is one of the most popular pool heating technologies being used in Australia today. More and more families across the country are choosing solar pool heating systems over standard heaters because of their energy efficiency and cost-effectiveness. The equipment sources heat using commercial grade and high-performance PVCN roof collectors, converting sunlight into warmth for your pool.

You could be interested in purchasing solar pool heating, or maybe you own one already. When you know how to care for a pool heater, you retain its quality and secure your investment. The key to prolonging the life of your solar pool heating system is to practice proper maintenance.

The Parts

Before you get into any maintenance, you should understand how your heating system works. Most solar heating equipment includes the following:

• The solar collector – the component that is attached to your roof to harness solar power
• The flow control valve – part of the equipment that contains the water
• The pump – circulates water from the collector to the pool
• The filter – removes debris before the water is heated and transferred to the pool

Inspection

All types of heating systems require period inspections to ensure they operate efficiently at all times. During inspections, you can identify which parts need repairs and replacements. You can also schedule overall maintenance once you spot areas in your system that aren’t functioning properly. When you address component issues as early as you can, you inevitably extend the life of your heating system.

Cleaning

In Australia, extremely dry weather conditions can affect your solar heating system. When your collectors are dusty and soiled, they perform poorly. Be sure to wipe the surface of your collectors during tough climates.

Leaves, pine needles and other debris often collect within the pumps of solar heating systems. When cleaning your equipment, get rid of any obstructions. Check for pests as well. Foreign objects can cause damage to your pool heating.

Protection

Before the winter months arrive, invest in a pool heating cover. High-quality covers protect your heating system from rain, cold temperatures and extreme heat.

Temperature and Flow Rates

When using your pool heating system, maintain appropriate water temperatures. Avoid over-heating your pool.

Ensure your pool filter has a proper flow rate by removing debris regularly. If water isn’t able to pass through the flow control valve, it could malfunction and require expensive repairs.

Caring for Your Investment

We understand that, just like your home, your swimming pool is an investment. They are a valuable part of your home while functioning as an area of fun and leisure. When you take good care of your heating system, you extend the enjoyment of your pool no matter the weather.

At Pool Solar & Spa, we help you and your family care for your investment. We have years of experience in providing our clients with efficient heating solutions for their pools. For a more comprehensive listing of our products, feel free to browse through our website.

Swimming in a cold pool is quite uncomfortable for many. The climate conditions in some areas make it difficult to swim in the mornings and evenings due to the cooler weather. Summer also doesn’t last very long in some regions of Australia and can prevent you from taking a dip when the air becomes too chilly.

When you invest in pool heating, however, you can swim any in your pool any time you want. An efficient and dependable pool heating system can extend the hours of swimming within a day. Pool heating becomes especially valuable during the winter; it will enable you to make the most of your pool all year long.

FACTORS TO CONSIDER

If you’re thinking of purchasing a pool heating system for your home, here’s a short guide to choosing the most suitable one for you:

Heating Efficiency

A pool heating system’s efficiency will depend on your pool’s size and the system’s heating capacity. It’s always a good idea to choose pool heating that can handle a volume bigger than your pool. When your heating system is suitable for your pool size, it warms up the water quicker.

Moreover, if the water is heated at a quicker rate, this means that the heater doesn’t have to run as for prolonged periods. This way, you can prevent damage and prolong its lifespan.

Your Existing Property

When choosing a pool heating system for your home, factor in the structure and design of your property. If you don’t have enough space in your yard, a small heat pump installed near your pool is the ideal option. If you have a narrow property, you can invest in heating systems that have collectors that are attached to the roof and connected to the main heating system.

THE TYPES OF POOL HEATERS

Pool Solar & Spa designs, manufactures and installs a wide range of pool heating systems across Perth. Our products are hand-picked for their unrivalled performance and clear advantage over other systems in the market.

Solar Pool Heating

Our solar pool heating products are fully automatic pieces of equipment that consist of handmade manifold systems as well as commercial grade and high-performance PVCN heat collectors for longevity and minimal maintenance requirements.

Gas Pool Heating

At Pool Solar & Spa, we carry a series of high-quality gas heaters. They are efficient machines that come with compact designs and fast heat up times, promising the user convenience and efficiency.

Electric Pool Heating

In Perth, electric pool heat pumps are economical choices for heating your pool. The system’s heat exchanger collects heat from the absorbed air and uses the heat to warm up the pool water.

Combination System

We can design a combination of two heating options to give you an excellent system at low operating costs. The most common combination is a solar pool heating system accompanied by either a gas or heat pump. This computer-controlled system keeps your pool at a consistent temperature.

Technologies are constantly developed to help people live more environmentally-friendly lifestyles. If you’ve been considering how to make your pool more eco-friendly, here’s some greener pool heating options for consideration.

Here at Pool Solar and Spa, we offer two systems that help you heat your pool with clean energy: the NanoTek Pool Solar Heating and the Venetian solar system.

These ingenious solar based heating systems involve pumping pool water through black tubes called solar collectors. These tubes are usually placed on the roof to absorb thermal energy. As the water is pumped through the collectors, the sun’s free thermal energy heats the circulating water, gradually increasing the pool’s water temperature to a desirable level.

So how do the two systems differ?

NanoTek Pool Solar Heating

The NanoTek system is today’s most advanced solar heating strip collector in the world. Compared to standard solar collectors, NanoTek absorbs 20% more heat, transfers the sun’s energy 30% faster into 18% more water, while using 40% fewer collectors. In short, NanoTek offers superior efficiency, allowing homeowners to enjoy comfortable temperatures with less water heating time.

Venetian Solar Heating System

For some homeowners, the black colour of solar collectors creates an aesthetic concern. To address this problem, the Venetian solar heating system is cleverly designed to make its tubes blend with your roof’s colour. Each tube is black on the side facing the sun and coloured like your roof on the rest of the tubing. So when you look at the solar collectors on the roof all you see is the colour of your roof and not the black tubing, it looks virtually invisible whilst absorbing the sun’s heat with great efficiency.

The Venetian solar heating system is the solution for homeowners who have aesthetic requirements while the NanoTek pool solar heating system is ideal for those looking for the most efficient solar heating system.

Using solar pool heating systems for your pool, helps you save time, money and reduce your carbon footprint. If you are considering maintaining your pool temperature at comfortable levels with the help of NanoTek Pool Solar Heating or the Venetian solar heating system, contact Pool Solar and Spa today for expert pool heating in Perth.

Having a swimming pool in your backyard adds a source of exercise and entertainment to your home. Just imagine a beautiful summer day when you can just take your mind off work and relax at home with family or friends. Since your pool is just a few steps away, you can go out and take a dip whenever you want to. However, what about those times when it’s too cold to go out for that swim?

Although the weather may be cold, it is still possible for you to swim if you have a pool heater. You may opt to use a gas or electric heater for your pool, but the most cost-effective way of heating a pool is by using a solar pool heating system.

Eco-Friendly Heating

Solar pool heaters generate and use energy that is renewable and reliable. A solar heater uses the cleanest form of energy since it doesn’t use resources such as oil or gas that produce emissions. Heating your pool using solar energy produces the smallest impact on the environment while reducing household energy at the same time.

Low Maintenance

A solar heater requires less maintenance compared to gas and electric heaters, which require a technician to service them every year. Using a solar heater is less hassle and incurs lower costs when maintaining your pool heater.

Cost-Saving Option

With a solar pool heater, you would never have to spend on burning fossil fuels every time you need to heat your pool.

Pool Solar & Spa is a Perth pool heating company that offers the Venetian Solar pool heating system. It reduces the visual impact of a solar heating system on your roof while retaining a black collector that is capable of collecting maximum heat.

For any inquiry about our solar heating system, call 08 9209 1462.

Pools can sometimes be overlooked in the importance they play in a home. However, when you see your family choose to go out and have fun by the pool instead of staying indoors watching TV, it almost certainly brings a sense of satisfaction that you have one.

Swimming in warm water has been scientifically proven to have many health benefits. Other than positive links to health, people simply enjoy going for a hot swim.

Homeowners in Australia rely on heat pumps to keep their pools warm on chilly days and truly, solar pool heat pumps have revolutionised the way our pools collect heat. Technicians attach black-coloured solar collectors on the roofs and connect them to heat exchangers that are responsible for warming up a pool. Despite the efficiency of these collectors, however, some people are not too keen on having them on their roof for aesthetic reasons.

Thankfully, Pool Solar and Spa has the answer for both pool heat and maintaining the aesthetic value of your property.

The Undeniable Beauty of Venetian Solar Pool Heating

Our Venetian Solar heating systems are proudly Australian and made with the finest materials and quality. They are some of the market’s best pool heating systems, offering the ultimate solution to the problems posed by traditional solar heat pumps.

Compared to standard solar heating systems, our Venetian Solar range blends in with the colour of your roof from eye level. The black segment of the collector is positioned to face the sun for maximum heat absorption while your eyes can only see the co-extruded coloured strip. The co-extruded strip is manufactured with advanced polymer technology, ensuring that the strip mimics the colour of your roof.

Colour Options for Enhanced Appearance

If your roof carries a unique shade, don’t worry. With a variety of colours for our Venetian Solar systems, you are sure to find one that suits your roof. Venetian Solar heating combines the efficiency of traditional solar heating systems and excellent camouflage capabilities.

Established in 1996, Pool Solar and Spa has been designing, manufacturing and installing pool heat pumps in Perth. Call us on (08) 92091462 for all your pool heating needs.

Having a swimming pool at home is a common setup for many Australians. They spend their free days, weekends and even evenings going for a swim with family and friends. Athletic members of the family use the pool to do laps in, and younger children use it to have fun during the summer holidays.

Our solar pool heating systems are fully automatic.  We use commercial grade, high-performance PVCN heat collectors for longevity and minimal maintenance requirements.

Dipping in warm waters relaxes the body and the mind. Long before researchers had looked into the health benefits of warm waters, different cultures had already been reaping the benefits of hot springs.

There are already recommendations to take hot baths or warm up in hot tubs before exercising. Recently though, a study has looked into the effects of hot water immersion after exercising.
