Extend your family’s enjoyment of your
swimming pool by heating its water with the
free energy from the sun. Add value to your
home while improving your lifestyle. The kids
will never want to leave the pool again
It’s a well known fact that most swimming pools
rarely achieve comfortable swimming temperatures,
even during the height of summer
A standard Home Comfort solar system comprising
solar panels and a solar heat retention blanket will
improve your pool temperature by 10°C to 12°C
warmer than normal. This will allow for comfortable
swimming in most parts of South Africa for most of
the year
A Home Comfort solar system comprising solar
panels only will increase your pool temperature by
5°C to 9°C warmer than normal. This will extend
your annual swimming season to approximately
seven months
BENEFITS
- No extra electricity costs – your existing
pool pump is used to circulate the water
through the panels.
- An investment – solar heating is
affordable, yet the value of your house
escalates markedly if such a feature is
installed.
- Environmentally friendly – solar energy
is clean energy. No pollution and no
exploitation of limited natural resources
- Ease of installation – installation takes
less than a day. No mess, no fuss, no
people walking through your house
A Home Comfort pool heating
system is the tried and tested
method of heating any pool,
large or small!
Don’t stop using your pool just
because the water is too cold.
Your pool is a big investment.
Get maximum use and fun from
the sun by heating your pool the
Home Comfort way. Once
installed, there are no running
costs and your system works totally
in harmony with nature.
Typical solar pool heating
installation
Home Comfort solar panels (made
of durable and hard-wearing
HDPE) are fitted to the roof.
Water from the pool is channelled
through the panels and is heated
by the sun’s rays. The water is
then returned to the pool by the
existing pool pump. With such an
efficient system temperatures
between 22°C to 41°C are
achieved. This system not only
absorbs heat directly from the sun,
but absorbs heat by conduction
from your roof. In effect, the roof
becomes part of the solar system.
Pool covers
Thermal pool covers are affordable,
easy to use and can be fitted to
any shape and size pool. They
raise the water temperature by
6°C to 8°C and reduce evaporation
by up to 90% – an important
consideration in a country where
water is a precious resource.
The covers prevent dirt and leaves
from entering the pool and will
assist in retaining heat generated
in cases of heated pools. This
contributes greatly to the
conservation of energy as pool
heat pumps and cleaning pumps
can run for less time, saving power
and costs. The covers are not used
for safety purposes.
Modular system
The Home Comfort system is
modular, meaning that additional
panels can be added at any time,
roof space permitting. If a pool
cover is not to be used in
conjunction with the system, it is
normally recommended that
additional panels be added if
luxury temperatures are required.
Alternative water heating
option
A heat pump, using electrical
power as its source as opposed to
the sun, can be installed as an
alternative method for heating the
water in your swimming pool.
Features
Home Comfort solar pool heating
has the following features:
- Modular system – easy to add
panels to meet individual needs.
- Tried and tested technology –
countrywide.
- Economical – the most cost
effective way to heat your pool.
