Heating your pool with gas, electricity or propane can be very expensive. The best way to heat your pool and increase your swimming season is with free energy from the sun!
Most homes can accommodate a solar pool heating system. Although solar collectors are often installed on a roof, they can be installed wherever they can be in the sun for a good portion of the day.
Sunrise Solar has been providing pool owners all over Texas with solar heating since 1991 and is recommended by most major pool builders.
Today's most efficient systems employ the use of an automatically controlled diverting valve. The pool's filtration system is set to run during the period of the most intense sunshine. During this period, when the solar control senses that adequate heat is present in the solar collectors, it causes a motorized diverting valve to turn, forcing the flow of pool water through the solar collectors where water is heated. The heated water then returns to the pool. When heat is no longer present, the water bypasses the solar collector. Thus, most systems have very few moving parts which minimizes operation and maintenance requirements.

If solar systems are installed in order to reduce or eliminate fuel or electricity consumption, they generally pay for themselves in energy savings in two to four years. For those pool owners that desire to heat their pool, solar has been proven to be an effective method. If a pool is not already being heated, a solar system improves the comfort level and extends the swimming season. Whether or not your pool is currently heated, a solar pool heating system is a wise investment because you pay for the equipment only.
Today, more solar energy is used for heating swimming pools than for any other single use. Over 200,000 pools are heated by solar power in the United States alone.
