Solar heat questions
A few questions about Solar Heating for the Pool:
1) Is it worth doing? Yes
2) Issues? Only one we’ve had in the 8 years we’ve had it is a leak in one of the panels which was repaired pretty easily by Jack’s solar.
3) A local contractor they could recommend - OR not recommend?
Jack's Solar? That’s who we used and were happy with him.
Fun in the Sun? In our experience the solar in the colder months does not make it warm enough to swim in my opinion. Ours will only raise the temperature between 5-10 degrees but that may be because of the amount of roof suitable to place the panels. If you could put more on the roof and use a cover (we don’t) I’m sure you would be able to raise the temperature more. The only other thing is the cost to remove an replace them if you need a new roof.
Thanks in advance.[/QUOTE]
