FAFCO solar panels are rated the highest of any in
the market by independent testing organizations. A properly designed system will
allow Florida Solar to provide a written guaranty, ensuring that your pool water
will be over 80°F for 10 months of the year. During the coldest weeks of the
year (usually January) the air temperature is too cool for most people to enjoy
swimming, so the average customer does not miss using their pool when the sun is
too low in the sky to produce a really warm pool. The solar heated pool will
typically be at least 12-15 degrees warmer than an unheated pool, even in the
worst conditions.
Since the Solar system uses your existing pump to
operate, there is no significant incremental operating cost (Less than $1 per
month). FAFCO's patented design produces the least amount of head pressure, so
your pump will not have to work any harder or longer.
No. A Solar Heating System for your pool is a closed
system that re-circulates the water in your pool. Solar Systems for domestic hot
water needs are completely different and separate.
In 1992, the Florida State Legislature passed a law
expressly forbidding Homeowners Associations and any other organization from
prohibiting Solar heating Systems, in order to promote the benefits of using
free, renewable energy. We are almost always able to design systems that are
unobtrusive and satisfy the neighborhood organizations.
Our FAFCO Systems are installed in such a way that we
can easily remove them and later reinstall them at a fraction of the original
cost of the system. If the roof is repaired within the first year of the
system's installation, we do the work at no cost. Consequently, there is no
benefit to postponing your enjoyment of a FAFCO Solar heated pool.
Our installation procedures are designed and have
been approved to withstand hurricane force winds..
We can install our systems to operate as the primary
heat source, with an existing fossil fuel heater serving as a backup. In this
way, you can usually enjoy a warm pool regardless of the weather, and save about
80% of the cost of heating with the existing heater.
FAFCO Systems are the highest rated solar pool
heating systems in the market. In spite of this, they are priced very
competitively with less effective solar systems, and usually less expensive than
heat pump installations. Gas heaters cost less to install, but are very
expensive to operate.
