How to heat and retain heat in a swimming pool?
With the arrival of the first warm days and sunshine, the desire to use the pool increases, especially for the little ones! However, often the water temperature doesn't allow it.
So how can you use your pool even on these sunny but not yet warm enough days?
Danny, your pool expert, answers.
If you own a small pool or an above-ground pool, an isothermal cover will be enough to guarantee those extra 2/3 degrees needed for swimming.
Isothermal covers function by retaining the heat accumulated in the pool during the day, thus preventing heat loss (and also the evaporation of chemicals).
These covers should be laid directly on the water in the evening, and thanks to their weave, they create a suction cup effect that prevents them from lifting.
For a quick increase in water temperature, you can also use the GRE solar heater, which harnesses the sun's radiation during the day, capturing solar energy and transferring it to conduits that transmit heat to the water.
With these small measures, you can enjoy your pool from the very first sunny days!
However, if you have a large in-ground pool, an isothermal cover (which is always recommended) will not be enough!
In this case, you will need to opt for a heat pump, which captures thermal energy from the air and transfers it to the pool.
The ideal temperature to set is usually 28 degrees, and it will be maintained autonomously by the pump.
This latter solution is perfect for customers who have a photovoltaic system, as it will eliminate electricity costs for heating the pool water.
