All solar swimming
pool heating systems which have been certified by an independent
testing laboratory have a performance rating. Our pool systems
have the highest rating of any solar pool heater made in the
USA, and our custom system is installed with no holes in your
roof.
What would it
cost to heat my pool using gas?
If you were to heat your pool to the same temperatures solar
will provide, you would spend approximately $5.00 per square
foot of surface area of the pool per year. If your pool was
500 sq. ft. for example, you would spend $2,500.00 per year
to heat with gas.
What would it
cost to heat my pool using a solar system?
A solar pool system can provide up to 8 months of comfortable
temperatu
res and cost nothing to run since the filter pump must
circulate the pool water anyway.
Can I install
a system into my existing pool?
Yes, whether you already own a pool or are purchasing a new
pool, a solar swimming pool system can work for you.
Will a solar system
make my roof look cluttered?
The solar system is attractive, especially on tile. The flexible
format of the solar collectors means that it will conform to
any roof style... go up and down valleys and up and over hip
ends too. The effect of a tile roof is retained because each
tile edge will still be plainly visible and on a custom installation,
the collectors can be color coordinated to match any tile roof.
How big will my
system be?
Your system will by sized for approximately 80% coverage of
the pool surface area. So if your pool was 500 sq. ft., your
solar system would be 400 sq. ft. of solar collectors.
Do you install
commercial pool solar systems?
Yes, our custom solar pool system is the clear choice for commercial
installations. On a flat roof, the collectors can be made as
long as 200 ft. and require no bolt holes in the roof.
Can I use my pool
system to heat the hot water in my home?
No. Your domestic hot water uses a separate solar heating system.
In your home, water temperatures exceed 120 degrees Fahrenheit.
Using a pool system would not be efficient.
What about maintenance?
The Free Energy Store's solar system has been designed to be
virtually maintenance free with the exception that the pipes
need to be drained of water before freezing weather. You should
winterize in Las Vegas around mid November and turn it back
on about mid February. If you require service for any reason,
just call our office. We generally can schedule you for the
next day but always within three day
