Heat your swimming pool in Spain
SMART SOLAR thermal solar technology is the cost effective way to heat swimming pools, whether they are Olympic size or simply a small domestic pool. Instead of using expensive and inefficient fossil fuel to heat your pool use the natural light of the sun, a free source of energy. Our Philosophy Heating your swimming pool by traditional fossil fuel is very expensive and very wasteful of the planet's resources. Burning gas or oil creates harmful emissions and increases our fuel dependency for sourcing our energy from parts of the world that may not always be stable, friendly or even capable of supplying our fuel needs. Pools should be heated to around 28°C.
If you heat your pool to any significantly higher temperature algae and bacteria can cause problems unless you increase the chlorine levels significantly. Temperatures lower than about 25°C are uncomfortable for most people. Thermal solar systems provide pool temperatures within the recommended range in most locations without the need to have a boiler system or an electric heating system. These levels of performance are not possible in Northern latitudes in winter, when the daylight hours are short.
