What Your San Diego Pool Solar Installation Provides
Over the decades, we have been taking phone calls from homeowners in San Diego asking us about heating their pool and the first thing we would ask is what they are trying to achieve. Most often, they would tell us that they wanted the water warmer during the swim season. We would also ask them if they are trying to swim year around or if they were wanting to swim in the winter. If that was the case, we would discuss with them possibly installing a pool heat pump or a propane or gas pool heater. This is due to the fact that a new pool solar installation in San Diego will not heat the pool in the winter as the system relies on the heat of the sun.
So when the day time temperatures rise and the night time temperatures fall, that is when your pool solar will start to heat up the pool, getting you swimming sooner than your neighbor along with allowing you to swim past their timeline. If you want or need the ability to swim in the winter, we can have that conversation on how we can help with a pool heat pump or pool heater installation as we also specialize in those services.
The San Diego Pool Solar Installation Process
We first schedule an estimator to come out and walk the job so that we can ensure the best location and the specific equipment needed to provide you with the correct system that allows the best return on investment and the warmest pool possible. Once we provide you with an estimate for the best pool solar installation for your San Diego swimming pool and you accept the contract, we then schedule to have the pool solar installation performed. Below, we will explain the specifics for the San Diego pool solar installation.
Plumbing The Pool Solar From The Equipment To The Panels
For the pool solar plumbing, it starts with the connection to the pool plumbing where the water flow would break off and feed up to the roof pool solar or to a ground mounted pool solar rack. This involves the installation of a diverter valve along with a valve actuator that is an electronic device that rotates the diverter valve when turning the solar on or off. This electronic valve is operated by your pool automation or pool solar controller. Then you have the plumbing that will either run up to the roof or our to the ground mounted pool solar array
The plumbing will run both to and from the pool solar panels regardless of where they are installed. The most common pool solar installation in San Diego is on the roof though, we do quite a bit of ground mounted pool solar systems when people have the extra land or space to accommodate. Regardless, the solar plumbing will run to and from the pool solar panels and this plumbing always needs to be secured so no damage occurs.
The Pool Solar Controller Or Pool Automation
When it comes to the control or operation of the pool solar system, you need to have some type of controller. These controllers or pool automation is what will turn on and off the pool solar along with knowing when the system is ready to call for heat or when to turn off if the weather changes and cools down. This allows the system to prevent cold water being produced if the marine layer comes in or when the sun comes out so that the system can be optimized to produce the best heat return to the pool during the different seasons.
A pool solar controller is specific to the pool solar and the pool pump. The pool solar controller utilizes the temp sensors for the water and air to determine when to turn on or off along with the pool solar controller can help adjust the pool pump’s flow if it happens to be a variable speed pool pump. The pool automation that does the same as the pool solar controller is a system that controls all of the pool and spas features. Pool automation can turn on pool and spa lights, turn on the spa jet pump, turn on or off the spa when wanting to use it, and is an overall complete system. Most newer pools that also have spas are likely to have pool automation and the use of a WiFi capable control.
The Pool Solar Panel Installation Process
When installing the pool solar panels on the roof or ground mounted pool solar, we will measure out exactly where the panels will be installed to ensure that we can make the most secure installation process to protect the panels and system. Once the panels are laid out and connected, we will then mount the panels to the roof or ground mount to ensure they are secured from damage. The last step to complete the San Diego pool solar installation is to install the strapping which will help prevent any issues with the elements that could cause the panels to lift or pull off of the installation.
Once this is complete, your new pool solar system is complete and you will be ready to start enjoying warmer water with your family and friends. We always walk the installation once we finish to ensure that there are no concerns or anything that we believe may need to be corrected. This gives us and the customer the peace of mind that they will not have any issues or premature pool solar repairs.
