Can anyone tell me your experiences with solar pool systems. I'm thinking of getting one for my 40,000 gallon pool. I'm looking for one that would mount on the roof and connect to my system. I live in New Mexico and not sure what to expect.
I already have a 400,000 BTU natural gas boiler for the pool, but this is very expensive to run.
I would call a local solar water heating installer and get some cost estimates. They should be willing to come out and speak with you about installing a system, and probably provide references for other folks who have installed them.
I know that solar water heating tends to be fairly cost effective, and that the panels "work." But I don't have a sense of the specific cost or square footage involved for pool heating.
I do know two good web sites to find local solar panels installers. One provides written online references, so you know that others have had a good experience. The other "certifies" installers, so you know that they know what they are doing.
A third web site that I would recommend is one that will show you any and all incentives or rebates for which you are eligible. This might help you buy down the cost of your system.
I'm sorry that I can't provide more concrete information on these systems. But I hope this will be a good place to start.
How do I maintain my 8' Intex Swimming Pool?
We bought a 8' generic Intex pool with pump/filter system at Walmart. The kids love it. I have a solar cover for it, we cover it every night, and currently it has a floater with a 3" chlorine tablet inside of it. It's been in there for 6 days now, and the tablet is still there and pretty big. The Chlorine we got was the HTH 3 in 1. It santizies the pool and prevents algae. Given that the pump is not that great, we use a net to get all of the remaining things before we go in it everyday. As of yesterday, the water started looking a little cloudy, when everyone got out. My question is...how do I keep the water nice and clear? And what it the best, mose cost effective way to maintain my pool at it's best this summer?
Thanks!
yea..it's not a big pool so I really dont need a pool man. No dumb answers please.
You are doing a great job. You may have to change filter in the pump. You may have to buy the Clarifier liquid instead of the tabs. My pool is 15 feet so I know what you mean. I bet if you tested you are low on chlorine. Good luck.
