Use my pool: when can I start enjoying it?

Young and old alike can extend swimming and comfort provided by heated water. From March to October, children and adults can enjoy the comfort and well-being of heated water. This temperature makes swimming pleasant and beneficial to everyone's health.

What are the techniques for heating your pool?

Heating your swimming pool is a simple and easy operation, provided you adopt the right techniques. The help of a professional is not always necessary, as it is sufficient to use the ideal heating system according to the characteristics of the pool and the time of its use.

The characteristics to be known before choosing the heating system are the size of the pool, the area where the pool is located and the environment in relation to the exposure to the sun. A pool in the south does not require a high-power system, whereas a pool in the north, a windier region, will require a high energy heating system.

Use a bubble cover

The use of a bubble cover, also called bubble cover, is an interesting option as it has the function of heating and protecting your pool during the summer. It will be used from the first days your pool is put back into operation until the approach of winter, i.e. in October.

Equipped with small bubbles, this bubble cover will be placed directly on the surface of the pool whose bubble face will be in contact with the water. This cover will prevent impurities from penetrating it.

Its isothermal quality will greatly conserve heat and better, prevent water evaporation, gradually increase the water temperature and then decrease the use of treatment products.

Every pool has its own bubble tarp. But on the market, you can find custom-made models adapted to wooden and above-ground pools. Their design corresponds to the respective size and format of the pool. The advantage of a custom-made bubble cover is that it covers the pool correctly, regardless of its dimensions.

Using an electric heater

The electric heater is an ideal heating system for ponds with a maximum capacity of 20m3. It is the most cost-effective system as it does not consume too much energy. Beyond 20m3 of volume, this heater will be very energy consuming.

How does it work?

The electric heater is synonymous with an auxiliary convector, i.e. it has electric resistors to increase the water temperature.

Use a solar heater

Another system to heat your pool: the solar heater which uses the sun's light rays to work properly. This energy is advantageously free except that the result is sometimes hazardous because the system depends on the weather. Heating the water with the solar heating allows you to have hot water for free and without energy expenditure. The materials used are the solar mat, the solar panel and the solar dome. They are usually installed in regions with a lot of sunshine, such as the south of France for example.

How does it work?

As long as the sun is shining, solar heating offers an optimal heating result. It is free to use and does not consume any energy. The chosen material, dome, panel or carpet, will receive the heat from the sun and then transmit it to the pipes. This heat will be stored in the mechanism and will be distributed progressively throughout the pool.

Using a heat pump

The heat pump is the best way to heat the pool while keeping the ideal temperature to within a degree. The advantage of this equipment is that it is economical with quick and easy operation. The heat of the water will rise gradually and this, without the constraints of the weather or other constraints.

How does it work?

The heat pump works with sensors that absorb natural calories from the earth, air or groundwater. These sensors bring these calories back to the pond's pipes to heat the water. This is the principle of geothermal energy according to professionals.

Whatever heating system you select for your pool, C-piscine.com suggests that you always use a bubble cover to keep the calories collected by your heating tool.
