With the new Florida Building Code in effect, pool builders must now be concerned with what is under "the hood." All new pools must leave enough room for a future solar system between the filter and the first valve or fitting. New pools must be installed with a variable speed pump which can save up to 90% energy savings over the typical pump installed in the past. New pools must be built to prevent entrapment. Historical pool/spa combinations require you to turn on the pump, a series of valves and then the heater in order for you to use the spa.
Solar pool heating is a very mature technology; thousands of solar pool heaters have delivered trouble-free operation in Florida since the late 1970s. A quality solar pool heater will keep you swimming in a warm, comfortable pool for the next 15 to 20 years. All solar heating systems work on the same principle as a garden hose sitting out in the sun. A swimming pool holds several thousand gallons of water; small temperature changes require large amounts of energy. Heating a swimming pool on the Suncoast costs more than heating a typical house up north!
