Showering in cold water may have a few hidden health benefits, but when you are swimming for leisure, I'd assume that you’d want to swim in some sort of comfort. That's why you might be on the market for a pool heater. You might feel guilty about buying a pool heater, because a pool heater uses a lot of electricity for a purely recreational activity. Well, feel guilty no longer. A solar pool heater can give you that sought-after comfort while keeping the atmosphere clean.
A solar water heater is also a great bargain. According to the EERE, a solar pool heater is the most cost-effective use of solar energy on the market. The money saved by a solar pool heater is so substantial that you can see a return on your money in less than two years.
Heating a pool in Miami can cost nearly $2,000 dollars a year. A solar pool heater only costs a few thousand dollars. That means, in Miami, a place with plenty of sun, a solar pool heater can save you nearly $36,000 dollars over twenty years. (That's with a lot of variables in place. The title is admittedly yellow journalism.) That's enough to buy a hybrid or insulate your home.
Solar Pool Heating from Sunshine Solar Technologies & Heliocol was featured in the Rockin' Out in Staten Island episode of Wa$ted!
