Solar Pool Heating - How to Maximize Efficiency and Create a Money Savings Machine

There is a lot of buzz about solar pool heaters, especially in the areas which are highly populated with backyard pools.
Without boring you with the typical, "save the planet mentality" to persuade you in implementing solar technology in an effort to reduce your power consumption (although it will do that as well), that will not motivate 90% of the population.
Why? Because most Americans simply are too blinded by greed, convenience, and ignorance to submit to a new way of thinking, living, and being.
However, implementing solar pool heating WILL SAVE YOU MONEY! In these tough economic times, I believe this is something we can all get on board with.
Solar pool heaters can be a wonderful strategy in reducing the amount of gas, propane or electric heat commonly used for pool heating, especially in the off months.
Paying exuberant amounts of cash to essentially heat an exposed outdoor water tank is not only inefficient, but violates common sense.
Why not utilize the cost effective strategies of the sun to heat your pool year round.
Solar pool heating is one of the best applications for solar technology.
Simple and relatively inexpensive closed loop systems allow your pool to be constantly filtrated with naturally warm water.
The power of the sun has never been easier to capture in such a no brainer application.
Solar pool heating is cost competitive with both gas and heat pump pool heaters, and they have very low annual operating costs, if any.
There is a small investment into your system, which will be recouped within a short time frame, at which point you will essentially have a money "saving" machine attached to your pool and home.
Once you have harnessed the power of the sun for such a simple application you will not believe you waited this long to do so and will see endless opportunities to implement this technology.
The beauty of low-cost solar pool heating kits is their simplicity and high efficiency (up to 80 percent!).
Ask yourself what your current heating efficiency is, compared to how much you are paying out of your hard earned money each day for something you hardly ever use.
Imagine the freedom to know that your pool is a constant temperature, feeding off the natural energy of the all mighty sun.
Solar pool heaters come in a variety of installations.
Installing a do-it-yourself solar pool heating kit provides several months' additional pool use, which otherwise you would be paying out the ear for and hardly ever using.
The freedom in solar will get you on your energy independence from the very beginning.
Trust me, it is not difficult to apply this knowledge to your own pool or property - all it takes is a willingness to try.
How does a solar pool heater actually work? Simply put you will have a solar collector absorbing the suns natural energy as heat, transferring this energy (heat) to a piped system connected to your pools water pump.
As the water comes up to the solar heating agent, it is warmed to a higher temperature and returns to your pool heating the remaining water.
Solar pool heating collectors are made out of different materials, glazed and unglazed (protected, unprotected).
The panel type you choose largely depends on the climate you are located in and when you will be using your pool.
A small amount of research can save you A LOT of money in a relatively small amount of time.
Solar is not only a smart, environmentally conscious way to live, but one of the greatest investments you will ever make.
An investment giving you paybacks for the rest of your life!
