P.S. How much a solar heater consumes to heat up your pool?[/quote]
The only energy required is the extra amount necessary to pump the water up to the roof. We have put in an offer on a house in SD that doesn’t have one, so I looked into the cost of installing one and they are about $3-5,000. We used to live in SD and had a pool with a solar heater and we’d have to turn it off from time to time because the water would get too warm (our grid was positioned on a portion of our roof that faced due south, so it was very efficient). And I think I’ve said this before in this thread, but I have looked at a million pool websites and http://www.poolcenter.com has been the best – lots of great information. For example, here is a link to basic info about solar pool heaters http://www.poolcenter.com/Swimming_Pool_Solar_Heating_22.htm.
