Energy Savings

The charts
here show the average cost of installing and
maintaining a pool with a gas heater, heat pump or solar heater. The savings for the owner of a pool with solar
heating can be extraordinary.
The energy savings from the use of solar energy for pool heating makes
perfect sense. With the increased pressure on the consumption of
carbon-based fuel and even electricity, it makes sense to make use of a
passive energy source that really works - solar energy. Solar can
also be used to "top up" domestic hot water using a purpose built heat exchanger unit.
